• Chain grade and material: Alloy steel slings, including alloy steel chain slings, offer superior strength and wear resistance.
• Working load limit (WLL): Always choose a sling with a WLL rated above the heaviest load you intend to lift.
• Adjustability: Adjustable chain slings like the 4 leg adjustable chain sling allow flexibility in lifting angles and load distribution.
• Length and attachment type: Ensure the chain sling is the correct length for your rigging setup and compatible with hooks or lifting points.

Properly matched slings improve safety, efficiency, and load control during lifting or recovery operations.
