Lifting chains
Chain slings connect the lifting equipment to the load, providing a reliable solution for industrial lifting and the handling of heavy or bulky loads. Made of steel or stainless steel, they are suitable for damp environments or those exposed to corrosion.
The chains used comply with lifting standards, featuring medium-tolerance links and dimensions designed to support the loads. Chain slings are available in grades 80, 100, and 120 (upon request), offering optimal lifting capacity while maintaining a manageable weight for easy handling and on-site installation:
- 1-, 2-, 3-, or 4-strand slings: suitable depending on the number of attachment points on the load and the lifting equipment.
- Grade 80 steel lifting chain: used to manufacture custom lifting chains
FAQ – Chain Slings
What is a chain sling and what is it used for?
A chain sling is a metal lifting device that connects a lifting machine to a load, allowing heavy loads to be lifted and moved safely. It distributes the load evenly and ensures stable lifting.
What is the difference between grades 80, 100, and 120?
The grade indicates the chain’s mechanical strength. Higher grades (100 or 120) offer a higher maximum load capacity with a lighter chain weight, making handling easier and reducing the load carried by the operator.
How do you choose the number of strands for a chain sling?
The number of strands (1, 2, 3, or 4) depends on the type of load, its stability, and its attachment points. Multi-strand slings allow for more balanced and secure lifting of bulky loads.
What accessories can be used with a chain sling?
Slings can be equipped with hooks, end links, shackles, or shortening hooks, allowing the length and attachment to be adapted to different lifting equipment and types of loads.
Are chain slings suitable for corrosive environments?
Yes, steel slings are suitable for damp or corrosive environments, offering safety and durability in demanding conditions.
