Lashing Chains are indispensable securing tools in the fields of port logistics and heavy industry. Correct usage is the cornerstone of safety and the key to ensuring their service life. To mitigate risks arising from improper operation, please pay close attention to the following core precautions:
1. Strictly No Overloading: Know the Load Limit
Every chain is clearly marked with its Work Load Limit (WLL). Always verify this identification before use and absolutely prohibit overloaded use. Overloading is the primary cause of sudden chain failure and related safety incidents.2. Proper Securing, Prevent Damage
Avoid Kinks: Ensure the chain lies flat and straight during use. Strictly prohibit kinking or knotting, as this can severely damage the chain's internal structure and significantly reduce its strength.
Protect Edges: When the chain comes into contact with sharp edges of the cargo, it is mandatory to use professional edge protectors or padding for isolation to prevent the chain from being cut or excessively worn.
3. Proper Tensioning, Scientific Fixing
When using a tensioning device (ratchet), apply force evenly through the handle. Do not use extension pipes or other tools to apply excessive force violently. Overtightening creates stresses that far exceed the rated load, posing a potential threat to both the chain and the cargo.4. Routine Inspection and Proper Storage
Pre-use Inspection: Before each use, conduct a quick visual inspection of the chain, hooks, connecting links, and other components for any visible wear, deformation, cracks, or excessive corrosion.
Post-use Storage: After use, clean and dry the chain. Store it in a dry, well-ventilated place, away from corrosive chemicals.
Remembering these precautions is the best protection for your personal safety, cargo integrity, and equipment investment.
