1 Description and Intended Use
THIELE Special sling components are intended for the usage in chain sling
assemblies according to EN 818-4 for special transportation requirements.
These Mounting Instructions describes the safety use of following components:
THIELE Ringshackles TWN 0812 and TWN 1812 are fixed to chain leg ends
to be connected to other components.
THIELE Master Links with clevis TWN 0820 and TWN 1819
chain leg ends to be connected to other components or to carry a hook.
A sling hook with clevis of the same size can be pulled through the notch to
provide a sling for a choke hitch.
THIELE Swivels TWN 0845 are intended to be used within a chain leg to
avoid harmful twisting. Turn back has to be done under un-load conditions.
THIELE Balancers TWN 0882 are intended to enable a smooth load
spreading within two chain legs.
THIELE Key Hooks TWN 0892 are part of multi-leg chain sling assemblies
only intended to lift metal covering plates narrow to the floor.
THIELE components meet EG Machinery Directive 2006/42/EG requirements
and feature a safety factor of at least 4 based on the Working Load Limit
(WLL).
They are signed with the corresponding chain size, grade, manufacturers mark
(e.g. stamp 'H4') and identification number.
THIELE components are designed to withstand 20,000 dynamic load changes
under maximum load conditions. In the event of higher loads (e.g. multi-
shift/automatic operation) the Working Load Limit must be reduced.
Components must exclusively be used

within the limits of their permissible Working Load Limit,

for permissible attachment methods and inclination angles,

within the temperature limits prescribed,

with suitable connecting links or attachment components,

by trained and authorized persons.
As a rule, components are not permitted for the transportation of
persons.
Ringshackles TWN 0812 and TWN 1812 as well as swivels TWN 0845 may be
used in lashing chain assemblies according to EN 12195.
An alternating use for lifting and lashing is not allowed.
