Repairing and Testing Chain Slings

At Lifting Gear Direct we have the capability to thoroughly inspect, test, repair and replace all types of chain slings with certification issued to ensure they are safe to use. Besides daily check overs thorough inspections should be undertaken at least every 6 months or more frequent depending on their use. If you notice anything suspect, don't use – get it tested straight away. Repairs can often be made rather than replacing the whole sling.
