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.

Prevent accidental opening of the hook with these locking hooks. 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.

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.

Adjustable Chain Slings

Style A

Style B Shown in Two Leg Configuration

Style A

60° Angle

Style B

Vertical

Adjust the chain length and number of legs without changing slings. The chain provides strength and ruggedness to withstand the harshest working conditions.

Style A slings include a tag that shows chain grade and size, length, and capacities in each configuration.

Style B slings have capacities in each configuration stamped on the top link. For vertical configurations, use only one leg and the top eye while the other hangs free.

Note: Do not use slings at an angle less than 45°.

Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.

Drum Slings

Use these two-leg slings to stack steel drums.

Slings with clamps keep a grip on the drum even when not under load.

Slings with hooks grip the drum as the sling is lifted.

Style C sling has two lifting eyes; use the center eye for horizontal lifts and the other eye for near vertical lifts. It has two fittings on the center eye that allow the length of the sling legs to adjust.

Style D sling has one flexible leg, one rigid bar leg, and two round lifting eyes. Use the center eye for horizontal lifts and the other eye for near vertical lifts.

Style F slings are tightened and locked with a load binder.

Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.
