Application advice
- Safety first when using emergency bolts.
- The place and manner in which the emergency link is used are important aspects that must be taken into account.
- And also the characteristics of the chain where the emergency link is applied must be taken into account for safety considerations
- For safe application, the Working Load Limit (WLL) must not be exceeded under any circumstances.
- The stated WLLs apply under straight load and static use and apply to new and unused products used under normal conditions
- Due to the effect of external factors such as wear and tear, weather influences, overloading, etc., regular inspection at least every 6 months is a requirement
- This according to the safety standards applicable in the country of use
- DX Emergency switches are not suitable for hoisting purposes and personal protection
Alternative
- In addition to galvanised emergency hooks, we also supply stainless steel (SS) emergency hooks for outdoor use or in damp locations.
- Another solution for connecting chains is the DX emergency link that requires the link to be pinched shut
