Lifting chain slings are specialized lifting tools composed of two main parts: chains and supporting lifting accessories. The accessory range typically includes hooks, connecting rings, and connecting chains—all components work together to form a complete system for heavy-load handling.
Their primary function is to lift heavy objects and move them from one location to another. This makes them a staple in scenarios requiring heavy lifting, such as construction sites, manufacturing factories, and ship repair yards.
Key Advantages Over Other Lifting Equipment
Compared to alternative lifting tools (e.g., wire rope slings, synthetic web slings), lifting chain slings stand out for three core strengths, especially in demanding environments:
- Higher load capacity: Their structural design and material properties allow them to bear heavier weights, meeting the needs of heavy-duty lifting tasks.
- Strong wear resistance: The chain structure is highly resistant to friction and abrasion, maintaining performance even with frequent use.
- Superior corrosion resistance: They hold up better against moisture, chemicals, or harsh weather conditions, making them suitable for extreme working environments.
