OSHA Regulations are LAW.

-

• ASME rules are created by industry leading authorities. In a court

of law they can be just as binding as OSHA.

• Documents change considerably through the years and employers

must be aware of both OSHA and ASME regulations and
standards.

• When OSHA and ASME vary, it is prudent to follow the most

stringent to protect employees.

PERIODIC SLING INSPECTION
O.S.H.A. CODE OF FEDERAL REGULATIONS
29 CFR 1910:184

A THOROUGH PERIODIC INSPECTION of slings shall be performed by

a COMPETENT PERS.QJ designated by the employer and shall include
a thorough inspection for:

1. Wear
2. Deformation
3. Increase in length
4. Sharp transverse nicks and gouges (CHAIN)
5. Cuts
6. Corrosion
7. Heat Damage
8. Latches, if used, for proper seating, operation and distortion
9. Hooks for wear and distortion (Ref.ASME B30.1O)

In order to complete a THOROUGH PERIODIC INSPECTION, a chain sling

should be free from foreign matter.

ASME B30.9-1.9.3: PERIODIC INSPECTIONS

A complete inspection for damage of the sling shall be periodically performed by
a designated person. Each link and component shall be examined individually;
taking care to expose and examine all surfaces including inner link surfaces.

If cleaning is required use only NON-ACID or NON-CAUSTIC cleaning

products.

WRITTEN RECORDS MUST BE KEPT UNTIL NEXT PERIODIC INSPECTION

WELDED STEEL GRADED CHAIN DESIGNATION

• Standard grade designations are 30, 43, 70, 63, 80 and 100
• The Grade number equates to the strength level of the chain
• Higher grade numbers indicates higher strengths
• Grade identification is necessary to assure that the correct grade is selected for the
application.
c
Chain grades 63, 80 and 100 are called “ALLOY STEEL CHAIN”
Used for Overhead Lifting

• They contain additional steel alloying elements that result in higher strength and C
energy absorption properties that cannot be achieved with carbon steel.

• They have the ability to stretch a mm of 20% before rupture CM Chain can C
stretch well over 20% before rupture. NO amount of stretch is allowed. C
C
• Chain grades 30, 43 & 70 are termed “CARBON STEEL CHAIN”

(DO NOT USE FOR OVERHEAD LIFTING) C

C
Note:
WHEN USING CHAIN FOR OVERHEAD LIFTING, ONLY
ALLOY CHAIN IS ADVISED FOR USE.

Also called Proof Coil
This is a general purpose, unheatreated, low carbon
chain for industrial, agricultural, logging and load
securement applications.
NOT BE USED FOR OVERHEAD LIFTING

C
GRADE 43 CHAIN (
Embossing G43, plus date code
Also known as High Test
• A unheatreated carbon steel steel chain with
typically the same applications as Grade 30.
• Higher strength to weight ratio when compared to
Grade 30 resulting in a smaller diameter chain
with the same W.L.L.
• NOT TO BE USED FOR OVERHEAD LIFTING

GRADE 70 CHAIN
Embossing: G70
(CMUSA) Every link. Plus a 3 letter trace code
Also known as Transportation binder chain
A higher strength HEAT TREATED carbon steel chain
typically used by the trucking industry, loggers, and
highway crews.
Grade 70 chain Working Load Limits are
approximately 20% higher than Grade 43

Chain Sling Inspection

It is important to inspect chain slings regularly and to keep a record of all

chain inspections. Follow this guide for such an inspection system:

O Before inspecting, clean chain with a non-acid/non-caustic solvent so

that marks, nicks wear and other defects are visible.
o Inspect each link for these conditions:
O Twists & bends
O Nicks and gouges
o Excessive wear at bearing points
O Stretch
O Distorted or damaged master links, coupling links or attachments,
especially spread in throat opening or hooks
O Mark plainly with paint each link or attachments showing any of the
conditions listed here to indicate rejection; remove from service until
properly repaired.

Wire Breaks at Terminations

In destructive tests, wire rope slings
usually break where the rope enters
into the terminations.

Remove from service if you

find any breaks at
terminations.

Kinks I Dog Legs

• Wires need to slide or move to
make adjustments. They can not
move when there is a dog leg or
kink.

Internal wires in dog legs start to

fatigue in the inside because they
slide a lot less than the outside
wires.

• Caused by improper Did ratios or

bending around sharp corners.

Conclusions of WS&TDA-UV Testing

1. Polyester slings lost up to 30% breaking strength after 12 months of outside outdoor
exposure to sunlight. Strength loss leveled at 12 months and beyond.
2. Nylon web slings lost up to 50%-60% of breaking strength after 36 months of outdoor

1 Refer to the chart above in following these instructions. Turn back specified amount of
.

rope from thimble or loop. Apply first clip one base width from dead end of rope. Apply
U-bolt over dead end of wire rope live end rests in saddle. Tighten nuts evenly, alternate
-

from one nut to the other until reaching the recommended torque.
2. When two clips are required, apply the second clip as near the thimble or loop as
possible. Tighten nuts evenly, alternating until reaching the recommended torque. When
more than two clips are required, apply the second clip as near the loop or thimble as
possible, turn nuts on second clip firmly, but do not tighten. Proceed to Step 3.
3. When three or more clips are required, space additional clips equally between the first
two take up rope slack tighten nuts on each U-bolt evenly, alternating from one nut to
- -

the other until reaching the recommended torque.

4.Apply an initial load equal to loads expected in use. Inspect for proper orientation and
spacing of clips and retighten the nuts to recommended torque.

1. Dead end wire rope tail length should be at least 6 rope diameters, but
not less than 6 inches beyond the wedge socket. Figure 1.
2. Apply U-bolt and first saddle on dead end rope and the second saddle
on live end rope. Install nuts. Figure 1 & 2
3. Position the dual saddle clip so that 3 to 4 inches of dead end rope
remain beyond the clip. Figures 1 & 2.
4. Tighten nuts evenly. Alternate tightening each nut until reaching the
required torque specified. Figure 2.
5. Check that clip does not pinch or clamp the live wire rope. Apply an
initial test load equal to the loads expected in regular use. Be certain
rope is secured properly in the wedge socket prior to any use.
6. Inspect for proper rope alignment with wedge socket and retighten the
nuts to the specified torque.

Frequency of inspections defined as two general classes

1. Frequent Inspection

Visual inspections performed by the operator or other designated personnel and

“To be performed daily to monthly and prior to each use”.

THIS IS YOUR PRE-OPERATIONAL CHECK

(NO RECORDS)

2. Periodic Inspection
Are visual inspections “To be performed every three months to
annually” by an appointed person who records conditions to provide a
basis for continuing evaluations of the hoist.

L] RECORDS MUST BE KEPT AND RETAINED

yearly depending on the type of service.

There are three types of service:

1. Normal Service
2. Heavy Service
3. Severe Service

CHAIN INSPECTION

• All chain used in CMCO HOISTS are made

specifically for our hoist.
NO other chain will meet the required
dimensions to operate safely or correctly in our
lift wheels.
• Chain may climb out of pockets if pitch is not
correct. When in need of chain it must come
from Budgit, CM, Coffing or Yale Hoist.

LOAD CHAIN MUST

NEVER COME IN
CONTACT WITH THE
LOAD BEING LIFTED.

NOTE:
Worn chain can be an indication of warn hoist components. For this
reason, the chain guides, hook block and lift wheel should be
examined for wear and replaced as necessary when replacing worn

to check chain for wear or elongation

2. Select an unworn and unstretched length of
chain (eg. At the loose end of the chain) the
number of links selected must be an odd

TO 24” (610mm) IN LENGTH.
3. Measure the gauge length of the unworn and

4. Measure the same number of links in a used
section of the load chain.

CHAIN LUBRICATION

U A small amount of lubricant will greatly

increase the life of the load chain.
U Do not allow the chain to run dry. Keep it
clean and lubricate at regular intervals
U Lubricate bar and chain oil 1O-r or
equal lubricant.
U Normal, weekly cleaning and lubrication is
satisfactory
U Under hot and dirty conditions it may be
necessary to clean the chain at least once
a day and lubricate it several times
between cleanings
