Sling SelectionThe following factors should be considered before making a selection:

1. Load mass2. Headroom3. Type of load steel, shipping containers, timber, fabricated

sections or vessels4. Length of sling5. Method of slinging6. Environmental elements such as corrosion or heat

Calculation of Working Load LimitThe sling chart details the working load limit for each size.

GeometryThe geometry of the sling is the number of chain legs of multi-legslings and the angles between the legs and vertical. Angles shouldbe assessed as shown in the figures below. When calculatingangles the apex of the angles should not include the length of theoblong link or master link.

Multi -Leg SlingsThe WLL of slings comprising two or more legs shall not be morethan the calculated WLL of the sling while it is supporting the loadwith two of its legs having a symmetrical configuration with anincluded angle between the two legs of 60. The included angleshall never be greater than 120.

CHAIN SLINGS

Headroom & Special Slinging MethodsUse of lifting beams or spreader beams assists in overcomingheadroom problems and these can be purpose built by Nobles to comply with all relevant standards and regulations.

Any special method of use should be approved and tested in themanner in which it is to be used.

Endless SlingsAn endless sling shall never have a working load limit greaterthan 1.5 times the WLL of a single leg sling.

Reeved SlingsIn the examples shown the WLL shall not be greater than 0.75times the WLL of the chain to which it is attached.

Adjustable Slings Using Shortening ClutchesNobles can incorporate shortening clutches into all slingassemblies rendering them adjustable.

Shortening clutches in multi-leg slings will adjust the leg lengthbut care must be taken to ensure that no one leg is overloaded as a result. Bear in mind that if the legs are not equally disposedabout vertical, the leg making the smallest angle to the verticalwill carry a larger share of the load.

Shortening clutches are the preferred devices for adjusting leglength as they maintain the correct in line loading of the chain so that the rating is not affected.

Some grab hooks that lock onto a link of the chain for thispurpose require a 25% deration. Cradle grab hooks, which fullysupport the chain link, do not require a deration.

ProtectionSpecial loads also may require protection and Nobles can providevarious means to protect loads from marking or damage duringlifting.

WARNING Shortening clutches MUST be used correctly with the load

bearing chain always leading out from the bottom of theclutch. (See illustrations for correct and incorrect usage.)

WARNING The swivel function on Swivel Self-Locking hooks is for

positioning only. The hook is not designed to rotate under load.

Chain Slings

WARNING Lifting equipment should be inspected before each use.

The pre-use inspection for chain slings should take note ofthe following:1. Clean sling before inspection.

2. Ensure the sling is correctly tagged and certified.

3. Every chain link should be individually inspected for any signsof wear, twisting, stretching, nicks, gouging, heat damage,chemical attack or excessive corrosion.

Examine all Chain Links

4. Any worn links should be measured to determine the degreeof wear, which should not exceed 10% in any plane.

5. Upper and lower terminal links, hooks, etc. should beinspected for any signs of distortion, e.g. widening of anyhook throat opening.

6. Connecting links or chain connectors should be inspected forany signs of wear at their load-bearing points and for anyexcessive play of the load pin.

7. Wear may be tolerated until the thickness of any worn sectionhas been reduced by 10% of the nominal section in anyplane.

Look for Chain Stretch

Check for wear at Bearing Surfaces

8. Chain links or fittings having any defects should be clearlymarked to indicate rejection, and the sling should bewithdrawn from service until properly repaired.

9. Slings with damaged fittings may be repaired by replacing the fittings but the entire chain assembly must be proof loadtested before being returned to service. Any damaged chainmust be destroyed.

1. The operator should establish the weight of the load to belifted as accurately as possible.

2. Ensure that the crane or other lifting equipment and thelifting points are adequate to lift the load.

3. Prepare the site where the load is to be landed in advance.Ensure that the sling is not trapped by the load in such a waythat removal of the sling cannot be made by hand.

4. Check compatibility of the chain sling to the crane hook andthe lifting points on the load.

5. Ensure the chain is free from twists and is protected from anysharp corners on the load.

6. Ensure the load is evenly distributed on all sling legs. This can be facilitated through the use of shortening hooks.

7. When using a choke hitch, the bite should be allowed toassume its own position.

8. Commence the lift slowly, taking up the slack gradually.

9. Care must be taken to ensure that the load remains stablethroughout the lift.

10. A trial lift should be made prior to the full lift operation. If the load is not balanced it should be lowered and the slings re-positioned.

11. Sling hooks of a multi-leg sling should be positioned so thatthey face outward from the load.

Inspection Before Use Care In Use

WARNING Chain Slings should always be used in line with good lifting and

rigging practice and as per the manufacturers recommendations. Incorrect Chain Sling use could result in a dangerous situation

that could cause property damage, serious injury or death.

CHAIN SLINGS

WARNING Grade T Chain Slings should not be used in acid solutions,

exposed to acid fumes or other corrosive environments.

HeatAs the temperature which a sling attains in-service increases, its strength decreases. Care must be taken to account for the maximum temperature that can be reached by thesling in service.

Temperature of Sling Strength of Sling

Up to 200C Nominal Strength of rating

200C - 300C 90% of strength rating

300C - 400C 75% of strength rating

Over 400C DO NOT USE

Note: The use of a sling within these temperature ranges does not imply any permanentreduction in strength when the sling is returned to normal temperatures. If slings areaccidentally exposed to temperatures indicated in excess of the maximum permissibletemperatures indicated above, they should be withdrawn from service and returned to A. Noble & Son Ltd for inspection, testing and or repair or replacement.

Storage & Handling Chain slings should be kept on a properly designed rack

in a clean, dry place.

Lightly oil slings before any prolonged storage.

Never heat or heat-treat slings.

A. Noble & Son Ltd. Is a leading manufacturer of Grade T chain slings in Australia. Nobles chain slings are manufactured to comply with Australian Standard 3775 and all chain slingsmanufactured by Nobles are fully proof tested to twice the WLL.

The Grade T alloy steel chain is manufactured to AustralianStandard 2321 Short Link Chain for Lifting Purposes. This chain is electrically welded, fully heat treated and tested at manufacture. Testing incorporates non-destructive (proof) testing for the entire chain and destructive type (breaking load and elongation) tests on selected samples.

Nobles Grade T components comply to AS 3776 LiftingComponents For Grade T Chain Slings.

Nine of Nobles branches throughout Australia are NATA AccreditedTesting Laboratories with facilities to carry out proof anddestruction type testing of chain and chain sling components.

Nobles chains may be supplied with the following markings T, 8, 80 or 800.

Working Load Limit (WLL) is the maximum load that can besupported by a sling under general conditions of use.

General conditions of use are equivalent to a group classificationof crane mechanisms of M3 as specified in AS 1418.1.

Under other than general conditions of use (e.g. severeconditions, hazardous conditions involving safety of personnel),the WLL shall be derated to conform to the group classifications ofcrane mechanisms as specified in AS 1418.1 for conditions of usethat apply.

(a) Endless Slings - The WLL of endless chain slings shall be notmore that 1.5 times the WLL of the chain.

(b) Non-vertically orientated leg of a sling - The WLL of anon-vertically orientated leg of a sling shall allow for itsinclination to the vertical.

(c) Adjustable Slings - The WLL of adjustable chain slings shall be as follows:

(i) Where a special purpose hook (e.g. a shortening clutch)that fully supports the chain link and attains a 100%efficiency is used, the WLL shall be not morethan the WLL of the chain to which it is attached.

(ii) Where (i) above does not apply, the WLL shall be not more than 0.75 times the WLL of the chain to which it is attached.

(d) Multi Leg Slings - The WLL of multi-leg slings shall be as follows:

(i) The WLL of a multi leg sling assembly with more thantwo legs shall not exceed that for the sling with onlytwo of its legs used with an included angle of 60between these two legs. That is, the WLL of multi legsings comprising more than two legs shall be not morethan the WLL of the sling used as a two-leg sling.

(ii) Where a sling is not symmetrically loaded, the WLLshall be based on an included angle equal to twice thelargest angle from the vertical.

(iii) The WLL for a multi leg sling having an included angleof 60 between the legs is the maximum WLL for thesling and shall not be exceeded, even where theincluded angle between the legs is less than 60.

(iv) Under no circumstances shall the included anglebetween the legs of a multi leg sling be allowed toexceed 120.

Chains stamped VIP are manufacturedwith tighter tolerances in the inner width.Also they are permanently powder coatedwith a fluorescent pink colour. A foolproofchain connection is ensured due to thespecial fork head design.

BG-Approved (German StatutoryAuthority)The BG awarded for the RUD SpecialQuality VIP is stamped in short distanceson the links. H1 indicates manufacturersnumber 1 = RUD and 8S or 10 meaninggrade 10 or 100.

Quality VerificationAt regular intervals chains are stampedwith the serial number and the batchnumber. This identification guarantees acontinuous record of manufacturing andproof data, for a period of 10 years.

Higher WLL25% more than the existing Grade 8 or 80.

RUD VIP is made from CrNiMo-special steel, which is quenchedand tempered to produce unique characteristics of high toughnessand minimum ultimate elongation for natural black 25%, surfacetreated 20%. VIP is less sensitive to notching and hydrogenembrittlement than Grade 8 or 80. The bending test, according toDIN or EN standards is far exceeded by VIP.

The high quality VIP chains and components have a duplexsurface protection. Due to the two stages, i.e. pretreatment andpink powder coating, a considerably better surface protection isobtained compared to normal zinc plating.

Overheating IndicationThe special fluorescent pink powder coating permanently changescolour at increased temperatures. Colour black signifies anapplication at more than 400 C. The chain should not be used atthis high temperature. If the coating starts to bubble replace VIP-chains or return them to Nobles for repair.

The special fluorescent pink powder coating permanentlyhighlights the maximum temperature at which the VIP-chain hasbeen used.

Other FeaturesGeometric construction and tolerances of VIP-chains are adaptedto a higher quality class.

All RUD-VIP chains and components are electromagnetically cracktested and are also subjected to cyclic testing (20,000 cycles) at1.5 times the WLL.

On request the super corrosion coating Corrud DS can besupplied. This coating is 20 times more red rust resistant thanzinc plating.

VIP-Identification tag with integrated Testing GaugeSimple examination of the chain condition (wear and elongation)can be undertaken using the VIP-identification tag.

WARNING If RUD VIP chain turns black further use is prohibited.

VIP LIFTING CHAIN

The RUD fork head system ensures a foolproof connection of thecorrect component to the correct nominal VIP chain size.

Dim. X avoids connection of a larger VIP chain. VIP stampedchains are manufactured with tighter tolerances in the inner width(dim. W1). Dim. Y avoids the connection of the next smaller VIP chain.

Result:Only VIP chains and components having the same working loadcan be used. VIP chains 8S or 10 can only be connected with VIPcomponents 8S or 10.

The enlarged hook tip prevents misuse. Wear edges on both sidesof the hook protect against abrasion of the chain when draggingchain assemblies along the ground. Gauge marks on the hookenable easy inspection for any deformation of the hook.

VIP VAGH (S) Self-Locking HookThe extremely robust and proven design ensures the hookautomatically locks when lifting the load. It can only be opened byactivating the protected unlocking lever on the back of the hook.The VIP Self-Locking Hook also features a non protruding hooktip, and large mouth width. Wearing edges (dimension B) on both

sides of the hook protect the chain against abrasion when theassembly is dragged along the ground. Safety latch spare parts are available on demand.

VIP VWH Foundry HookThe VIP Foundry Hook has a considerably larger mouth width thanthe Cobra Hook. Foundry Hooks do not have a safety catch and assuch they should only be used where unintentional hooking isimpossible. Do not use for overhead lifting and when using

foundry hooks, special attention must be paid and a riskassessment carried out prior to use. The robust cross section(dimensions G and C) is resistant against increased lateral forces,with specially designed wearing edges to protect the chain link.
