Types of Chain Slings
Holloway Houston offers different chain slings, each designed for specific applications. Understanding the various configurations can help you choose the sling best suited to your lifting needs. We offer three types of slings: Standard, Adjustable, and Endless Basket.
Single Chain Slings
Single-chain slings are ideal for heavy vertical lifts and lighter loads. They simplify and efficiently perform lifting operations.
The available configurations of Single Chain Slings include:
- SOS (Oblong Link to Oblong Link): This mechanical configuration is perfect for general-purpose lifting.
- SGS (Grab Hook to Sling Hook): This option allows for secure attachment to loads with a grab hook on one end.
- SSS (Sling Hook to Sling Hook): Both ends feature sling hooks for versatile lifting options.
- SOF (Oblong Link to Foundry Hook): This configuration is suitable for foundry applications requiring a foundry hook.
Double Chain Slings
Double-chain slings improve stability by distributing the load across two legs, making them ideal for heavier applications.
The configurations of Double Chain Slings include:
- DOS (Oblong Link to Sling Hook): Welded connection offers reliable lifting with an oblong link at one end and a sling hook at the other.
- DOG (Oblong Link to Grab Hook): Provides added security with a grab hook attachment.
- DOF (Oblong Link to Foundry Hook): Designed for foundry use, this option combines an oblong link and a foundry hook.
Triple Chain Slings
Triple-chain slings are designed for more complex or uneven loads that require additional support.
Options of Triple Chain Slings include:
- TOS (Oblong Link to Sling Hook): A versatile choice for various lifting tasks.
- TOG (Oblong Link to Grab Hook): This configuration improves security during lifts.
- TOF (Oblong Link to Foundry Hook): Ideal for foundry applications, providing robust support.
Quadruple Chain Slings
For maximum stability and load distribution, quadruple chain slings are essential when lifting the heaviest or most awkward loads.
Variants of Quadruple Chain Slings include:
- QOS (Oblong Link to Sling Hook): Provides excellent support with four legs.
- QOG (Oblong Link to Grab Hook): Offers added security with grab hooks on each leg.
- QOF (Oblong Link to Foundry Hook): Designed specifically for foundry applications.
Basket Chain Slings
Endless basket chain slings are designed for balanced lifting by evenly distributing the weight across multiple points. These slings come in two configurations: single endless basket, where one length of chain forms the body and attaches to the oblong master link, and double endless basket, where two lengths of chain are each connected to separate oblong links, which are then joined to a master oblong link. Both configurations make sure that the load is shared efficiently, improving the lifting process.
Adjustable Chain Slings
Adjustable chain slings allow operators to modify the length of each leg using grab hooks, making them versatile for varying load heights and angles. This flexibility is beneficial in dynamic work environments where load sizes change frequently.
Customization Options
Holloway Houston understands that every lifting operation is unique. Therefore, they offer extensive customization options when ordering chain slings:
- Size: The size of the chain is determined by the working load limit required.
- Reach: This includes attachments, measured from bearing point to bearing point.
- Type: Customers can select from our different chain slings based on their application needs.
- Attachments: Standard master links are used unless specified otherwise. Customers can request specific attachments or provide drawings for custom designs. Few end fittings are available at Holloway, including sling hooks, grab hooks, self-locking hooks, and foundry hooks.
Safety Standards and Quality Assurance
Safety is a priority in lifting operations, and Holloway Houston’s chain slings are manufactured with this in mind. Each sling undergoes rigorous proof testing and quality inspections to ensure compliance with industry safety standards. Stainless steel tags provide essential information about each sling, including size, reach, capacity, and serial number for traceability.
