Steps to Properly Use Your 3/8″ x 20′ G70 Transport Chain:
1. **Inspect Your Chain:** Before every use, inspect the chain for any signs of wear, rust, or damage. Safety is paramount, so ensure that your chain is in pristine condition before proceeding.
2. **Determine Load Requirements:** Calculate the weight of your load and choose the appropriate transport chain. The 3/8″ x 20′ G70 chain is suitable for a wide range of applications, but always confirm that it can handle the load you’re securing.
3. **Secure Attachment Points:** Identify strong and secure attachment points on your cargo and the transportation equipment. Make sure the points are free from any debris or obstacles that might compromise the chain’s effectiveness.
4. **Properly Thread the Chain:** Pass the G70 chain through the designated attachment points, ensuring that it lays flat and isn’t twisted or tangled. This step is crucial to maintain the chain’s strength and integrity.
5. **Engage the Grab Hooks:** Use the grab hooks to connect the chain, ensuring a tight fit around your load. The grab hooks should be positioned to avoid side loading, which can reduce the chain’s strength.
6. **Apply Tension:** Use appropriate tensioning devices to tighten the chain securely around the load. This helps prevent shifting during transport and ensures your cargo remains stable.
7. **Regularly Check Tension:** Throughout your journey, periodically check the tension of the chain to make sure it hasn’t loosened. Re-tighten if necessary to maintain optimal security.
Remember, safety should always be your top priority. By following these steps and using the Transport Chains G70 NACM Long Link (3/8″ x 20′) from Columbus McKinnon, you can confidently transport your valuable cargo while adhering to industry best practices.
