  • Kinks, birdcaging, or broken wires (Wire ropes)

  • Cracks, deformations, and elongation (Shackles, hooks)

  • Latch functionality on hooks (Self-locking, safety catches)

  • Correct use of end fittings (Thimbles, ferrules)

  • Links for wear, stretching, or cracks

  • Hooks & terminations for distortion, damage, or wear

  • Master links for bends, cracks, or deformation

  • Chain identification tags and markings

  • Load chain/wire rope condition (Twisting, fraying, lubrication)

  • Brake mechanism functionality (Holding load securely)
