William Hackett Hack8 Grade 8 Four leg Chain Sling Assembly – 2m Standard Reach (3.1t to 67t WLL)

Description

The Hack8 Grade 8 Four Leg Chain Sling Assembly is a premium multi-leg lifting solution engineered to provide the highest level of load stability, control, and lifting capacity within the Hack8 chain sling range. Designed, manufactured, tested, and certified in the United Kingdom by William Hackett, this professional lifting sling is ideal for demanding heavy-duty lifting environments where safety, performance, and compliance are essential.

Four leg chain slings are typically used for large structural lifts, heavy machinery handling, precast concrete placement, modular assembly lifting, and complex fabrication movements, where distributing the load across four attachment points significantly improves balance and reduces the risk of load movement during lifting. This configuration is particularly beneficial when lifting wide or irregular loads requiring enhanced control and positioning accuracy.

Each Hack8 chain sling assembly is custom manufactured to order, allowing users to specify exact lifting requirements including chain diameter, working length, master link assembly, shortening clutches, and a wide range of versatile or specialist end fittings such as self-locking hooks, grab hooks, foundry hooks, or lifting shackles. This flexibility ensures seamless integration with cranes, lifting beams, gantries, and other rigging equipment.

Manufactured using high-strength Grade 8 alloy steel chain and components, Hack8 four leg slings provide an outstanding balance between tensile strength, fatigue resistance, and ductility, ensuring dependable performance during repeated heavy lifting cycles. Chain and components are designed and manufactured in accordance with EN818-2, EN1677-1, and ASTM A391/A391M standards, making them suitable for chain sling assemblies certified to EN818-4 lifting regulations.

Hack8 four leg chain slings are available in chain sizes ranging from 7 mm to 32 mm, offering working load limits from 3.1 tonnes up to 67 tonnes at lifting angles between 0? and 45?. Reduced capacities apply at wider lifting angles between 45? and 60?, ensuring safe and compliant lifting performance across a wide range of rigging configurations.

To support modern lifting inspection and asset management procedures, each sling is fitted with an integrated RFID identification tag. This chip enables instant digital access to product specifications, conformity certification, and safety documentation through the William Hackett App, improving traceability and simplifying equipment inspection routines across industrial lifting fleets.

All Hack8 chain sling assemblies are proof load tested to 2.5 times their working load limit and manufactured with a 4:1 safety factor, providing confidence during critical lifting operations. The sling maintains full rated capacity within an operational temperature range from ?40?C to +200?C, making it suitable for outdoor construction projects, offshore installations, marine environments, and high-temperature industrial processes.

With its customisable configuration, heavy-duty alloy steel construction, RFID-enabled traceability, and compliance with recognised international lifting standards, the Hack8 four leg chain sling assembly is a dependable solution for professional heavy lifting and complex rigging tasks.

Safety & User Instructions
Ensure all sling legs are evenly tensioned before lifting.
Confirm lifting angles are within safe working limits.
Inspect chain links, hooks, shortening devices, and master links for wear, distortion, or damage.
Avoid shock loading and uncontrolled load movement.
Never use lifting slings for lifting personnel.
Always follow relevant lifting regulations, risk assessments, and safe rigging procedures.
