Important Guidance – YOKE G8 and G10 chain fitting programme

 

Is your specification clear?   

Although we are privileged to be recognised as one of the top five G8 and G10 chain system manufacturers, we wish to issue urgent guidance and make it clear that despite industry rumors WE DO NOT manufacture or OEM for any other supplier.

The strategy of our company is to only offer a single YOKE brand, so please ensure you add “YOKE” to your specification if you are seeking genuine YOKE G8 (yellow) or G10 (blue) chain components. Colour or design alone does not mean you will receive YOKE products, nor will you get the performance you require.

 

 

How to guarantee that your YOKE G8 and G10 components are genuine products and come from an Authorised Partner: 

There is a huge range of manufacturers, importers and components that can now be purchased on the global market, legislation applies to them all. Some components are covered by EN/ASME/AS/JIS/other harmonised standards and 3rd party approvals such as DGUV, whereas many are not.

The origin and colour of some brands are known, others are unknown, which leads to confusion to the conformity of these components. Please check with your YOKE Account Manager to ensure you are procuring from an Authorised YOKE Partner.

This guidance for YOKE products has been written to give clarity to the issue which has recently being brought to our attention by both the end users, rigging companies and Authorised YOKE partners, to ensure correct product supply, documentation, performance and markings are in accordance with legislation, standards and best practice. We take the safety and security of our product and our customers safety. 

 

This guidance is there to assist but does not replace the responsibility of those with specific duties under the legislation to ensure that they fulfill the obligations imposed on them.
