Chain slings and chain fittings: Understanding the difference and choosing the right option
  When it comes to safe and efficient lifting operations, using the right equipment isn’t just about following protocol — it’s about protecting people, machinery, and materials. Two key components that often get together, but serve distinct functions, are   chain slings & fittings . If you are in construction, logistics, oil & gas, or industrial rigging, knowing the difference between these components and how to choose the right type can make all the difference in lift performance and safety. Let’s break down what sets them apart and how to select the right combination for your next lifting job. What are chain slings? Chain slings are the  main lifting assemblies  used to connect the load to the lifting device (like a crane or hoist). They are made from high-strength alloy chains and come in various configurations: Single-leg slings for straight vertical lifting Double- and multi-leg slings for more balanced load control Adjustable slings for variable load si...
