Single Leg Chain Sling
£38.57 – £1,319.95
Chain slings consist of one or more lengths of chain with a master link at the top connecting each length. As well as typically having a safety hook at the bottom of each length.
The master link and safety load hook fall under the category of chain components of which there are many different types. So you can change out the component on each leg to something more suitable if necessary. We find the commonly used ones are the sling hooks with safety catch, ‘ swivel hooks and self locking hooks. Shortening grabs are also commonly used for shortening the length of the chain temporarily in a safe manner. Find all the dimensions and technical info in the specifications tab above.
The chain itself is grade 8 steel and comes in a range of diameters from 7mm to 32mm and load limits from 1.5 tonne up to 31.5 tonne with lengths to suit.
Single Leg Chain Sling Use
Chain slings are relatively straight forward to use, however there are a number of stipulations that must be adhered to. This will depend on which type of chain sling you are using and most importantly how it will be used. Single leg types are relatively straight forward as there is only 1 length of chain and is used in a straight, vertical plain.
Chain slings can also be used in different hitch types other than straight. Basket hitches are the other type of hitch used with a chain sling. In a basket hitch the length of chain passes around the load and hooks back into the master link. Single and double leg slings can be used in this way following the slinging safety charts.
