 Chain slings combine the durability, ease of handling, and strength needed for heavy duty lifting. Severe lifting conditions, heavy loads, and elevated working temperatures dictate a need for the use of chain slings. Operations requiring repetitive lifts, such as steel mills, foundries, and heavy machining operations, generally require alloy chain slings.

Chain slings are a available in many sizes and configurations. Ace Industries can provide up to 3/4" chain slings with all types of attachments. Included here are the most popular sizes and hook choices for single and double leg chain slings. Each type can be configured for various lengths of chain and type of hooks

The wire rope sling is not quite as durable. It is not as flexible as chain but its greater stiffness can be an advantage if it has to be inserted through a small opening or beneath a load. However, when wrapped around a load, it often tends to deform permanently to the shape of the load. Wire rope suitable for slings comes in a variety of grades and constructions. In most cases looping back and securing the loop with a metal sleeve terminates the rope. This forms a loop or soft eye, the simplest form of sling end. Thimbles are used to support and protect the eye from abrasion. Wire rope is generally cheaper and lighter than chain which can be a plus, particularly for applications that require long lengths.  For more information, click here

Polyester web slings offer several features which promote their popularity among riggers.  They are often used when highly polished, fragile or delicate loads must be lifted.  The softness of the web will lessen marring, or scratch loads, while its flexibility assures a firm, grip around the item being lifted.  The light weight of the material, combined with flexibility allows the slings to be quickly and safely handled by riggers.

• Provides more control in binding and releasing without extra tools
• Handle closes down away from load with more leverage
• Functionally superior to any other on the road
• Handles are drop forged from special bar quality steel
• Hooks are heat treated steel
• Single welded links as in binder chain for better reliability
• More take-up for binding greater loads and smaller handle riveted nose to prevent spreading at  the critical loading point
