Key Features
  • Quality Assurance: Products are crafted with customer needs in mind, using high-quality materials from certified suppliers.
  • Availability: Green Pin® products have a 99% stock availability worldwide, supported by over 900 distributors in more than 90 countries.
  • Support: Offers comprehensive support including CAD drawings, a technical helpdesk, and technical training.
Product Specifications
  • Materials: Made from alloy steel (grades 80 and 100) and stainless steel (grade 50).
  • Load Definitions: Includes Working Load Limit (WLL), Proof Load (PL), Minimum Breaking Load (MBL), and Shock Load considerations.
  • Safety Factor: Generally 4:1, except for lifting eyes.
  • Temperature Range: Products have specified temperature ranges affecting WLL.
Certification and Testing
Certificates available include EN 10204 types 2.1, 2.2, 3.1, and CE declarations. Testing methods include visual inspection, material-specific inspection, proof load testing, and magnetic particle inspection.
Usage Guidelines
  • General Cautions: Use products under prescribed conditions, avoiding overloads and side loads.
  • Inspection: Regular inspections are required, at least every six months, more frequently under severe conditions.
  • Verification: Ensure compliance with order specifications and proper documentation before first use. Conduct visual inspections before each use.
Inspection and Maintenance of Slings
Slings should be inspected regularly, especially under severe conditions. They must be cleaned of oil, dirt, or rust before inspection. Avoid cleaning methods that damage the material. Inspections should cover the entire length of the sling to detect wear or damage. Replacement parts must comply with safety standards.
Handling and Lifting Procedures
Ensure the sling and load are checked for specific instructions, and the path is clear before lifting. The load's weight must be known to select the correct WLL sling. Consider the center of gravity to prevent tilting. Multi-leg slings should maintain angles within specified limits.
Connection and Symmetry
Slings are attached using end fittings like hooks. Ensure components are used for in-line loading only. The WLL assumes symmetrical loading, and deviations require engineering assessment or derating.
Safety and Storage
Follow ISO 12480-1 for safe lifting operations. Store slings on racks, not on the ground, and protect them from corrosion.
Limitations and Conversion Factors
Do not modify components as it may alter their properties. Consult Green Pin® for chemical exposure. Extreme temperatures require WLL adjustments.
Temperature and Load Limits
Temperature affects load limits, with reductions required above certain thresholds. Tables provide WLL for different chain grades and configurations.

General cautions and warnings All WLL’s indicated in this catalogue or in other Green Pin® literature or publications are only applicable to recently-supplied, new and unused products used under prescribed operating conditions. Any extreme circumstances or shock loading that occur during use must be taken into account when specifying the products to be used. The WLL should be applied in in-line lifting. Overloads must be avoided. Side loads should be avoided too, as the products are not designed for this purpose and the application of a side load may significantly decrease product life. The WLL...

Handling of the load • It is important to check the sling before lifting. Check if the manufacturer of the load indicates any specific instructions for the lifting of the load. Before starting the lift, make sure that the load is free to move and is not bolted down. Also check if no loose objects could fall down from the load. The path between the current location of the load and the new one must be free. • The weight of the load must be known in order to select a sling with the correct WLL. If the weight of the load is not marked, the information should be obtained from the consignment notes,...

The point of destination of the load should be prepared and should be adapted to the weight and shape of the load. The access to this site must be clear of any unnecessary obstacles and people. The load should be lowered carefully. Avoid trapping the sling beneath the load as this may cause damage to the load or sling. Before taking the tension off the sling legs, the load should be checked to ensure that it is properly supported and stable. The sling should be removed by hand and not with the lifting device. The load should not be rolled off the sling as this may damage the sling. When not in...
