Configuring your 4 Leg Chain Slings

Our 4 leg chain slings use grade 8 steel chain and components, and can be made up to suit your specific requirements. It is worth noting that we only add a few variations for online purchasing to keep things simple. However if you need something different just call 01384 76961. Our team can usually help and always with the keenest of prices.

Amongst the options you can configure are the end components. These are the end fittings attached to each chain leg that will subsequently anchor to the load. Clevis sling hooks or self locking hooks are the options for buying the quad leg chain sling online. They both offer excellent load security although are used in slightly different ways.

You can choose the length of your chain (bearing point to bearing point) in one metre steps from 1 metre up to 10 metres. Again this is for online purchasing, so for any other length just get in touch.

If you are not sure what length you may need then you could order a longer one and add in some shortening grab hooks. These shorteners enable the chain legs to be shortened in the only safe way permitted, thus you will get the best of both a long and short chain sling.

When it comes down to the safe working load and or chain diameter the options are rather good. Starting at 3.15 tonnes with a 7mm link diameter and stepping up in increments to the largest 31.5 tonner with a 22mm link diameter.
