A total system designed to save you time and money.

TOTAL FLEXIBILITY. No matter what your chain sling needs. you can assemble the right chain sling for every job quickly and easily right in your plant with the HA-800 system. No special ordering. No delays. No unnecessary costs. No special tools or special assembly skills. And no sacrifice of strength; the custom chain slings you assemble with Herc-Alloy 800 attachments are just as dependable as factory assembled units.

TOTAL QUALITY. CM's Herc-Alloy 800 System incorporates many advanced engineering and design features. all developed to provide outstanding user benefits - most importantly cost savings.

For fast. economical, on-the-job chain sling assembly. use:

HAMMERLOK. Coupling Links. Used around the world since 1955. Refer to index under The Clevlok System for assembly instructions, and for details and specifications refer to Accessories under the index.

CLEVLOK Hooks. Features a simple clevis device. single retaining pin is easily inserted or removed with standard tools. Oval load pin fits only the correct chain size. fitting the contour of the chain link, and rotates freely within the round pin hole to reduce chain wear The short clevis slot helps eliminate pin bending. Clevlok hooks are lighter and less bulky than comparable assemblies, and easier to remove from beneath loads. Available with either engineered Cradle Grab or sling hook bodies; see Hooks under in the index for details and specifications. For assembly instructions, see The Clevlok System.

SELECTING THE CORRECT CHAIN SLING.

1. Determine the weight and configuration of the load to be lifted.

2. Determine the type of chain sling required (see Welded Chain Slings) according to No.1, above.

3. Using the working load limits* shown, determine the size of body chain required.

4. Consult Hooks, Links and Rings, and Accessories to determine the matched components and accessories needed to complete the sling.

5. Determine the length of chain needed, using the chart under Clevlok Chain Sling Measurements, lengths required for slings of 5 ft. reach; This is a variable, affected by chain size and attachments used.

* The "working load limit" is the maximum load in pounds which should ever be applied to chain, even when chain is new, and when 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.
