Peerless Chain

#TuesdayTechTip - When lifting steel plates, sheets, or bundles using a plate hook sling assembly with a 60° angle to the load, note that the back of the hook will not maintain full contact with the side of the load. The shoe or foot is manufactured with a slight upward angle that be reflected between the back of the hook and the load. There will be a sling angle away from the load when engaged properly. #peerlesschain #welovechain

Our Peerless and Harrington brands are proudly represented at the AD North American Meeting in Chicago, Illinois. There’s nothing better than coming together with our fellow AD members to exchange ideas, build strong connections, and strengthen our partnerships. #Harrington #Peerless #ADNAM #Innovation #BuildingConnections

#TuesdayTechTip - When assembling Alloy Plate Hook Chain Slings, it is recommended that the sling be manufactured with adjusters on each leg. The rigger can then form an equilateral triangle with 60° angels to the load. Three and four leg assemblies must be assembled onto a master link assembly with sub links. The sling should be made to the length of the widest flange width that can be adjusted to lift thinner sheets or plates. #peerlesschain #welovechain

#TuesdayTechTip - Standard Peerless plate hooks are engineered to lift at a 60° +/- 5° angle to the load. This will ensure full engagement of the shoe or foot onto the load to provide a safe and level lift. If, for reasons such as limited headroom, the plate hooks must be designed to lift at a different angle, then a Peerless custom plate hook can be engineered and manufactured.

#TuesdayTechTip – Edge Guards provide two critical benefits - they protect the securement device from damage, and they distribute the tie down forces over a greater area. Load such as wood may appear to not require protection but a 2,000 Lbs. force against the edge can cut a synthetic strap. #peerlesschain #welovechain

We are excited to announce that, together with our valued business partners, friends, and family, we have raised $50,800 toward our goal of $75,000 for the Children of Fallen Patriots Foundation this fall. From now through October 31, Kito Crosby is donating $500 for every Crosby, Harrington, Peerless Chain, and Acco Material Handling Solutions training event we host in the US to the Fallen Patriots. There is still time to become a company sponsor or make a private donation. Please visit https://hubs.li/Q02RXgsd0 for more information on how you can help support this worthy cause. #liftingforthetroops #fallenpatriots

It's traction season and we believe great customer service starts with hands-on experience. Our Customer Service team is gearing up by gaining additional skills and knowledge needed to provide exceptional support. #TractionSeasonReady #peerlesschain #tirechains #kitocrosby

#TuesdayTechTip – The efficiency of a Direct Tie Down device securing a load at an angle of 60° to the trailer deck is 50%. The securement point on the trailer should be located at a distance to provide the lowest angle possible. A Direct Tie Down load secured at 30° will have an efficiency of 86%. #peerlesschain #welovechain
