What Australian Standards does this chain sling comply with?
This Double Leg Chain Sling is manufactured and tested in accordance with Australian Standard AS 3775.1:2014, which covers product specification and selection for Grade 80 (T8) and Grade 100 (T) chain slings.

How often should a chain sling be inspected?
A visual inspection by a competent person should be carried out before each use. More comprehensive periodic inspections are required based on usage frequency, ranging from monthly for high-use slings (201+ lifts/week) to annually for low-use slings (1-5 lifts/week), as per AS 3775.2.

What does the '3.5T' in the product name signify?
The '3.5T' refers to the Working Load Limit (WLL) of 3.5 tonnes, which is the maximum mass this double leg chain sling is rated to lift safely under normal conditions, typically at a 60-degree sling angle.

Can this chain sling be used for all types of lifting?
This Grade 80 double leg chain sling is designed for general industrial lifting applications. However, it's crucial to always consider the load's weight, centre of gravity, and shape, and to consult the sling's WLL tag and AS 3775.2 for specific lift configurations and potential derating factors, such as sling angle or reeving.

What is Grade 80 alloy steel?
Grade 80 (G80 or T8) is a common designation for alloy steel used in lifting chains, indicating a minimum tensile strength of 800 N/mm². It is widely used in Australia for its strength and durability in overhead lifting applications, complying with AS 2321 for chain and AS 3776 for components.
