What You Need to Know About a G80 Chain Sling

Designed to withstand high temperatures and heavy impact, a Grade 80 Chain Sling is a reliable lifting device. This type of sling is also resistant to chemicals, and it can be used in a wide range of rigging applications. However, there are several factors that you need to consider before you purchase a chain sling.

The first thing you need to remember when purchasing a sling is that it must be the correct size for the load. You should also choose a sling that can accommodate the angle between the legs. If you are not careful, you could cause serious physical and property damage by not using the sling properly. Regardless of the type of sling you purchase, you should always follow the manufacturer's instructions for safe use.

Grade 80 chain slings can be assembled into several different sling assemblies, including two-leg, four-leg, and six-leg slings. There are also special purpose slings, such as those for hot- or cold-environments. These slings are able to withstand a temperature of up to 300 degF.

A typical chain sling will have a hook, made of alloy steel, which is heat-treated for extra hardness. Usually, a ring is positioned over the hook to secure the hook. Alloy steel chain slings should not be used in chemically active environments. In addition, steel core slings should never be used in temperatures lower than -40 degF.

Before purchasing a chain sling, you should always consult a qualified person. This person should be able to recommend the best sling for your application. They can help you determine the proper sling for your load, and they can advise you on special use slings, as well.

A Grade 80 Chain Sling is designed to support a load of 11,000 lbs. It has a maximum length of 5 feet and is available in two-leg or four-leg designs. The sling is constructed of a G80 Mn-steel chain and a safety hook. Typically, the hook is assembled with an oversized ring.

Because alloy steel slings are so durable, they are often used in applications where abrasion is a problem. When you choose an alloy sling, you can expect abrasion resistance that is five times stronger than its Working Load Limit. Although these slings are inexpensive, you should take precautions to ensure that they are not damaged or destroyed in service.

Always keep a sharp edge away from the load. This will protect the sling from cuts or tears, and it will also reduce the risk of a sling becoming entangled. Avoid placing loads on the hook. Remember to protect the edges of the hook with a ring or a corner protector. Also, never ride the sling. Never exceed the working load limit of the sling.

Lastly, you should check with us about the sling's performance in extreme temperatures. Some slings are more susceptible than others to damage from heat, and you should make sure that your sling is suitable for the temperatures you will be operating in.
