This British Standard specifies requirements for 10 classes of drop forged or welded triangular link and its associated strap assembly for use as lifting attachments for packing cases. This British Standard deals with that part of the strap assembly which contains the turnover forming the housing for the link. When lifting on four links, these assemblies are suitable for loads up to 25 tonnes.
This British Standard also describes in Appendix A typical styles of attachment for strap assemblies.
