Some general information about chain sling & wire rope sling


Chain Sling- Chain slings are generally used in conjunction with a crane, powered hoist, manual and lever hoist or other type of lifting device. Before you select a chain sling, it is important to understand the application of slings. It is very important to understand that what kind of slings will be suitable for the industrial/construction industry, Because slings equipped with so many characteristics such as its weight, sling angles, number of attachment points. So you should have an idea about these features when you are about to buy chain slings. This will help you to choose the right sling for the task.

Wire rope slings- It is commonly used for lifting purpose when you need strength, durability and resistance to abrasion to handle loads. Wire rope consists of a number of small individual wires that are turned into strands, the strands are then twisted together to form solid rope. Wire ropes slings have long been the standard when it comes to overhead lifting and material handling.

And if we talk about Lifting & Moving loads then wire rope slings plays significant role to handle bending stress as it is too flexible in nature. Areas where wire rope slings are most popular-
  •         Construction Industries
  •          Manufacturing Industries
  •      Automotive Industries
  •     Oil & gas etc

In these areas, variety of heavy loads and rugged conditions exist and they prefer to utilize wire rope slings because wire rope constructed of various grades of steel making it resistant to elements such as moisture, heat UV, and such chemicals. Wire rope slings can be assembled in a variety of configurations and sizes for nearly any lifting applications. The twisted strands of heavy duty wires are extremely durable and they create high tensile strength, so we often prefer wire rope sling in these industries.
