This single-leg chain sling is constructed using Grade 8 alloy steel chain and components, designed to handle lifting capacities ranging from 2 tonnes to 8.2 tonnes. Whether used in construction, offshore, manufacturing, or general rigging operations, this product ensures optimal performance and safety. Gunnebo’s renowned yellow-painted components provide not only a signature appearance but also enhanced visibility and corrosion resistance in challenging conditions.

Components Overview:

• Master Link MF: This top fitting includes an engineered flat, making it compatible with a wide range of crane hooks and lifting points. It provides a strong and secure top connection for multi-leg slings.
• One Chain Leg: Made from high-quality Grade 8 alloy steel chain, specifically selected for strength, flexibility, and long service life under load.
• Safety Hook BKG or Safety Hook EGKN on Each Leg: A self-locking hook that automatically secures once the load is applied, preventing accidental disengagement during lifting or lowering operations.
• Optional Grab Hook OG:  For use with a Grade 8 Chain Sling.  No reduction of Working Load Limit, thanks to supporting lugs on either side of hook to prevent chain link deformation.

Key Features and Benefits:

• Compliance with Global Standards: The Gunnebo Grade 8 Chain Sling Single Leg with Safety Hook BKG is manufactured in strict accordance with EN 1677:2008, ISO 8539:2009, ASTM A952/A952M, and AS 3776:2015. This ensures its compatibility and acceptance in both domestic and international markets.
• High Strength & Safety Factor: The sling assembly boasts a 4:1 design factor, ensuring a robust safety margin. This factor means the sling is tested to withstand four times the working load limit, offering users confidence in high-stakes environments.
• Grade 8 Performance: Grade 8 alloy steel offers an optimal balance of strength and flexibility, making it ideal for lifting heavy loads while maintaining durability under stress. The chain and components exceed standard lifting performance expectations, ensuring longevity and reliability.
• Customisation Flexibility: Gunnebo offers this sling in a variety of configurations. While this specific product is a single-leg assembly, chain slings are also available in 2-leg, 3-leg, and 4-leg arrangements. This makes the Gunnebo chain sling range highly adaptable to different lifting scenarios, load shapes, and working environments.
• Easy Inspection and Maintenance: Each component is designed for simple inspection and maintenance. Gunnebo slings can be quickly assessed for wear, deformation, or corrosion, helping maintain a safe lifting environment and simplifying regulatory compliance.
• Identification Tag: All Gunnebo chain slings are delivered with a marked identification tag. This tag displays the manufacturer’s name or trademark, chain grade, nominal chain size, number of legs, rated load, hitch types used, and the angle upon which the WLL (Working Load Limit) is based. This information supports efficient traceability, safety verification, and usage compliance.

Best Practice Application:
To maximise the service life and maintain the safety of your Gunnebo Grade 8 Chain Sling Single Leg with Safety Hook BKG, it is essential to:

• Determine the maximum load before selecting the sling.
• Account for the load shape and lifting angle.
• Measure the reach from the master link’s bearing point to the hook’s bearing point accurately.
• Use matching chain links and components for even load distribution.

Always refer to the sling’s ID tag before use.

Gunnebo’s commitment to safety and innovation ensures that this chain sling will meet the rigorous demands of modern lifting operations. Whether you’re lifting machinery, shipping containers, or structural elements, the Gunnebo Grade 8 Chain Sling Single Leg with Safety Hook BKG delivers the strength and reliability professionals depend on.
