KUPLEX® chain slings
Restrictions on the angle of use
|
Variation of chain sling leg loading with
leg angle for a load of 10t.
 |
|
KUPLEX 8+10 Master Links have an angle guide forged onto them.
If the sling angles are on or inside the guidelines the sling is within the angle range 0° < b £ 45°, as specified in the load chart.

|
All multi-leg chain slings exert a horizontal component of force, which increases as the angle from the vertical becomes greater.
No chain sling should be used if the angle from the vertical exceeds 60°, as beyond this point the forces in the legs drastically increase.
DO NOT USE MULTI-LEG CHAIN SLINGS AT ANGLES WITHIN THE SHADED AREA.
Angles of less than 15° should also be avoided as these can lead to the load becoming unstable.
