Connecting Green Pin Tycan
®
Lashing Chain directly into hooks
(components) where the width/clevis
is more than required minimum clevis
width is not acceptable. Doing so
can cause the layers to spread apart,
which in the utmost consequence
could have a negative effect on
the strength of the chain. The only
exception is when it is not an open
end-link and both load bearing-points
of the link is under tension from the
adjacent chain links. An example
of this is the anchored basket hitch
showed in this manual.
