#TuesdayTechTip - Always use trailer safety chains with the correct length and safety class - don’t forget to cross them underneath the trailer tongue. Never shorten chains by knotting or twisting them. Instead, safely secure excess chain length with tie wraps.

#TuesdayTechTip - The most important component on an alloy chain sling might not be the chain itself - it’s the identification tag.

Take a moment to verify that your sling tags are present and readable before use - a small check that plays a big role in safe lifting operations.

#TuesdayTechTip - A smaller sling angle creates greater tension on each sling leg. To be safe, always verify your sling angle and consult load charts before lifting.

#TuesdayTechTip - Every Peerless BTH device is carefully inspected prior to shipment to help ensure it meets our quality and performance standards.

But the process doesn’t stop there. Always inspect equipment before use to help maintain safe lifting operations.

#TuesdayTechTip - Weld integrity is critical in Below-the-Hook equipment.

All welding meets ANSI/AWS D14.1 requirements for procedures, qualifications, and inspection—helping ensure proper penetration, controlled heat input, and reduced risk of fatigue failure.

#TuesdayTechTip - Not all bails are created equal.

Flame cut bails can create sharp edges that wear quickly and damage the hook.

Peerless advantage = machined bails provide smoother contact, reduce wear, and support safer, more reliable lifting.

#TuesdayTechTip - Sling angle impacts WLL. As angles decrease, tension increases — reducing capacity.

Lower angle = higher tension = lower WLL

Always check load charts before lifting.

#TuesdayTechTip – Lifting Beam vs. Spreader Beam
They may sound similar but Lifting Beams and Spreader Beams serve different purposes—Don’t let terminology mix-ups lead to the wrong gear—know what your lift calls for!

#TuesdayTechTip - When lifting long, well-balanced loads, attach a rope or tag line to one or both of the ends of the load to help control movement. This will help stability while reducing the load's ability to spin or rock on the crane hook while being lifted or transferred.

#TuesdayTechTip - Corner Padding Saves Slings
Always pad sharp corners. Unprotected edges can damage or cut chain links, leading to dangerous failures.

#TuesdayTechTip - Grade 80 and 100 Alloy Chain are the only grades recommended for overhead lifting applications. Other Grades, such as Grade 70, 40, and 30 are not approved for overhead lifting.

#TuesdayTechTip: Proper fit is critical. Traction chains must match tire size to prevent damage or failure. Use the Peerless Tire Chain Finder to find the right fit.

#TuesdayTechTip - A missing or unreadable sling tag means missing critical information like WLL, size, and configuration. If the tag can’t be identified, the sling should not be used!

#TuesdayTechTip - Improve Safety & Ergonomics with Welded Handles! By using handles, riggers can safely grip the exterior of master links and reduce the risk of injuries when engaging hooks. Prioritizing safety starts with the right tools and best practices!
