Manufactured from lengths of high-tensile chain, these products offer users many advantages over other types of Lifting Chain and assemblies. – super strength, reliability, flexibility, and longevity, to name just a few.
Additionally, they are completely customisable, allowing you to create a solution to suit your individual requirements. For example, if you need to undertake two lifting tasks, one at 5m and one at 8m, all you need to do is purchase an 8m Chain Sling Assembly – then add a Shortening Hook to the mix and you can lift at your required shorter length(s).
Our range of chain slings are available in single, double, triple, and quad leg configurations, in any of the following grades: Grade 6, Grade 8, Grade 10, Grade 12, and Grade 80 - you name it, we have a solution just for you.

When operating a Chain Sling, it’s vital to make sure that you’re using the correct assembly for the task ahead, and that your load is rigged by a fully trained and competent person. You must remember that the angle at which a load can be lifted will affect the safe working load limit of a lifting chain – the wider the angle, the lower the WLL.
Generally speaking, Crane Chains can be used in a variety of different configurations to sling particular loads, and in some instances, increase the capacity of an assembly. For example, our Grade 8 Single Leg 7mm when used in a straight 90-degree angle achieves a working load limit of 1.5 Tonnes. But when the same chain is used in a basket configuration, a 2.12 Tonne WLL is achieved.
