Important lifting information

The working load limit of a chain sling depends on the chain diameter, the number of legs in use and the angle of the lift. Multi-leg sling capacities are based on the legs being used symmetrically. The working load limit may be affected by sharp edges, unusual loading arrangements, excessive lifting angles or asymmetrical lifts.

Chain slings must only be used by suitably trained and competent personnel and must be inspected before use. Please provide details of the load, required chain length, lifting arrangement and preferred hook type when requesting a quotation.

Contact Total Hire & Sales for advice, availability and pricing on the correct chain sling for your requirements.
