WHAT IS THE ADVANTAGE OF A CHAIN SUSPENSION WHEN LIFTING? Chain suspensions can be configured very flexibly according to the load to be lifted. The variety of available components and WLL is high, so that a large number of lifting tasks can be solved with one suspension. For example, the chain of a suspension can be easily and safely extended or shortened with special components. This allows the length of the chain strands to be adapted to the shape or weight distribution or centre of gravity of the load. WHICH REQUIREMENTS DOES A CHAIN SUSPENSION HAVE TO FULFIL? Approval. The standards DIN...
