FAQs

The Safe Working Load (SWL) for this Clevis Shortening Clutch is 8 Tonne.

What size chain is this clutch compatible with?

This clutch is designed specifically for use with 16mm chain size.

What does 'Grade 80' material mean?

Grade 80 refers to a specific standard for high-strength alloy steel used in lifting chains and components, indicating superior tensile strength and durability compared to lower grades.

How do I receive the test certificate?

The test certificate will be supplied separately via email after purchase.

Can this clutch be used for lifting personnel?

No, this product is designed for general industrial lifting applications and is not certified or suitable for lifting personnel.

What is the advantage of a shortening clutch over a grab hook?

A shortening clutch holds an entire chain link, providing a more secure and evenly distributed grip compared to a grab hook, which can sometimes pinch or create stress points on the chain.

What standards does this product conform to?

This Clevis Shortening Clutch conforms to BS EN 1677 standards.

Troubleshooting

Clutch does not securely hold the chain link.

Ensure a full 16mm chain link is correctly seated within the clutch cavity and that the clevis pin mechanism is fully closed and secured. Check for any debris preventing a proper fit.

Difficulty opening or closing the clevis pin.

Check for dirt, rust, or foreign objects obstructing the mechanism. Clean the pin and housing. If damage is apparent, do not use the clutch and replace it.

Product shows signs of deformation or excessive wear.

Immediately remove the clutch from service. Any deformation or significant wear indicates potential structural compromise. Contact the supplier for a replacement and follow their guidelines for disposal.
