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.

Similar to a finger trap, the loop adjusts freely when loose and holds tight when tension is applied. Made of abrasion- and chemical-resistant Dyneema, these slings are a lightweight alternative to wire rope slings.
Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.
