- User instructions
- Compliance documentation
This digital traceability system helps improve lifting equipment management, streamline LOLER inspection procedures, and maintain accurate site safety records.
Proof Tested & Certified for Critical Lifting Operations
Safety and compliance are central to the Hack8 lifting sling design. Every sling assembly is proof load tested to 2.5 times the Working Load Limit and manufactured with a minimum 4:1 safety factor.
The sling maintains full rated lifting capacity within an operational temperature range of:
- –40°C to +200°C
This makes the Hack8 chain sling suitable for:
- Outdoor construction projects
- Offshore lifting operations
- Heavy engineering environments
- High-temperature industrial applications
- Harsh weather conditions
Each sling is fully certified and supplied with the relevant conformity documentation to support safe lifting operations.
