Chain slings

Grade 80 and 100 chain slings are often used in the steel industry as they are extremely resilient and last many years when properly used and maintained. It is important to note that in Ontario chain slings can be rated based on 4 to 1 design factor as long as they are NOT being used in the construction industry. When used in the construction industry, the chain slings must be rated based on a 5 to 1 design factor as per Construction Safety Association of Ontario.

It is also possible that some companies require all chain slings to be rated at a 5 to 1 design factor as a standard. Although many chain slings are used in the steel industry, they are also used in almost every industry where wire rope is used. The benefits of using chain are the life cycle cost of the product and the durability and the length adjustability (when shorteners are present).

All chain slings we manufacture are Proof Tested in-house to twice the rated work load limit and come with a Test Certificate. Each chain sling is equipped with a heavy duty metal ID tag with the following information: our name and logo, contact number and e-mail, size, length, WLL and angle of use, date, serial number, design factor and number of legs.
