Grade 8 alloy chain slings are often selected when operating under high temperature or rigged conditions that would abrade or destroy other types of slings. They are flexible, durable, long lasting, ductile, easy to inspect, collapsible for convenient storage, and will adhere securely to the contours of a load. The most advantageous feature of a chain sling is its ability to be repaired/ Nearly any damaged component discovered during an inspection can be repaired and restores to useful condition.

Liftek manufactures and test chain slings that adhere to local and international standards. We have a large stock of Grade 8 chain accessories.

Load Estimation

In multi-leg slings, the angle between the legs is critical. The actual tension on each leg increases whenthe angle between the legs increases as shown in the diagram opposite. For this reason all general purpose chain slings are given a rating based upon use at 90⁰ inc angle. The included angle between the legs should never exceed 120⁰.
