Single Leg Chain Sling

Details Information

Introduction

Quadruple leg chain slings are lifting devices designed to support and hoist heavy and/or challenging loads.

They consist of four chain legs that are interconnected at the top to a central master link or a master sub-assembly.

Many industry experts also refer to them as 4 Leg chain slings. Each chain leg terminates with a hook, link, grab, or other lifting attachment devices.

The multiple legs distribute the load weight, increasing stability and minimizing stress on individual components. There are also, single leg chain slings, double leg chain slings and triple leg chain slings.

 Features 

Quadruple leg chain slings are typically constructed using high-quality alloy steel chains. Grade 10 or also referred to as Grade 100 being the most prevalent. Grade 120 and 80 are also available. These chains are known for their exceptional strength, durability, and resistance to abrasion, chemicals, and high temperatures. Where certain corrosive environments may exist, Grade 50 stainless steel chain slings are also available.

Master Link: The master link, located at the top of the chain bridle sling assembly, serves as a central connection point for the four legs. Welded master links are very common although forged links from alloy steel are also available. Master links with sub assemblies can also be used to allow smaller link diameters and may provide improved load distribution.

Leg Length: Each leg of the quadruple chain sling can be customized to meet specific lifting requirements. The length of the legs determines the angle of loading at which the load will be lifted and affects the functional strength/increased tension of the chain sling assembly. Chain shortening hooks are also widely popular as they allow the sling user to shorten the leg length when lifting loads that do not have equidistant attachment points from the center of gravity.

Hooks and Attachments: The lower end of each leg is equipped with a lifting attachment, such as a hook, grab, or sling hook, to connect to the load. These attachments are designed to securely hold the load during lifting operations. Self-Locking style hooks are extremely common and very durable avoiding the need to replace shitty latch mechanisms.

 Applications 

Quadruple leg chain slings are engineered from high-strength alloys to handle heavy loads, making them ideal for industries such as construction, manufacturing, and transportation.
