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

Description

The Hack8 Grade 8 Three Leg Chain Sling Assembly is a high-performance lifting solution designed to deliver superior load stability, control, and safety when handling large or irregular loads. Designed, manufactured, tested, and certified in the United Kingdom by William Hackett, this professional chain sling assembly is built for demanding lifting environments where reliability and compliance are essential.

Three leg chain slings are commonly used in multi-point lifting operations, allowing loads to be stabilised across three attachment points. This configuration is particularly beneficial when lifting fabricated structures, heavy machinery, pipework assemblies, modular components, and precast concrete elements, where load distribution and control are critical to safe handling.

Each Hack8 sling assembly is custom manufactured to order, enabling users to specify exact requirements including chain size, working length, master link configuration, shortening devices, and specialist end fittings such as self-locking hooks, grab hooks, foundry hooks, or lifting shackles. This flexibility ensures compatibility with a wide range of cranes, hoists, lifting beams, and rigging hardware.

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

Working load limits vary depending on chain diameter and lifting angle. Hack8 three leg slings are available in chain sizes ranging from 7 mm to 32 mm, with lifting capacities reaching up to 67 tonnes at lifting angles between 0? and 45?, providing powerful load handling capability for heavy industrial applications. Reduced capacities apply at wider lifting angles, ensuring safe and compliant operation.

To support modern asset management and inspection processes, every Hack8 sling is fitted with an integrated RFID chip within the identification tag. This technology enables instant digital access to product data, conformity certification, and safety documentation via the William Hackett App, improving traceability and simplifying inspection record keeping across 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, delivering confidence during critical lifting tasks. The sling maintains full rated capacity within an operational temperature range of ?40?C to +200?C, making it suitable for outdoor projects, marine environments, and high-temperature industrial settings.

With its customisable configuration, robust alloy steel construction, RFID traceability, and compliance with recognised lifting standards, the Hack8 three leg chain sling assembly offers a dependable solution for complex lifting and rigging operations.

Safety & User Instructions
Always ensure even load distribution across all sling legs before lifting.
Confirm lifting angles are within safe working limits.
Inspect chain links, master links, hooks, and fittings for damage or wear prior to use.
Avoid shock loading and sudden load movement.
Never use lifting slings for lifting personnel.
Follow all applicable lifting regulations and safe rigging procedures.
