Wholesale G80 Four-leg chain rigging set Manufacturers, Suppliers

A "four-leg chain rigging set" is a multi-leg sling used for heavy lifting operations.

Product Description

Main Components and Features
1. Four-Legs

This rigging consists of four lifting chains of equal or unequal lengths. It is typically used to lift heavy objects with unstable centers of gravity or that require four support points. Compared to single- or double-leg rigging, four-leg rigging provides more stable lifting balance and a higher safe working load.

2. Chain

The main load-bearing part of the rigging is generally made of high-strength alloy steel chain, such as the most common G80 grade or the higher grade G100. Chain's advantages include durability, high temperature resistance, and wear resistance, making it suitable for harsh industrial environments.

3. Complete Sling Assembly

This refers to a complete, pre-configured lifting tool. Its main components include:

  • Top Connector (Upper Ring): Typically a strong ring (such as a main ring or a parent-child ring) used to connect to the crane hook.
  • Four Chains (Legs): Connect the main ring to the bottom hook.
  • Bottom Connector (Hook): Connects the load being hoisted. Common examples include eye-type self-locking hooks, clevis hooks, and grab hooks.
  • Connectors: Connecting links or pins used to connect the chain to the main ring and hook.

Applications and Advantages

Applications: Widely used in lifting molds, heavy machinery, steel structures, and large containers.

Safety: Utilizing G80/G100 high-strength materials and a multi-leg design, it offers a high safety factor and reliable load-bearing capabilities.

Stability: The four-point load-bearing mechanism effectively controls the load's position, preventing rotation and tilting.

Precautions for Use

Lifting Angle: The working load of a four-leg chain sling decreases dramatically as the lifting angle (the angle between the legs and the vertical) increases. Before use, be sure to consult the sling's load table to ensure that the load at the actual lifting angle does not exceed its safe working load (WLL).

Chain Length: Ensure that all four chain legs are evenly loaded during lifting.

Regular Inspection: Regularly inspect the chain for deformation, cracks, wear, corrosion, and ensure that the connectors are intact to ensure safe use.

Safe Lifting Practices
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the advantages of a four-leg chain sling over a single-leg one?
A four-leg sling provides significantly better balance and stability, especially for large or irregularly shaped loads. It also offers a higher safe working load capacity by distributing the weight across four points.
How does the lifting angle affect the safe working load?
As the angle between the vertical and the chain leg increases, the tension on each leg increases. This reduces the total weight the sling can safely lift. Always refer to a load capacity chart before operation.
What is the difference between G80 and G100 chains?
G100 chains offer approximately 25% higher strength-to-weight ratio than G80 chains, allowing for lighter rigging setups for the same lifting capacity.
How often should I inspect my lifting chains?
A visual inspection should be performed before every lift. A thorough, documented inspection by a competent person should be conducted at least every 6 to 12 months, depending on the frequency of use and severity of the environment.
Can these slings be used in high-temperature environments?
Yes, high-strength alloy steel chains (G80/G100) are highly resistant to heat. However, their load capacity may be derated if used in extremely high temperatures (above 200°C/400°F). Always check the manufacturer's specifications.
What should I do if I find a small crack in one of the chain links?
If any deformation, cracks, or significant wear is found, the sling must be removed from service immediately and either destroyed or repaired by a certified professional.
