Frequently Asked Questions – Chain Slings (Grade 8 / Anschlagketten)
What is a chain sling and why choose Grade 8?
A chain sling (Anschlagkette) is a durable lifting assembly of alloy steel chain links and fittings, used to securely connect loads to cranes or hoists. Grade 8 (equivalent to Grade 80 in many international contexts) provides excellent strength-to-weight ratio, high abrasion resistance, and reliability for industrial lifting. It excels in tough conditions with sharp edges, moderate heat, and frequent use — offering proven performance and safety.
How do sling angles affect the working load limit (WLL)?
Sling angle significantly reduces capacity as tension increases per leg:
- 0°–45°: Full rated WLL (e.g., 2,800 kg for 2-leg NG 8-8; 4,250 kg for 4-leg shortenable NG 8-8)
- 45°–60°: Approx. 70% of full WLL (e.g., 2,000 kg for 2-leg NG 8-8; 3,000 kg for 4-leg shortenable NG 8-8)
How do I select the right number of legs (1-, 2-, or 4-leg)?
Choose based on load weight, shape, balance, and attachment points:
- 1-leg: Ideal for centered, balanced loads or modular setups (with swivel/carabiner options)
- 2-leg: Suitable for elongated or stable loads; widely used in crane operations (e.g., up to 2,800 kg at 0°–45°)
- 4-leg: Best for heavy, uneven, large, or unstable loads needing maximum stability and capacity (e.g., up to 4,250 kg at 0°–45°)
What does GS-tested and DIN EN 818-4 mean?
GS (Geprüfte Sicherheit) is German safety certification confirming compliance and quality. DIN EN 818-4 is the European harmonized standard for alloy steel chain slings, specifying design, manufacturing, testing, proof-loading, and traceability requirements. All Traydon chain slings meet these for legal compliance and dependable performance in professional lifting.
Can chain slings be shortened, and how?
Yes — opt for shortenable models (e.g., 4-leg NG 8-8 with VHGS shortening hook) for tool-free, safe length adjustment while preserving full WLL when correctly engaged. Fixed-length models suit consistent requirements; select based on your typical lift setups.
How do chain slings compare to wire rope or webbing slings?
Chain slings offer superior durability:
- Vs. wire rope: Better resistance to abrasion, cuts, and sharp edges; longer life in abusive conditions
- Vs. webbing slings: Tougher, more compact, and resistant to chemicals/cuts; preferred for heavy, repeated industrial use
How should I inspect and maintain chain slings?
Conduct daily visual inspections (by competent person) for wear, cracks, nicks, bends, stretch, corrosion, damaged hooks/tags, or illegible markings. Perform documented annual (or more frequent) thorough inspections. Clean after use, store dry and elevated, and immediately remove damaged slings from service per DIN EN 818-4. Never attempt field repairs — contact Traydon for certified replacements or professional servicing.
What environments are Grade 8 chain slings suitable for?
Grade 8 alloy steel with protective finishes is ideal for indoor/outdoor industrial settings — construction sites, shipyards, harbors, workshops, and crane operations. They perform well with sharp edges, moderate heat (avoid >400°C to prevent capacity reduction), and frequent handling. For highly corrosive or chemical environments, consider stainless steel variants.
