Chain Slings EN 818-4
Chain slings in accordance with EN 818-4 (grade 8 and 10)
Our chain slings are manufactured and tested in accordance with EN 818-4 and are available in grade 8 and grade 10, either assembled or welded. Grade 10 chain slings offer an approximately 25% higher load capacity with the same nominal size as grade 8 chain slings.
They are suitable for use as slings in technical applications, e.g. in container handling and loading of large containers, or in lifting machinery, pallets, coils and assemblies. They are available in 1-, 2-, 3- or 4-strand chains and come with a test certificate in accordance with DIN 685-4. We are happy to supply customised lengths, hook types and surface finishes on request.
Properties: tested and not gauge-relevant
Execution: Polished, painted black, bituminized, electro galvanized, hot-dip galvanized
Chains: As hook and/or ring chains
