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" 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.
You can find lots of big brands represented across the different equipment categories on our site, and our chain line up is no different.
Whether you are looking for components from Gunnebo, Thiele, Cartec or Pewag, you can take your pick from these and many other major names in the shop by brand category. This should give you confidence in the quality of the chain and components you order from us.

Chain can be adapted

double leg, 3 leg or 4 leg set up as well as an endless chain. You can purchase them online with choices for the safe
working load, length, end fitting and whether shortening grabs are
required. If you can't see the exact specification you need then just
give us a call. Bespoke chain slinging products can be made for you.
Lifting Gear Direct has an extensive array of other 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.

Here is our short video on how chain slings can be used in different configurations.
A chain sling is a piece of commonly used lifting equipment made up of singular or multiple lengths of steel chain together with chain components to create connection and anchor points
Firstly these slings can be made from different types of steel, typically grade 8, grade 10 or stainless. Secondly the design of the can be a single leg, double leg, three leg or four leg or an endless option. There are many component options to also consider and together with the chain your choices will depend greatly on your lifting operation.
Absolutely, yes. We can make up chain in any configuration to suit your requirements. Choices include chain diameter, length, safe working load and choice of components, hooks and connectors.
Components for chain when used as a sling are many and varied, the most common types include master link for connecting multiple lengths of chain and serves as the anchor point. Each chain leg is usually terminated in a hook, of which there are many types clevis, swivel, self locking, foundry hook and many more. Shortening grab hooks are also used for shortening the length of the chain safely when required.
Chain lifting slings are used for lifting heavy and/or awkward loads. The top link will be attached to the hoist or crane which does the heavy lifting and the hooks at the lower end of each chain leg are what attaches to the load.
