3 added value Gunnebo ifting GrabiQ The all-inclusive chain sling system for coupling, shortening and lifting in grade 0. Our GrabiQ sling system is designed to improve and make your lifting as quick and easy as possible. GrabiQ means for example; 25 % additional strength in the new grade 0 material. All top assemblies consist of no more than three components. Shortening function of chain legs is integral with no extra components. One of the main merits of the GrabiQ system is that the work involved in connecting, adjusting and checking the lift takes less time and can be carried out more easily. The already included shortening function, for example, means that a four-part sling which previously required up to thirteen different top components now needs only three in the GrabiQ system. The German erufsgenossenschaften (G) launched in the beginning of 2004 a new specification for Grade 0 components, Gunnebo has passed this new specification as one of the first companies in the world. Gunnebo ifting continues to find solutions to well-known problems with the latest innovative products launched in the GrabiQ range. One of the fundamental ideas of the products in the GrabiQ range is that the option of shortening a chain leg should always be available in order to avoid incorrect loading when lifting asymmetrical loads. A natural development in this spirit is one of the most interesting ideas this year, the MIG Midgrab shortener that makes it possible to adjust and shorten a chain leg quickly and easily on any position of the chain leg. The MIG Midgrab shortener is also a vital component in the Gunnebo ifting newly developed load securing system which meets and exceeds the requirements of the latest European Standard EN In the new Flexieg concept, the possibilities with the C-coupling components with QuickPin are used to imise and increase the flexibility and to reduce the number of chain legs and components. Further the newly developed Flexieg ID-tag gives additional important information to the user of the lifting assembly. Another innovation this year is the MFS masterlink which with it s unique shape has been designed to fit large crane hooks according to DIN540. The slim design of the MFS means that the weight has been reduced considerably compared to, for example, MFX/MTX. The upgrading of components from the Gunnebo ifting - Classic range continues. From now on well known components such as the MT - Masterlink, G - Coupling link, GK - Griplatch hook, K/KK - Swivel safety hook, OKE - Foundry hook, GG - Grab hook and the GC- C hook is also available in the GrabiQ range. 3-D CAD files available on 3

4 added value Versatile The Midgrab allows instant mounting, positioning and shortening on any part of the chain. uilt in shortening function in the connector. The option of shortening is always there. Every chain leg can instantly be altered from straight lift to a loop sling by using the shortening pocket. With C-lok as terminal fitting the sling can be altered between choke hitch, basket hitch and leg extension with flattened links. Oversized or squared shaped master links are ideal for use with large crane hooks (e.g. DIN540). With the flexibility of the GrabiQ system a number of different lifting situations can be solved using the same GrabiQ sling. The C-parts are designed to allow for correct size of wire rope thimble to be fitted into the eye. This opens the way for new ideal combinations of chain and wire rope slings. 4

5 added value GrabiQ Flexieg (Pat. pending) y using the unique features of the GrabiQ range, Gunnebo ifting has increased the flexibility even further. GrabiQ Flexieg is a flexible solution with instant leg shift, where one single master link and a combination of five legs replace ten legs with the traditional system. QuickPin - For flexible exchange of sling legs. - Instant close/open function - Fits all GrabiQ C-connectors Traditional system a total of 0 legs GrabiQ Flexieg a total of 5 legs ID tag in stainless steel, special designed for the GrabiQ Flexieg system. The backside contains info about the sling manufacture and users reg. number. Foolproof The GrabiQ system has been designed with special care so that it should be easy to use correctly. All clevis type connections are snugly matched to the correct size of chain and pin dimension, thereby eliminating any incorrect assembly. All GrabiQ components are uniformly marked with the equivalent chain size, grade, traceability code, manufacturers name and designation, for positive identification. oad Alt. A oad Alt. The roundsling hooks are colour coded in order to match the corresponding size of the roundsling. Red=5T / Yellow=3T/Green=2T/Violet=T. With the following GrabiQ design the outgoing chains from the shortening pocket are allowed on either side for loading, thereby eliminating misuse. The GrabiQ shortening components fulfil the new requirements from G, Germany. 5

6 added value Mastergrab single type MG and duo type MGD have the same length, which allow for equal leg length if they are united in the top end into a common shackle or crane hook. With two extra chain links, C and CD will have the same effective length as CG and CGD. Economical Traditional solution GrabiQ The cost for a product or complete lifting equipment can not only be isolated to the time of purchase, the total cost during the entire lifecycle must also be taken into consideration. 4-legs Due to the radical reengineering which GrabiQ offers, the total cost can be reduced! ow can that be possible?

7 safe use Information for safe use and maintenance The following information aims to give advice and explain the most common questions in order to ensure safe and proper use of lifting equipment. It is of utmost importance that this information is known to the user, and in accordance with the Machinery Directive 98/37/EC this information must be delivered to the customer.

It is essential that the W for each single component of the sling should never be exceeded. For further information contact your Gunnebo ifting dealer. Extreme temperature conditions The in service temperature of the G8+ chain and G0 components affects the W as follows. Temp. of sling ( C) Reduction of W -40 to 200 None +200 to 300 0% +300 to % Upon return to normal temperature, the sling reverts to it s full capacity within the above temperature range. Chain slings should not be used above or below these temperatures. For chain grade 0 the imum in service temperature is 200 C. Surface treatment Note! ot-dip galvanizing or plating is not allowed outside the control of the manufacturer. Asymmetric loading conditions For unequally loaded chain legs we recommend that the W are determinated as follows. 2-leg slings calculated as the corresponding -leg sling 3 and 4-leg slings calculated as the corresponding -leg sling. (If it is certain that 2-legs are equally carrying the major part of the load, it can be calculated as the corresponding 2-leg sling.) Severe environment Chain and components must not be used in alkaline (>p0) or acidic conditions (<p6). Comprehensive and regular examination must be carried out when used in severe or corrosive inducing environments. In uncertain situations consult your Gunnebo ifting dealer. General advice Ensure that the sling is precisely as ordered Ensure that the manufacturers certificate is in order. Ensure that the identification and the W on the ID-tag corresponds to the information on the certificate. (The following ID-tag information is compulsory: W, Number of chain legs, nominal size (mm), individual ID mark, manufacturer, CE marking and year of manufacturing. Ensure that the full details of the chain sling is recorded. Ensure that the staff using the chain sling have received the appropriate information and training. Protect yourself and others efore each use the chain sling should be checked for obvious damage or deterioration. Know the weight of the load, the centre of gravity and ensure it is ready to move and no obstacles will obstruct the lift. Check the conformity of the load with the W of the ID tag for the specific working configuration. Never use a sling without a legible valid ID tag! Prepare the landing site. Never overload a sling and avoid shock loading Never use an improper sling configuration. Never use a worn out or damaged sling Never ride on the load. Never go under a suspended load. Take into consideration that the load may swing or rotate Watch your feet and fingers while loading / unloading. 7

8 safe use Method of connection A chain sling is usually attached to the load and the crane by means of terminal fittings such as hooks, links, etc. Chain should be without twists or knots. The lifting point should be seated well down in the terminal fitting, never on the point or wedged in the opening. The terminal fitting should be free to incline in any direction. The chain may be passed under or through the load to form a choke hitch or basket hitch, the chain should be allowed to assume it s natural angle and should not be hammered down. Where choke hitch is employed the W of the chain sling should be no more than 80% of that marked. Use edge protection to prevent sharp edges from damaging the lifting equipment. A rule of thumb is that the radius of the edge >2 x chain diameter. When lifting with chain directly on lugs we recommend that the lug diameter > 3 x the pitch of the chain. With a lug, diameter which is less than stipulated above, the W must be reduced with 50%. ome pocket loop shall have an internal loop top angle of. 30. Rule of thumb: Cross dimension of the load shall be. 0,3 times the loop length () Maintenance Periodic thorough examination must be carried out at least every 2 months or more frequently according to statutory regulations, type of use and past experience.. Overloaded chain slings must be taken out of service. 2. Chain and components incl. load pins which has been damaged, deformed, elongated, bent or showing signs of cracks or gauges shall be replaced. Grind of small, sharp cuts and burrs. Additional testing by magnetic particle inspection and/or proof loading at. 2 x W may be carried out. 3. Check the function of latches, triggers and retaining pins / bushes, replace when necessary. Always use Gunnebo ifting original spare parts. 4. Max. clearance between hook and latch. Note: For a Griplatch hook measure the difference between measure A with unloaded spring and measure A when the latch is pressed against the hook, clearance not applicable. Size Max. A (mm). Max.
