Build-Your-Own Chain Barriers
Mix and match posts and chain to create a barrier that suits your needs.
To connect two lengths of chain, use an S-hook or a connecting chain link.
Warning: Chain is not load rated. Do not use for overhead lifting, towing, or similar applications.
Chain Slings with Latching Hooks
 Four Leg |  |  |  |
 30° Angle |  45° Angle |  60° Angle |
Latching hooks allow you to quickly release a load. The chain provides strength and ruggedness to withstand harsh working conditions. Slings include a tag that shows chain grade and size, length, and capacities in each configuration.
Stainless steel slings are corrosion resistant.
Grade 100 steel slings are approximately 20% stronger than grade 80 steel.
Note: Do not use slings at an angle less than 30°.
Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.
