Why Choose SSS Grade 100 Chain Slings?
The SSS configuration is ideal when secure, latched hook connections are required on both ends of the sling. This design enhances load retention and is commonly selected for applications where shifting, repositioning, or transport security are concerns.
Grade 100 alloy chain delivers approximately 25% higher Working Load Limits compared to Grade 80 chain of the same diameter — providing greater lifting capacity without increasing sling weight.
Typical Applications
- Construction and structural steel lifting
- Equipment and machinery handling
- Industrial maintenance operations
- Rigging and overhead lifting
- Load securement and transport tie-down applications
