What are chain slings?

To use chains effectively for lifting heavy goods, it is necessary to have a strong hook to fasten the Chain. This hook is called a chain sling. A chain sling provides a place to fasten the metal chains and allows room for movement. But the question is how do we use it? And is it safe?

How to use chain slings?

Chain slings are frequently used to lift cargo. A heavy object is tied with a metal chain. Then the chain is fastened to the chain sling. A crane or some other machine lifts the object up and transports it to the desired location. This makes chain slings quite useful. The difference between wire ropes and chains is evident. While a wire rope may be stronger, you can wrap chains around an object, for even distribution of weight. The other common method to use chain slings is to use a platform. You can weld or fasten chains on the corners of a platform. All of these chains can now be attached to a chain sling. Thus you can lift anything on the platform.
