Features and Benefits

In Safety Lies Strength.

Lifting chains in G100 quality – benefits that outweigh the rest. pewag is among the world’s best manufacturers of lifting chains for a good reason, as our products are the result of a responsible development process that focuses on user-friendliness and safety. These features are clearly measurable in pewag’s KWB brand where only the best results count!

• Additional safety feature compared to shortening claws, thus reducing risks resulting from improperly attached chains of our shortening hooks.

pewag’s KWB alloy chains are tested to a 25% higher standard! pewag G10/Grade 100 meets the EN-818 Standard that pull tests to 2.5 times the WLL, whereas the US standards only require pull testing to 2 times the WLL.

• Compatible with our G8/Grade 80 range – used slings are easy to repair. NOTE: Grade 100 components may be used to repair Grade 80, but not at an increased load capacity!

• 25% higher load capacity compared to Grade 80.

• Simplified handling thanks to a 30% weight reduction.

• Attractive price/performance ratio thanks to the small price differential compared to Grade 80.

• Easier and faster annual inspection as fewer components are used.

• pewag is the first to offer parallel hooks with 100% load capacity – shortening of the sling chain does not require a reduction in load caused by shear effect of the hook!

• Three assembly systems of slings: welded, Connex and Clevis system.

• Pioneer: pewag was the first to sell G10/Grade100 lifting chains, thus have a wealth of experience in this field.

• Quality-approved European production by an ISO 9001 certified company.

• Worldwide distribution network – smooth supply of spare and replacement parts.

• Quality grade stamp KWB chain links are marked “KWB 10” at a spacing of approximately 12 inches on sizes up to 1/2”, and every 36 inches on chain 5/8” and larger. Additionally, “10” is marked on on the back of each link.

• One dimension smaller than Grade 80 slings, for many load ranges – thus providing excellent value.

• Extended service life due to higher wear resistance.

• Code on chain and component ensures traceability of

all manufacturing data.

• High-visibility violet powder-coating for simple visual identification of our G10/Grade 100.

• Large range of components in special G10/Grade 100 quality – for 6 chain dimensions.

• Fastest and simplest assembly of slings thanks to GTVK/S set with unique shortening element.

GT/S / Enlarged Quad Leg Master Link Assembly This master link assembly for Triple and Quad Leg chain slings in assembled or welded systems. Consists of an A/S Master Link and two B/S Transition Links. A flattened section on the transition links opens up additional, universal connection possibilities (measurements can be obtained from the product “B/S”). Thanks to the use of T/S Enlarged Master Links, this master link assembly has larger inside dimensions than the G/S Quad Leg Master Link Assembly and can thus also be used for the next size up crane hooks.

Safe by name, safe by nature – this hook closes and locks automatically, which means that it cannot open when under load.It is perfect in combination with the Connex system and also offers additional, universal connection options thanks to the flattened section on the eye. As it comes with a wider jaw opening than HS/S, it may be used much more flexibly.

G10/Grade 100 User Information General information and safety- specific information on usage, storage, inspection and maintenance of pewag lifting equipment.

General information Like many other pewag quality products, the KWB chain system stands out for its versatility and flexible application modes when it comes to lifting loads. Prior to use, a qualified person must determine whether the equipment is suitable for the intended application. If in doubt, please consult pewag directly. All information on the area of application is based on EN 818-6.

All information on the assembly of chain slings and their load capacity refers without exception to the standard method of rating (Uniform Load) with the angle ranges 90°-45° and 45-30°.

There is also an alternative method in existence for rating the product load capacity, for which the specific application scenario of the chain and all operating conditions must be known. In such a case, please contact the pewag Technical Service team, as the information contained in the catalogues does not apply to such processes. KWB lifting chains may only be adjusted, inspected and serviced by qualified personnel.

Responsibility is key If pewag lifting accessories are used correctly and by qualified persons, it will be a long lifespan and provide the highest possible safety standards. Material and personal damage can be avoided by reading this user information carefully and handling all lifting processes in a responsible, prudent manner.

Changes to the condition as delivered Modifying the original condition of the lifting accessories by bending, grinding, removal of parts, welding, drilling, stamping etc. means exposing yourself and others to unnecessary danger.

In such a case, safety can no longer be guaranteed and usage becomes dangerous. Such potentially hazardous modifications include heating the SA/S Star Alloy G100 lifting chain to a temperature of more than 400°F and/or removing safety parts such as safety pins, sleeves, catches etc. Do not apply any surface coatings to the KWB chain system, i.e. do not subject products to hot galvanizing or electrogalvanizing. Dipping or removing a coating with chemicals are potentially dangerous processes that may give rise to hazards. We urgently recommend customers to check with the pewag technical team first.

18

Assembly of chain slings SA/S Star Alloy G100 chain and accessories may only be assembled by qualified persons using exclusively original parts contained in the scope of delivery, i.e. bolts, safety pins, etc.

As SA/S Star Alloy G100 chain and components have only limited compatibility with chains and components of other suppliers, each individual case where SA/S Star Alloy G100 chain and system parts are combined with components from other suppliers and/or parts made from other grades must be assessed by a qualified person. Please note that pewag accepts no liability for damage resulting from such combinations. Please ensure that the load capacity is based on the weakest link in the assembly during every application. Labeling and/or color-coding help prevent situations where the load capacity is misjudged – for pewag, this is a key safety factor!

To ensure safe identification, SA/S Star Alloy G100 lifting chain must be labelled with a purpose built load capacity tag. This tag may only be used if the load capacity of the chain corresponds to the tables on page 5. In situations where the load capacities are different due to combinations with products of other suppliers, this must be highlighted with a different tag (for instance round-shaped).

Restrictions of use For hazardous or dangerous conditions, please refer to the table on page 5.

Temperature effects The information on page 5 lists the load reduction values in case of extreme temperatures. These values apply until the chain and/or the components have returned to room temperature.

KWB lifting equipment must not be used outside the indicated temperature range! If this has been the case, the chains must be removed from service.

Exposure to acids, caustic solutions or chemicals SA/S Star Alloy G100 lifting accessories must not be used in acids or caustic solutions or be exposed to their vapours.

Please be aware of this requirement at all times as certain production processes release acids and/or vapours! If the use of SA/S Star Alloy G100 lifting accessories with highly concentrated chemicals in combination with high temperatures cannot be avoided, please make sure to obtain the express approval of such usage by a pewag expert.

Hazardous conditions The working load limits in this catalogue have been determined on the basis that the product is not being used in hazardous conditions. Hazardous conditions are present when lifting accessories are used offshore or for the lifting of persons or potentially dangerous goods such as liquid metal, corrosive or caustic substances or nuclear material. If lifting accessories is to be used for such purposes, the extent of the risk is to be assessed by an expert, the load capacity must be adjusted accordingly and incorrect usage in hazardous conditions must be avoided at all cost. As a rule, usage in hazardous conditions should be avoided.

• Deformation of suspension or sling parts or the chain itself • Elongation of the chain resulting in t >1.05 tn • Wear as determined by the mean value of two

measurements of diameters d1 and d2 carried out at a right angle as shown (fig. 1).

The chain must be replaced when any of the following conditions apply: dm = d1 + d 2 < 0.9 dn

Prevention is better than the cure!

Before using any lifting accessory, several inspections must be performed:

• Does the lifting chain correspond to the order?

• Has the inspection certificate or certificate of conformity

been supplied?

• Do the markings and load capacities stated on the chain sling correspond to the information given on the inspection certificate or certificate of conformity?

• Have all the particularities of the chain sling been entered into a register of lifting equipment, if required?

• Has the operating manual outlining the correct use of the chain sling been supplied and read and understood by all personnel?

Please check the lifting accessories for visible signs of damage or wear prior to each use. In case of any doubt or damage, do not use the chain slings and have them inspected by a qualified person.

Inspections by a qualified person must be performed in accordance with national legislation, but at least once every 12 months. If the chain sling is frequently used at its full load capacity, more frequent inspections are required! Please note that the chain sling must also be inspected after unusual events, for instance uncontrolled exposure to heat, overloading or collision.

We recommend subjecting the chain sling to a load capacity test with 2 times the load capacity every two years, followed by a visual inspection, or another type of crack test.

Visual inspection criteria If at least one of the criteria listed below manifests itself during the visual inspection, all parts must be removed from service.

• Breakage of a component • Illegible or missing marking of the chain sling

(i.e. information on identification data and/or load capacity)

fig. 1

• Visible damage such as cuts, notches, grooves, surface cracks, discolouration due to excessive heat exposure, signs of subsequent welding, bent or twisted links or other flaws.

• Cracks and cross-cracks that are visible to the naked eye.

• Missing or non-functional safety device as well as signs

of widening or twisting of hooks, i.e. noticeable enlargement of the opening or other forms of deformation. The critical point is reached when the enlargement of the opening exceeds 10% of the nominal value. If the safety latch is open, this indicates that the hook is overloaded.

Correct maintenance Please note that all maintenance activities of KWB lifting accessories must be handled by qualified persons! Only KWB spare parts may be used to minimise the risk of improper use.

Precise documentation All inspections and their results must be recorded and these records be kept throughout the service life of the chain slings.

Precise records of this sort constitute the best basis for effective maintenance.

Clean storage KWB lifting chains must always be stored in a clean and dried condition and protected against corrosion, i.e. slightly lubricated

Correct use of chain slings To ensure safe handling, the slinging points and chain sling types must be selected in such a way that the angles of inclination of all chain strands (legs) lie within the data given on the load capacity tag. Preferably, all angles of inclination should be the same. Avoid angles of inclination greater than 75° because of the high risk of load instability. Never use chain slings with the angle of inclination below 30°!

Edge-loading – know your limits The maximum load capacity of KWB chain slings assumes that the individual chain legs are pulled straight under load, i.e. that they do not run over edges. However, if edge-loading is unavoidable, load protection (packing) should be used to avoid damage (see illustration):

20

If chains are guided over edges without proper protection, their load capacity is significantly reduced and safe usage can no longer be guaranteed. See the tables on page 5 for the corresponding load factors. Where chain has to be looped around beams or other round-shaped loads, the diameter should be at least twice or 3 times the chain pitch.

• Medium impact may result from the chain slipping while adjusting itself to the shape of the load • Strong impact results for instance from the load falling into the unloaded chain Vibrations If they are used correctly, KWB lifting chains and accessories withstand high load cycles. pewag products come with a standard rating of 20,000 load cycles. However, in case of high dynamic loads there is a risk of damage to the chain or chain components.

The Trade Association Metall Nord Süd recommends reducing stress at WLL by using a larger nominal thickness/ size in such a case.

Symmetrical loading For the load capacities of pewag winner pro lifting chains to apply, it is assumed that the individual chain strands are placed under load symmetrically.

Precautions

When the load is lifted, this results in equal angles of inclination and the individual strands are symmetrical to each other.

The load may be considered symmetrical when all of the following conditions apply:

• Before using several chain slings at the same time, make sure that the crane hook is big enough for all the master rings. Make sure that the master rings cannot fall out of the hook during lifting.

• The load is less than 80% of the indicated load capacity • The angles of inclination of all chain strands are not

greater than 75° and are very similar (i.e. only differ by a maximum of 15°)

• For three - and four- stranded lifting chains, it must be ensured that the corresponding plan angles are within 15° of each other

• Hang any individual strands (leg) that you are not using back into the master link to prevent hazards caused by freely swinging chains or unintended hooking.

• Angles of inclination of more than 45° must be avoided.

• Use only chain slings of the same nominal thickness

and grade at the same time.

Additional detailed information Never tip-load the hook!

The main part of the load is carried by just one leg

The main part of the load is carried by two legs

Be Careful!

If not all of these parameters are complied with, the load cannot be considered symmetrical and the classification of the lifting operation must be left to an expert. In case of doubt, only one chain strand (leg) should be considered as load-bearing. For the corresponding load capacity values, please refer to the load capacity table on page 5.

Wrongful use defeats the purpose KWB lifting chains offer perfect quality standards if they are used according to their intended purpose. In cases where not all individual legs are used simultaneously or where several lifting chains are used at the same time, different load capacities apply as outlined in the tables on page 5. In case of doubt regarding the intended purpose, the load capacity as indicated on the tag must be amended in accordance with the following table: Type of sling chain
