Learn about VEVOR chain slings, which are specialized for secure, robust, and reliable lifting in industrial and business settings. Each chain sling is produced from high-strength alloy steel materials with reinforced hooks and reliable master links for secure lifting or handling. These chain lifting devices are suitable for lifting, workshops, warehouses, construction sites, mechanical systems, and other heavy-duty material handling situations.
The chain slings VEVOR provides come in various chain diameters, lengths, and capacities. Consequently, these chain lifting devices support light-duty, medium-duty, and heavy-duty lifting tasks.
Alloy steel chain slings are equipment made up of chains that have been heat-treated and fitted with forged fittings. They are used where the lifting operation is rugged, and the material is heavy. They offer a lot more resistance to wear, shocks, and heat than fabric slings. VEVOR alloy steel chain slings are meant for heavy-duty lifting.
VEVOR alloy steel chain slings are great for industrial and mechanical applications to provide efficient and stable lifting solutions. These slings are composed of high-strength Grade 80 alloy steel chains combined with heavy-duty hooks to perform heavy-duty lifting.
The range includes various chain lifting slings, such as single-leg and double-leg chain slings. The chain diameters offered are 1/4 inch, 5/16 inch, and 3/8 inch, and the length varies from 5 ft to 10 ft. The lifting capacity ranges from 2000 lbs drum lifters to heavy-duty slings above 20000 lbs.
Chain slings are designed to meet conditions in which fabric or wire rope slings can't handle - heavy loads, sharp edges, repeated industrial use, and high heat.
The 1/4 inch chain lifting slings are a suitable and convenient solution for lighter loads, quick rigging jobs, and maintenance lifting situations. The sling 1/4x5ft chain lifting sling with hooks is ideal for repair shops and light industrial applications, and can carry loads of approximately 6600lbs.
The 5/16" chain slings offer a good combination of weight and lifting capacity, with a load capacity of around 11,000 lbs, depending on the configuration used. Models are available in 5/16 x 5 ft and 5/16 x 10 ft, which are typically used for lifting engines, steel frames, and construction materials that require a longer reach or a higher capacity.
Once lifting loads shift into the more substantial end, the 3/8 inch chain slings are introduced, with a lifting capacity of up to 22,900 lbs. The 3/8 inch x 10 ft heavy-duty alloy steel chain sling is designed for steel structure lifting, heavy machine, and large-scale fabrication projects.
Two-point attachment is useful for wide loads, irregular or erratic loads, and loads that move during lift. The reliable 5/16" x 10 ft double-leg chain sling with grab hooks provides safety in these applications, and the two-leg sling with reinforced fittings provides additional security when lifting in difficult conditions.
For cylindrical load items such as drums and barrels, standard chain slings are not necessarily practical. Specialized drum lifters are made to securely and carefully lift drums vertically. The G80 chain drum lifter is designed to lift drums vertically at a safe rate, and is available in both thickened security hook and security hook with chain options, with rated capacities of 2,000 lbs and 2,200 lbs, respectively.
Other lifts involve using adjustable chain lengths and/or multiple attachment points, which traditional hook arrangements cannot accommodate. Riggers can use grab hook chain slings to reduce the working length of the chain without the use of tools to achieve greater control over load positioning.
A chain is only as secure as the condition it's in. Periodic inspections and correct maintenance will greatly prolong the useful life of the equipment, and most importantly, make the lifting at the site safer for all concerned.
Inspect all links, hooks, and master links for cracks, deformations, corrosion, or wear before using a chain sling to attach to a load. The sling may also be overloaded or damaged if the shape of the links or surface has changed, even if it is a minor change.
Repeated application and over time, chain links can stretch slightly under load stress. Check the length of the chain occasionally against the specified length - if it has grown longer, then it has worn and has a lower capacity.
Dirt, grit, chemicals, or moisture cause chain links and fittings to wear more quickly. Once the chain is used in harsh conditions, clean the surface with a clean cloth and loosen the debris between the links. If the chain comes in contact with corrosive material, rinse it in plenty of water and dry it completely.
Standard lubrication minimises metal-on-metal wear and ensures links move freely at the contact points. Feed a light machine oil or chain lube through the linkages of the chain, all the way around the length of the chain.
Not only do chains that are left coiling on the floor deteriorate more quickly, but they also fail more easily when exposed to outdoor elements. Store chain slings in a dry, covered storage area in designated hangers or racks. Always avoid acids, chemicals, and extreme heat sources.
VEVOR has a large selection of alloy steel chain slings at a very reasonable price range and various specifications and sizes. Among the alloy steel chain slings offered by VEVOR are the chain lifting slings and double leg chain slings, which can be used for light, medium, and heavy-duty lifting tasks. The alloy steel chain slings consist of sturdy materials and are of reliable strength ratings which provide a lifting solution that is both durable and stable.
