Herc-alloy 800 Chain System
A stronger cost saving chain system

CM Grade 80 Herc Alloy 800 welded and mechanical chain slings and attachments are manufactured from special analysis alloy steel, engineered for a superior combination of strength, lightness and durability. These qualities give the Herc-Alloy 800 system higher working load limits and longer life than conventional alloy chain products, and make it easier to handle.
All Herc-Alloy 800 chain and attachments are black finish and/or color coded Classic Red for easy, permanent identification. The chain is embossed approximately every 10 inches with the make (CM) and grade (HA-800) appearing alternately.
Before shipment, all CM Herc-Alloy 800 welded chain slings undergo a succession of demanding quality control checks. Every sling is proof tested, registered, and guaranteed for one year to be free from defects in materials and workmanship. A durable metal tag attached to the sling permanently identifies the grade, type, working load limit (at a specific angle of lift) and registration number of the sling.

HOW TO SELECT AND ORDER THE PROPER WELDED CHAIN SLING

1. DETERMINE THE WEIGHT AND CONFIGURATION OF THE LOAD(S) TO BE LIFTED.
2. Determine the TYPE of chain sling required (See index under Welded Chain Slings), according to weight and configuration.
In describing the type the following symbols should be used. If attachments are other than standard give detailed specifications.

First symbol (basic type)

S - Single chain sling.
C - Single Choker chain sling with a standard
end link on each end, no hooks.
D - Double branch chain sling.
T - Triple branch chain sling.
Q - Quadruple branch chain sling.

Second symbol (type of master link or end link)

O - Oblong master link of standard dimensions.
P - Pear-shaped master link (available on request, not a standard item)

Third symbol (type of hook)
S - Sling hook
G - Grab hook
F - Foundry hook
L - Latchlok

3. Determine the SIZE of body chain according to the working load limits* under Welded Chain Slings which are highlighted in red. Be sure to take into consideration the effect of the required angle.
* Working Load Limit: The "working load limit" is the maximum load in pounds which should ever be applied to chain, even when chain is new, and when the load is uniformly applied in direct tension to a straight length of chain.

CAUTION: Serious damage to a chain may occur when a force exceeding the working load limit is applied to a chain or chain assembly. These working load limits should not be exceeded.

4. Determine the REACH required to give the desired angle. The reach is measured from the upper bearing surface of the master link to the bearing surface of the lower attachment.
If chain slings are to be used in pairs and are to be matched for reach, please indicate when ordering.

5. Be sure to specify TYPE, SIZE and REACH when ordering chain slings. For specifications on additional hooks, attachments and accessories, see index for Hooks, Links and Rings, and Accessories.
Mechanical chain sling ordering information found in the index under The Clevlok System.
