Lashing Chain with C Hooks

Lashing chains with C hooks are specialized chains used for securing cargo, particularly in transportation and logistics industries. These chains are equipped with C-shaped hooks on each end, which are designed to attach to various anchor points or securement devices, such as tie-down points on a truck, trailer, or other cargo-carrying equipment. The C hooks are open on one side, making it easy to attach and remove them from anchor points.

Permanent Magnetic Lifter

A permanent magnetic lifter is a specialized lifting device designed to move and transport ferrous (iron-containing) materials in a safe and efficient manner. Unlike traditional lifting equipment that relies on hooks, slings, or other mechanical means, permanent magnetic lifters use powerful permanent magnets to secure and lift heavy loads. They are commonly used in various industries, including manufacturing, construction, and metalworking.

Container Lifting Lug

These container lifting lugs are designed to fit into the side of the ISO corner boxes. Some are designed specifically for the side of the top corner box, some for the bottom corner box and others can be fitted in either. Their shape allows them to be fitted into the ISO corner box side slot. Once fitted they are usually attached to one leg of 2 leg sling. The lug is rotated in the ISO corner box to the angle of the sling and a spring loaded pin locks it in place,

Guidance on the methods used for removing surface rust from Grade 8 steel chains and components

The environment in which high tensile steel chains and components are commonly used will cause corrosion of the material. As a part of a good inspection/maintenance regime it is beneficial to remove this surface rust. However, it is important to ensure that the correct method is selected as some techniques can damage the equipment or reduce its life span. This guidance document identifies and provides guidance on some of the common de-rusting methods available on the market.

Proof Test of Alloy Chain Sling

Proof testing is a quality control test where a load is applied to a sling. For chain slings this is usually twice the working load limit or rated load. This is done to assure that each and every part of that sling is more than capable of performing at the working load limit before it is put into service.
