norbertflyer Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 Be very very careful here, would recommend going back to your Paramotor supplier and ensure they're the correct 2 kilotonne rating items. Cheap alternatives may prove very dangerous. Good chandlers supply the proper 2kt versions. Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norbertflyer Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 http://www.paynesmarine.com/documents/A ... sories.pdf Wichard was the make I last used and are 2 tonne rated (1 tonne each). Hope this helps. Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adriane Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Go careful - I may be wrong but.... If you have 2 x 1 tonne links then if at the ultimate worst you put a 2 tonne force on in a turn then one is going to fail as you will only have 1 tonne rating each side rather than 2 tonnes either side. Someone correct me if i'm wrong. I think they are called shackles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil_P Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 And just for future reference, the ratings are in kN (kilo Newtons) or Tonnes (alright, one is mass and the other is force, but in our application they are pretty interchangeable. (sorry, pedantic autistic side coming out) Oh, and they are called 'D' shackles. And if we assume a pretty hefty 200kg weight of pilot, motor etc, we would have to be executing a 5G manoeuvre to reach the max. safe working load of a single 10kN shackle (1 tonne). Even then, this is likely to be way below the likely failure limit which is probably 1.5 to 2 times the safe working limit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irm750 Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 I know from buying lifting strops that properly placarded and rated items like this are tested to 7x the rated value, so plenty of safety margin! Ian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
