Grade 8 Double Leg Chain Sling

A Grade 8 double leg chain sling is a lifting device used to safely lift and transport heavy loads. It consists of two lengths of chain connected to a master link at the top and two hooks at the bottom, forming a "Y" shape. The chain is made from Grade 80 steel, which has a minimum ultimate tensile strength of 80,000 pounds per square inch (psi).

Double leg chain slings are commonly used in industries such as construction, manufacturing, and transportation, where heavy loads need to be lifted and moved. The two legs of the sling provide increased stability and load distribution, making it a safer and more reliable lifting solution than a single-leg sling.

When using a double leg chain sling, it's important to follow safety guidelines and proper rigging practices to ensure that the load is secure and stable. The load should be properly balanced and centered, and the hooks should be securely attached to the load and the lifting equipment. The load should also be lifted smoothly and steadily, without any sudden movements or jerks.

To select the right Grade 8 double leg chain sling for your application, you need to consider the weight and size of the load being lifted, as well as the lifting height and environment. It's important to choose a sling that is rated for the weight of the load, and to inspect the sling regularly for wear and damage. It's also recommended to have the sling inspected by a qualified professional before each use to ensure that it is in good working condition.
