Design and Flexibility
Our Braided Chain Slings are designed by using Grade 100 alloy chains, known for their superior strength and durability. These slings are available in different sizes, ranging from 7/32” to 1/2” chain links, to accommodate different load requirements. Each sling can be customized with either a standard hook friendly link or a choker end link, depending on the specific needs of your application. Whether you're lifting bulky machinery or handling oversized materials, Braided Chain Slings provide the reliable performance you need.
Features and Benefits
Braided Chain Slings offer several advantages that make them stand out in the industry:
- Resistance to Abrasion and Cutting: The high-strength alloy steel used in our slings provides excellent resistance to abrasion and cutting, providing long-lasting performance even in demanding environments.
- 100% Proof Tested: Each Braided Chain Sling undergoes a rigorous proof testing process, meeting the highest safety standards. You can trust our slings to handle your heaviest loads with confidence.
- Wide Bearing Area: The wide bearing area of the sling helps distribute the load evenly, reducing the risk of damage to the load and the sling itself. This feature enhances safety and prolongs the lifespan of the sling.
- High-Strength Steel End Links: Our slings are equipped with high-strength steel end links that are compatible with most crane hooks. These end links can also be customized to fit specific requirements, providing flexibility in various lifting applications.
- Customizable Length, Width, and Capacity: We understand that every lifting job is unique. That’s why we offer customizable options for length, width, and load capacity, allowing you to tailor the sling to your exact needs.
- Low Stretch: Braided Chain Slings have minimal stretch under load, allowing for precise and controlled lifting operations. This characteristic is especially crucial in critical lifts where accuracy is paramount.
- Repairable: In the event of wear or damage, our Braided Chain Slings can be repaired, extending their service life and providing a cost-effective solution for your lifting needs.
- Traceability: Each sling is hard stamped with a unique serial number for traceability, allowing you to track its history and maintain detailed records for safety and compliance purposes.

How to Choose the Right Chain Sling
Selecting the appropriate chain sling depends on several factors, including the nature of the load, the lifting environment, and the required capacity. Consider the following:
- Load Type and Weight: Determine the load's weight and shape to choose a sling with adequate strength and appropriate configuration.
- Environmental Conditions: Assess factors like temperature extremes, exposure to chemicals, or abrasive environments to select a sling that can withstand these conditions.
- Flexibility and Handling: If ease of handling and flexibility are important, consider alternatives like wire rope or synthetic slings.
- Customization Needs: For specific applications requiring custom lengths or end fittings, the chosen sling can be tailored to your exact requirements.
Consult with a lifting equipment expert to select the optimal chain sling for your needs, both safety and efficiency in your operations.
Safety and Compliance
Safety is our top priority. All our Braided Chain Slings are manufactured to meet or exceed industry safety standards. Each sling is thoroughly inspected and tested before it reaches you, so that it performs reliably and safely under the most demanding conditions.
Warnings
Braided chain slings can fail if damaged, misused, or overloaded. Always inspect slings before use and operate them with trained personnel. Exceeding the Work Load Limit (WLL) can result in serious injury or death. For detailed safety, usage, and inspection guidelines, refer to the "Warning" section under "Product Resources."
