The Grade 100 RAPID®-Shortening Claws TWN 1852/1 are used to adjust the strand lengths of chain slings and lashing chains. Due to the double claws, the RAPID® shortening claws can be universally integrated to existing chain strands without permanently mounting them into the chain sling. A roll pin lock supplied enables the shortening claws to be installed firmly and captively in a sling.
The shortening claws have been tested in interaction with the sling chains. The chain pockets ensure a tight fit of the inserted chain link. The safety bolt enables the use in lashing chains according to DIN EN 12195-3. RAPID®-Shortening Claws can be installed quickly and subsequently in chain sling and lashing chains without tools.
The manufacturing and testing requirements correspond to the ASTM A952/A952M, ISO 8539, DIN EN 1677-1 and DIN 5692, under consideration of Grade 100 working load limits.
