Chain Slings

Chain slings can be manufactured using permanent, welded coupling links, or if preferred, mechanical coupling links for quicker "in the field" assemblies. Either way, the sling must have an attached identification tag providing the grade, size, reach, type of sling, working load limit at a specific angle of lift, and serial number.Relative to other types of slings, chain slings have the poorest strength/weight ratio, best abrasion and cut resistance, average elongation and shock resistance, best flexibility, and best resistance to high temperatures.
