In large -scale construction, chain slings are often used, which are operated together with lifting equipment, such as cranes and lifting mechanisms. Compared to a large number of other slings, cable and textile, which are also widely used in construction and other areas where it is necessary to raise and move heavy cargoes.
Nowadays, a large number of names of chains from various materials are produced, which allow a large extent to increase the carrying capacity of the equipment and shed the life of. Thanks to the use of various types of steel and alloys, chain slings are much easier than before, and practically do not differ from the cable, and the carrying capacity and endurance of the chains are much higher than the ropes.
Chain strings have many significant advantages compared to any other. One of the most important is a higher elasticity that allows you to use chains for transporting and loading goods of various types. Another important advantage is that even under the influence of very high loads they very rarely break. Under a load exceeding the maximum permissible, chain slings begin to deform in contrast to the cable strings, which begin to burst out steel branches alternately, they can be broken unnoticed, which greatly complicates the repair and timely replacement.
High -quality chain slings are made abroad. Unfortunately, in our country there are no industries that could make high -quality chain links to transport goods. In Russia, exciting devices that cling to the chain can be made and used, these are hooks, loops, carbines and other devices. When choosing chain slings, it is especially important to know what material they are made of and what characteristics have the characteristics of the carrying capacity, plasticity and resistance to various negative influences from a person and the environment. Their carrying capacity and durability will depend on which metal is used in the manufacture of links.
Large construction companies are very serious about the choice of lifting equipment without saving on its quality. But many small companies that have recently started their activities often save on such equipment that you cannot do.
