Product Description
DOG Grade 100 Chain Sling – Double Leg with Master Link & Grab Hooks
The DOG Grade 100 Chain Sling is a rugged double-leg lifting sling manufactured from premium Grade 100 alloy chain and fittings. This configuration features an oblong master link on one end with clevis grab hooks on each leg, offering adjustability and secure load engagement for a wide range of lifting applications.
We offer online purchase sizes from 7/32" through 3/4", with Working Load Limits ranging from 4,700 lbs up to 61,100 lbs (at 60° or less). Larger chain diameters and higher capacities are available on a per-quote basis for engineered and high-capacity lifting applications.
- Made from Grade 100 alloy chain and fittings – new and certified
- Double-leg DOG configuration with oblong master link
- Clevis grab hooks on each leg for adjustable length control
- Ideal for two-point lifting and improved load stability
- Individually serialized and furnished with metal load tag
- Load tag indicates chain size, sling length, Working Load Limit, and serial number
- Designed for demanding industrial and construction environments
Why Choose DOG Grade 100 Chain Slings?
The DOG configuration provides the stability of a double-leg sling with the added flexibility of grab hooks. This allows operators to shorten chain legs quickly and balance uneven loads without additional hardware. It is a practical and economical choice for many structural and industrial lifting scenarios.
Grade 100 alloy chain delivers approximately 25% higher Working Load Limits compared to Grade 80 chain of the same diameter — allowing increased lifting capacity without increasing sling weight.
Typical Applications
- Structural steel erection
- Equipment and machinery lifting
- Fabrication and manufacturing operations
- Precast and industrial component handling
- General two-point overhead lifts
Frequently Asked Questions
What does “DOG” mean?
DOG denotes a double-leg chain sling with grab hooks on each leg and an oblong master link at the top.
When should I choose grab hooks over sling hooks?
Grab hooks are ideal when you need to shorten chain length or adjust sling legs to balance uneven loads.
How does sling angle affect capacity?
Working Load Limits are based on a 60° sling angle. As the sling angle decreases (becomes flatter), tension on each leg increases and overall Working Load Limit is reduced. Always follow proper rigging angle charts and lifting standards.
Are these slings certified?
Yes. Each DOG chain sling is supplied with a metal load tag showing chain size, sling length, Working Load Limit, and a unique serial number for traceability.
Important Safety Information
- Use only by trained and qualified personnel.
- Never exceed the Working Load Limit.
- Observe proper sling angle limitations — Working Load Limits decrease as sling angles become flatter (below 60°).
- Inspect chain, master link, and grab hooks before each use.
- Remove from service if damage, deformation, or overloading is suspected.
