Chain Slings with Latching Hooks
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.

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