A chain load monitoring unit, and an installation tool and a method for installing a chain load monitoring unit

A chain load monitoring unit (10), comprising a main body (12) with a first locking pawl (14) and a second locking pawl (16) connected by respective shafts (18), said first locking pawl (14) and second locking pawl (16) are each arranged to receive and hold respective chain links of a chain (40) and to transfer the load on the chain (40) to the shafts (18),

• wherein respective shafts (18) comprise attachable locking clamps (28), which when attached to the shafts (18) locks the first locking pawl (14) and the second locking pawl (16) at a load transferring distance between each other, characterized in that
• at least one of said shafts (18) comprises a load cell (20) connected to a logger unit (26), said load cell (20) is arranged to read tension in the tensioned shaft (18) taking up the load, wherein the locking clamps (28) are attachable between the second locking pawl (16) and a first clamp support (32) at a lower part of the shaft (18), and
• wherein the first locking pawl (14) is fixedly connected to the shafts (18) and the second locking pawl (16) is slidably mounted on the shafts (18).
