Choosing Austlift lifting and restraint gear
Start with the load and the lift. Check the working load limit (WLL) or lashing capacity (LC) shown on each listing and the marking on the product, and never exceed it. Chain grade matters: Grade 100 is a higher grade than Grade 80, so for the same chain size it carries a higher working load limit, and G70 transport chain is listed for load restraint and recovery, so use G80 or G100 gear for lifting. Match hooks, links and slings so the whole assembly is rated for the lift, and use corner protectors on sharp edges.
Lifting and fall protection equipment should only be used by trained people, inspected before each use and used in line with the manufacturer's instructions, your site rules and your lift plan.
Always check the data sheet. Confirm the rated capacity, size and suitability for the application before you order.
