Hoe je ketens kunt matchen, Kranen, and Load Requirements in Modern Lifting Operations
In any lifting task—whether industrial, magazijngebaseerd, or on construction sites—safety starts with the right components. Een van de meest kritische, en vaak verkeerd begrepen, factors in material handling is the chain working load. Selecting the wrong chain can lead to equipment failure, injury, or property damage.
At Hebei Zoho Hoisting Machinery Manufacturing Co., Ltd., we manufacture and supply lifting chains, portable floor cranes, en small lifting cranes, all designed with safety, prestatie, and reliability in mind.
What Is Chain Working Load?
De chain working load (also known as working load limit or WLL) refers to the maximum amount of weight that a lifting chain can safely handle during routine operation. It is calculated based on:
- Material strength
- Chain diameter
- Design factor for safety margins
- Intended application and usage conditions
This value is not the breaking point, but the recommended safe operating limit, typically at one-third or one-fourth of the minimum breaking strength.
Why Working Load Matters in Crane Operations
Both portable floor cranes en small lifting cranes rely on lifting chains to manage vertical loads. Using a chain with insufficient working load capacity can cause:
- Chain deformation or fracture
- Load dropping and uncontrolled descent
- Crane damage and long-term reliability issues
To avoid this, chains must always match or exceed the rated load capacity of the crane they are attached to.
Matching the Chain to the Crane
When selecting a chain for use with a portable floor crane of kleine hijskraan, consider:
- Load capacity of the crane (bijv. 500kg, 1 ton, 2 ton)
- Lift height and frequency of use
- Omgevingsfactoren like heat, moisture, or corrosive conditions
- Chain grade (bijv. G80, G100 for heavy-duty lifting)
Ons high-strength lifting chains at Zoho Hoist are engineered for compatibility with all standard and custom crane systems. Whether you’re lifting machinery in a factory or cargo in a warehouse, we ensure chain integrity and certification come standard.
