What must be on the tag for welded alloy steel chain slings?

• A. Size, grade, rated capacity, reach
• B. Size, grade, rated capacity and the manufacturer's name
• C. Size, grade, reach, length
• D. Size, material, rated capacity, manufacturer

Answer: (B)

The tag on welded alloy steel chain slings must identify size, grade, rated capacity, and the manufacturer’s name. Size and grade set the strength of the chain and, together, determine the working load limit for standard lifts. The rated capacity communicates the maximum load the sling is designed to carry safely when used in proper configurations. The manufacturer's name provides traceability for inspection, replacement, and verification against the original specifications. Reach or length and material alone don’t provide the precise strength designation and accountability needed for safe use, so they aren’t part of the required tag information.
