Advanced equipments for heavy lifting

Every day in the 21st century brings something new for various industries which increase the ease of operations; new equipment and upgrade of in use equipment. Similarly, the industries involved in lifting and shifting of heavy loads have been introduced with a lot of equipment by manufacturers and suppliers. Equipment like lifting tackles, manual and electric trolley hoist, chain pulley block and a few more advanced equipment that have increased ease of doing such heavy operations. Let’s see a few of some amazing equipment introduced by manufacturers in the 21st century for lifting and shifting heavy loads.

ElectricTrolley Hoist

Electric trolley hoists are one of the perfect equipment for carrying various goods. The product is extensively used in different sectors to carry various goods. The product is defect free and designed by expert electric trolley hoist manufacturers. But before buying it, you need to go through the various parameters like its efficiency of range and mode of working etc. Electric trolley hoist manufacturers various customization options so customers can get according to their needs.

Geared Trolley Hoist

Geared trolley hoist is an advanced part of the Electric Trolley Hoist. Geared trolley hoists can be controlled for speed , it can be increased and decreased as prepared by Geared Trolley Manufacturers. It is suitable for operations where loads are delicate and extra care is required while lifting and shifting. Geared Trolley Manufacturers can also modify it as per the requirement of customers.

Chain slings

Chain slings for lifting are one of the best equipment when we talk about lifting and hoisting. They are durable, temperature tolerant and cut resistant as compared to the nylon web slings. One can easily adjust it according to the need. They can be customized as well. Multiple chains can be added in chain slings as per the requirement of the operation.

Above mentioned equipments are the ones which has changed the whole process of handling heavy loads in industries. Manufacturers keep on investing in R&D to find new and advanced equipment for increasing effectiveness and efficiency of operations. For these kind of reliable, advanced and effective equipments one can contact Balbirsingh and sons, they are one of the leading suppliers of lifting and shifting equipment with experience of 60+ years and have been awarded several times for their services.

All about Chain Slings

Wire rope slings and Alloy steel chain slings  are one of the most common types of lifting slings used for lifting. They are used for lifting heavy items on work sites. When using a chain to build a sling the tolerance for chain is considered as its main building block of the sling.

Wire rope slings are available in one, two, three and four leg configurations. There are various components used in the making of chain sling some of them being head ring used at the top of the sling, chain connectors.
When using a chain sling it is important to make sure you are using the correct chain sling. The angle at which the load is lifted matters a lot. The wider the angle, lesser the working load limit.

 When used in rigorous material handling applications, chain can easily become corroded or worn. It is always mandatory to inspect the chain slings for defects on regular basis before using it to ensure safe lifting. If the chain corrodes it leads to the decreased strength of the chain.

Stretch or elongation are clear signs of overloading. A standard such as ASME B30.9 Slings links stretch or elongation as one of the reason a of removing wire rope slings, alloy steel chain slings from service.

The reason for corrosion are many, one of them being coming in contact with harsh chemicals, water or when it is used in tough environments.

Wear can happen only in part of the link that is in contact with another surface. There are two points where corrosion can occur majorly

 1) At the bearing points of interlink contact
 2) On the outsides of the chain

When the wire rope slings, Alloy steel chain slings or any kind of sling  gets corroded the next step is to determine how severe  the damage is and if the chain can still be safely used or not.

Generally surface corrosion can be removed by cleaning and oiling the chain.

So, while choosing a chain sling we should make sure to use one having high tensile strength as it has many advantages, they are strong, reliable, flexible and if taken proper care they can last long.

There are many rope slings manufacturers in India. Balbir Singh and sons are ISO & CE Certified Distributors and suppliers of high grade Usha Martin chain slings and Wire rope slings.
