Features and benefits of pewag • Broad range of components in special grade 10 quality – for
11 chain dimensions.
lifting chains in G10 quality • Fastest and simplest assembly of slings thanks to VXKW set
with unique shortening element.
User friendlyness and safety are based on clearly defined and
measurable characteristics, which are incorporated in the pro- • Avoiding danger through improperly shortened chains – an
duct development and production process of our products. additional saftey feature of our shortening hooks.
• 25% higher load capacity than grade 8. • Easier daily/annual inspection – easier and faster in compari-
son to grade 8, because fewer components are in use.

• Compatibility:
pewag winner chains and components may be combined by
a competent person under consideration of the manufacturer
specifications with all components of Grad 80 meeting the re-
quirements of EN 818 and EN 1677. Furthermore, the pewag
winner chains may be combined with all competitors chains
and components, being compatible with EN 818 and EN
1677 qualified items. Only original pewag spare parts (esp.
pins and bolts, safety catches, etc.) may be used for pewag
articles. The maximum working load capacity of pewag sling
chains is always defined by their weakest part.
The competent person has to check and approve the func-
tionality of the chain sling (in consequence, it is not allowed
to combine winner chains with competitors items that follow
neither the EN 818 nor the EN 1677 requirements).

you can downsize to a smaller chain dimension thus obvious-

2 Repair
pewag lifting accessories and chain slings should only be
repaired by qualified personnel using genuine pewag parts.
Documentation
Records of inspections, and in particular their findings, as well
as details of repairs carried out must be kept on file during the
entire service life of the chain sling.
Storage
pewag sling chains should be stored in cleaned and dried con-
dition and protected from corrosion, e.g. lightly lubricated.
