Load chain in manual chain hoist is one of the most critical parts of a hoist, the abuse that this chain receives can be the difference in a minor accident or a catastrophe, yet it is probably the most overlooked part of a hoist.
Load chain should be inspected daily, weld spatter, a nick, gouge, or stress can greatly reduce the capacity of the load chain. Please inspect your load chain and make sure you always make a safe lift.
When considering a hoist, ask if the manufacturer can produce test certs and metallurgical makeup or if they do independent testing as OZ Lifting does. After a chain failure you will want to work with a company that can walk back every step of the hoists manufacturing and rigging, OZ Lifting has this capability by the intense Quality Control we implement on every hoist

Some examples are twisting of the chain, disfigurement, deterioration by straining, usage, weathering and corrosion, rapid application of load or jerking applying excessive loads, and sharp corners cutting action.
Due to the crushing effect Grab Hooks have upon chain, the design factor of all assemblies must be reduced by 20% for Grab Hook applications.

To increase the corrosion resistance, our beam clamps are now plated using an EPA compliant zinc plating.
The OZ Lifting Products Beam Clamp is also made 100% made in the USA. From raw steel to final packaging.
Unlike our competitors, it features a fully welded box construction. We do not use press fit pins in our beam
clamps. We completely weld the support plates as well at the main load pin to the heavy duty side plates, this provides for exceptional
rigidity and strength.
We offer 1 ton though 10 ton. These Beam Clamps meet or exceed ASME standards (For use with manual or powered hoists).
