2 Leg Chain Sling: The Durable Standard for Two-Point Lifts

The 2 Leg Chain Sling (or Double-Leg Chain Sling) is a fundamental, heavy-duty rigging component essential for lifting loads requiring balanced, two-point attachment. Constructed from high-strength, heat-treated Grade 80 alloy steel chain, this sling offers unmatched durability, heat resistance, and cut resistance compared to synthetic or wire rope slings.

Key Features and Benefits:

• Balanced Lifting: The two-leg bridle configuration ensures even weight distribution and enhanced load stability when lifting items with two dedicated lifting points, such as rectangular crates, pipes, or machinery.
• Extreme Resilience: Alloy steel chain is impervious to UV degradation and maintains its integrity in environments with high temperatures (up to 400°C with WLL adjustments), chemicals, and sharp edges.
• High Working Load Limit (WLL): Built to safely handle substantial weights, providing a reliable capacity (WLL is determined by chain size, grade, and the crucial angle of lift).
• Complete Assembly:
  • Upper Terminal: Features a robust Master Link (Oblong or Pear-shaped) for secure connection to the crane or hoist hook.
  • Lower Terminals: Each leg ends in a dependable fitting, typically a Self-Locking Hook (for maximum security) or a standard Sling Hook with a safety latch.
• Adjustability (Optional): Many double-leg chain slings can be fitted with chain shortening adjusters (grab hooks) on each leg, allowing the operator to quickly modify the reach for non-symmetrical lifts.
• Longevity and Inspection: Chain slings are known for their exceptional service life and are easily inspected for wear or damage, allowing for simple component replacement if needed.
• Safety Compliant: Manufactured, proof-tested, and tagged according to stringent global safety standards (e.g., ASME B30.9, EN 818-4) for guaranteed performance.

Ideal For:

• General Fabrication: Lifting beams, rectangular frames, and metal plates with sharp edges.
• Industrial Maintenance: Moving heavy equipment, motors, or dies in high-heat areas.
• Foundry Operations: Handling molds or castings that are still hot.
• Any Two-Point Lift: Where durability, capacity, and resistance to environmental factors are prioritized over flexibility or weight.

Load Safety: The rated WLL applies at a $90^\circ$ angle of lift. Always consult the load chart and apply the correct reduction factor when the angle of the legs is wider (less than $90^\circ$ from the horizontal).
