How to avoid knotting of chain slings during lifting operations

Chain rigging is often used in lifting operations. Chain rigging is simple to use, flexible and versatile, and has good load-bearing performance. It mainly consists of connecting rings, butterfly buckles, chains, and hooks. Due to various reasons, the chain rigging may become tangled and twisted during lifting operations, which affects the safety of the lifting operation and the normal use of the chain rigging. How to avoid knotting of chain and rigging during lifting operations?

In lifting operations, if the chain of the chain rigging is knotted or twisted, if not corrected in time and continued to be used, it can cause the chain to break and heavy objects to fall, resulting in serious safety accidents. Therefore, the use of chain rigging must be handled with caution. Before use, check the chain. If there are any knots or twists, make sure to straighten them out before use; When fixing the suspension, it is necessary to avoid cross contact between the chains, and the selection of suspension positions should ensure that they do not affect each other; During the transportation process, try to lift the heavy object smoothly to avoid the instability of the center of gravity causing the heavy object to rotate, which can also cause the chain to become entangled and twisted; After use, the chain should be straightened and hung for storage. Random stacking can also cause the chain to knot and entangle, and may also damage the chain links, reducing the safety index of equipment use.

Before carrying out lifting operations, it is necessary to tidy up the chain to ensure that there are no knots in the chain. During the lifting process, follow the required specifications to ensure the normal construction safety of the chain rigging.
