Employing the use of grade eight and grade ten steel, the user can be assured that only the safest platforms are offered through our services. As we appreciate that there is no such concept as "one size fits all" in regards to chain slings, a number of selections are offered.

Currently, these lifting chains are available in models of up to four individual chains per sling. This will allow for more attachment points and therefore, higher levels of control. Additionally, we can also fit shortening grab hooks to each leg to adjust the chain length.

More Lifting Slings To Consider

Lifting Gear Direct has an extensive array of other lifting slings to consider if chain slings are not precisely what you are looking for.

Take our web slings, for example, which offer capacities of between 1 tonne and 10 tonnes. With a number of different hitching configurations achievable, you can create a safe and stable link to an anchor point which will not let you down during complex lifting tasks.

We also offer wear sleeves which can be used in conjunction with any of the lifting sling products we supply. This will improve the lifespan of the sling and also limit any abrasions it might cause to other materials it comes into contact with during use.

For lifting and cargo transport where a single use sling makes sense, our disposable one way slings are similarly effective and customisable, providing you with all the variety you need to hit deadlines.

Wire rope slings are another option to consider.
