About Sling Configurations and Capacity
More
Adjustable Chain Slings
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.

Adjustable Rope Slings
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.
