Common questions

Grade 8 chain sling FAQs

Final assembly selection should always be based on the lifting arrangement and compatible components. Durham Lifting can help turn the available site information into a clear quotation.

Can Grade 8 slings be supplied in multi-leg configurations?

Yes. Single, two, three and four-leg assemblies can be quoted where suitable for the load and lifting-point arrangement.

Do I need to know the chain diameter?

No. Start with the required WLL, leg arrangement, working length and lifting angle. Chain size is selected from the complete requirement.

Can different hooks and fittings be supplied?

Yes. Compatible master links, hooks, connectors and shortening devices can be selected as part of the assembly.

Can a replacement sling be matched?

Send the existing identification tag, photographs and dimensions. The team can review the available information and confirm what else is needed.

Need a Grade 8 chain sling?

Send the WLL, number of legs, working length, fittings and required date.
