capacity without rupture.
The free end of the load chain shall be fitted with a chain end stop to prevent it from passing through
completely.
This end stop shall withstand without rupture 2,5 times the static chain tensile force at rated capacity.

Breakage test (BT in table 7 to 12)

unfavourable position of the lifting medium with a static load of 4 times the rated capacity
If, after 10 minutes, the lifting equipment is still holding the test load , the test result shall be considered
satisfactory.
Static test

than 20 t for at least 10 minutes Dynamic Test:1,1 times the rated capacity. Functional test :Lifting equipment
works at rated capacity.
End stop static test:With the braking system deactivated and the end stop in contact with the housing the test
load shall be held even if permanent deformation occurs

capacity which sha ll be raised and lowered through a height of between 250 mm and 500 mm.
