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.
Note: Do not use slings at an angle less than 30°.
Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.
