FAQs

What is the Working Load Limit (WLL) for this link?

The Working Load Limit (SWL) for this 7MM Half Chain Component Link is 2 Tonnes (2000 kg).

What does 'Grade 80' material signify?

Grade 80 material refers to a high-strength alloy steel that is heat-treated, providing superior strength and toughness suitable for overhead lifting applications.

What does a 4:1 factor of safety mean?

A 4:1 factor of safety means the component's ultimate breaking strength is at least four times its working load limit, providing a significant margin of safety.

How do I get the test certificate?

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

Can this link be used with other sizes of chain?

No, this link is specifically designed for 7mm chains. Using it with other chain sizes is not recommended and will compromise safety.

What types of fittings is this compatible with?

It is designed to couple with fittings that require a half coupling lock, such as coupling self-locking hooks and insulated swivels.

What is the purpose of the yellow finish?

The yellow finish provides visibility and also acts as a protective coating against corrosion.

Troubleshooting

Link does not couple with fitting

Ensure the fitting is designed for half coupling lock and is compatible with 7mm Grade 80 chain components. Verify alignment and that no obstructions are present.

Visible signs of wear or damage

Immediately remove the link from service. Do not attempt to repair. Replace with a new, certified component.

Corrosion on the surface

Light surface rust can often be cleaned with a soft cloth. If corrosion is deep or compromises the material, the link should be removed from service.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-strength Grade 80 material ensures durability.
  • Complies with BS EN 1677 safety standards.
  • Includes a 4:1 factor of safety for enhanced user confidence.
  • Yellow finish aids visibility and offers corrosion protection.
  • Comes with a test certificate for quality assurance.

Cons

  • Requires specific compatible fittings for full functionality.
  • Primarily designed for specialized lifting applications, not general use.
  • The yellow finish may be susceptible to scratching over time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The SFYASHCL07 is designed to be integrated into existing chain sling assemblies. Ensure the 7mm chain is properly attached to the designated end of the half coupling link. The other end is designed to couple with compatible fittings.

Compatibility: This component is specifically designed for use with 7mm chain. It is intended to connect with fittings that require a half coupling lock, such as coupling self-locking hooks and insulated swivels. Verify that any connecting fittings meet relevant safety standards and are compatible with Grade 80 lifting components.

Care: Inspect the link regularly for signs of wear, distortion, or damage. Clean with a damp cloth; avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the yellow finish or the underlying steel. Store in a dry environment when not in use to prevent corrosion. Ensure the load is within the specified Working Load Limit (WLL) and that the factor of safety is maintained.
