William Hackett Hack8 Grade 8 Three leg Chain Sling Assembly – 3.1t-67t WLL

Description

Hack8 Three Leg Chain Sling

The Hack8 Grade 8 Three Leg Chain Sling Assembly is a professional multi-leg lifting solution engineered for safe, stable, and controlled lifting of large or irregular loads in demanding industrial environments. Designed, manufactured, tested, and certified in the United Kingdom by William Hackett, this heavy-duty chain sling assembly delivers exceptional reliability, load control, and compliance for critical lifting operations.

Three leg chain slings are widely used in multi-point lifting applications where enhanced load stability and balanced weight distribution are essential. The three-leg configuration allows the load to be stabilised across multiple attachment points, reducing load swing and improving control during lifting and positioning tasks. This makes the Hack8 sling particularly suitable for handling fabricated steelwork, heavy machinery, modular assemblies, pipework systems, precast concrete sections, and industrial equipment.

Each Hack8 sling assembly is custom manufactured to order, ensuring complete compatibility with cranes, hoists, lifting beams, spreader beams, and specialist rigging systems.

Custom-Made Three Leg Chain Slings for Industrial Lifting

Every Hack8 three leg chain sling is individually configured to meet the exact operational requirements of the lifting application. This bespoke manufacturing approach enables operators to specify the ideal sling arrangement for complex or specialist lifting tasks.

Customisation options include:

• Chain diameters from 7mm to 32mm
• Working Load Limits up to 67 tonnes
• Bespoke sling lengths
• Master links and sub-assemblies
• Shortening devices and grab hooks
• Self-locking safety hooks
• Foundry hooks and shackles
• Specialist end fittings on request

This flexibility allows the Hack8 sling to integrate seamlessly with a wide variety of lifting equipment and heavy lifting systems across industrial sectors.

Superior Load Stability for Complex Multi-Point Lifting

The three-leg sling configuration provides enhanced load control and stability during lifting operations involving uneven, oversized, or awkwardly shaped loads.

Key operational benefits include:

• Improved load distribution across multiple lifting points
• Reduced load swing during lifting and transport
• Enhanced stability for irregular or unbalanced loads
• Greater positioning accuracy during installation operations
• Increased lifting control for large industrial components

These advantages make the Hack8 three leg chain sling ideal for engineering projects, steel fabrication yards, offshore installations, heavy manufacturing facilities, ports, shipyards, and infrastructure projects.

Premium Grade 8 Alloy Steel Construction

Manufactured from high-strength Grade 8 alloy steel chain and components, the Hack8 sling assembly delivers exceptional durability, fatigue resistance, and tensile strength for demanding lifting applications.

Chain and fittings are designed and manufactured in accordance with:

• EN818-2
• EN1677-1
• ASTM A391/A391M
• EN818-4 chain sling assembly standards

The Grade 8 alloy steel construction provides:

• Excellent strength-to-weight performance
• High resistance to dynamic loading
• Long service life under repeated lifting cycles
• Enhanced wear and fatigue resistance
• Reliable performance in harsh industrial environments

This robust construction ensures dependable lifting performance across heavy-duty industrial and offshore operations.

RFID Traceability & Digital Inspection Management

Every Hack8 chain sling assembly is supplied with an integrated RFID chip fitted within the identification tag to support modern inspection and asset management systems.

Using the William Hackett App, users can instantly access:

• Product identification details
• Test certificates and conformity documentation
• Inspection records
• User instructions and safety information
• Digital compliance data

This RFID-enabled traceability system helps simplify LOLER inspections, improve asset tracking, and maintain accurate lifting equipment records across busy worksites.

Proof Tested & Certified for Critical Lifting Operations

All Hack8 three leg chain sling assemblies are proof load tested to 2.5 times their Working Load Limit and manufactured with a minimum 4:1 safety factor.

Working Load Limits vary depending on chain size and lifting angle, with capacities reaching up to 67 tonnes at lifting angles between 0° and 45°.

The sling maintains full rated lifting capacity within an operational temperature range of:

• –40°C to +200°C

This makes the Hack8 sling suitable for outdoor construction projects, offshore lifting, marine operations, and high-temperature industrial environments.

Each assembly is fully certified and supplied with conformity documentation to support safe and compliant lifting operations.
