The working load limit (WLL) of BroadWeigh shackles assumes the absence of exceptionally hazardous conditions.
These include offshore activities and lifting of potentially dangerous loads such as molten metals. With every use
the degree of hazard should be assessed by a competent person and the safe working load (SWL) reduced
accordingly from the working load limit.
Please remember that BroadWeigh does not give advice as to how the data from BroadWeigh shackles is used.
All lifting operations are different and must be supervised by suitably qualified and experienced riggers. It is the
user's responsibility to ensure conformity with local regulations and legislation.
BroadWeigh requires that the integrator fully assess product suitability as part of any control system and that
BroadWeigh products are used within their published parameters at all time.
BroadWeigh shackle assemblies are subjected to a 150 % proof load (static test coefficient of 1.5) before being
calibrated, however the product should never be used above the WLL. If the WLL is exceeded the unit should be
removed from use and a BroadWeigh representative contacted
