Lifting Chains

Tracking, Compliance and Safety: No More Gaps on Critical Equipment

Slings, chains, shackles, lifting hooks, clamps… these lifting accessories are everywhere in nuclear operations.

Yet their management is often manual, fragmented, and unreliable.
They may look like “small” items — but any defect, lost traceability, or missed inspection can have major consequences.

Common field issues

• Slings not identified or with illegible markings
• Unclear compliance status or overdue inspection dates
• SECT checks not recorded or inspection sheets misplaced
• No evidence of assignment or use
• No global view of sling fleet status (in stock, in service, scrapped…)

Key features:
