This AB Tools 4 Leg Lifting Chain Sling is designed for professionals in construction and rigging who require a robust and adjustable lifting solution. Its key benefit is the versatile adjustability provided by the grab hook shorteners, allowing for precise load positioning and preventing tangling, with a significant caveat being the need for strict adherence to safety precautions and WLL limits. This sling offers a safe working load of 6.7 tonnes, conforms to EN 818-4 (grade 80) standards, and features a master link, connector links, and clevis hooks for comprehensive lifting operations.

The overall Safe Working Load (SWL) or Working Load Limit (WLL) for this 4-leg chain sling is 6.7 Tonnes. However, individual components like connector links, grab hooks, and clevis hooks have a WLL of 3.15 Tonnes.
You can adjust the length of each chain leg by using the integrated grab hooks. Simply hook the chain link into the desired position on the grab hook to shorten the leg.
Grade 80 refers to the strength classification of the chain, indicating it is suitable for overhead lifting applications and meets specific strength and testing requirements as per EN 818-4 standards.
The Effective Working Length (EWL) of each individual chain leg is 2 Metre. This is the length from the master link to the end hook when fully extended.
No, it is critical to never exceed the stated Working Load Limit (WLL) of 6.7 tonnes for the entire sling. Overloading can lead to catastrophic failure and severe injury.
Clevis hooks are designed to securely attach to lifting points on the load. They often provide a more robust connection than simple eye hooks.
Inspections should be performed before each use, and more thorough periodic inspections should be carried out by a competent person at regular intervals, as recommended by safety regulations and the manufacturer.
Adjust the grab hook shorteners on the chain legs to redistribute the weight. Ensure the load's center of gravity is correctly identified and balanced.
Inspect the hook and latch for damage or obstructions. Do not use if the latch mechanism is faulty. Consider replacing the affected hook.
Immediately remove the sling from service. Stretched or deformed chain links indicate excessive load or material fatigue and require professional assessment or replacement.
Clean the affected areas with a wire brush. If corrosion is deep or compromises the link's integrity, the sling must be removed from service.
Setup: Ensure the master link is securely attached to the lifting device (e.g., crane hook). Connect the clevis hooks of each chain leg to the load's designated lifting points. Utilize the grab hooks to adjust the length of each chain leg as needed to achieve a balanced lift. Ensure all hooks are securely latched and that the load is stable before lifting.
Compatibility: This sling is designed for use with appropriate lifting equipment rated for the load's weight. The master link is compatible with standard lifting hooks. The clevis hooks are designed to attach to lifting points on the load.
Care: Regularly inspect all components for signs of wear, such as nicks, cuts, stretching, corrosion, or heat damage. Check that all safety catches and hooks function correctly. Clean the sling after use, especially if exposed to corrosive materials. Store the sling in a dry place, protected from the elements. Always refer to the manufacturer's guidelines for detailed inspection and maintenance procedures. Do not use the sling if any damage is detected or if the load exceeds the stated WLL.
