Product Configuration Code

• D = Double Leg

• O = Oblong Master Link

• G = Grab Hook

DOG therefore refers to a Double Leg Chain Sling fitted with an Oblong Master Link on the top and Grab Hooks on the bottom.

Product Identification

Each sling is permanently identified with:

• Individual Serial Number

• Chain Size

• Chain Grade

• Exact Sling Length

• Working Load Limit (WLL)

The serial number on the identification tag corresponds with the production certificate and sales order record, ensuring complete product traceability throughout the product life cycle.

Typical Applications

• Heavy Machinery Handling

• Structural Steel Lifting

• Equipment Installation

• Construction Projects

• Mining Maintenance

• Industrial Material Handling

All chain slings are supplied with written certification and manufactured using matching Grade 80 components to ensure compatibility throughout the lifting assembly.

Continuous Sling

Working Load Limit (WLL) for an endless chain sling configuration.

0° < a < 45°
The angle between the sling leg and the vertical is between 0° and 45°.

45° < a < 60°
The angle between the sling leg and the vertical is between 45° and 60°.

Factor
The load multiplier used to calculate the Working Load Limit for different sling configurations and lifting angles.

a
The angle between the sling leg and the vertical line.

(ton)
All values are expressed in metric tons and represent the maximum Working Load Limit (WLL).

Design Factor 4:1
The minimum breaking force of the sling assembly is at least 4 times its Working Load Limit (WLL).

90 Degrees

The sling is lifting vertically with no sling angle reduction.

60 Degrees / 45 Degrees / 30 Degrees

The angle between each sling leg and the horizontal plane. As the angle decreases, the sling capacity decreases.

Load Factor

A multiplier used to calculate the Working Load Limit based on the number of sling legs and the lifting angle.

WLL Values (lbs)
The numbers shown in the table represent the maximum Working Load Limit in pounds for each chain diameter and sling configuration.

Example:
For a 1/2" chain sling:

• 1-Leg Sling = 12,000 lbs

• 2-Leg Sling at 60° = 20,800 lbs

• 2-Leg Sling at 45° = 17,000 lbs

• 2-Leg Sling at 30° = 12,000 lbs

• 3 & 4-Leg Sling at 60° = 31,200 lbs

• 3 & 4-Leg Sling at 45° = 25,500 lbs

• 3 & 4-Leg Sling at 30° = 18,000 lbs

Note: The lifting angle shown in this table is measured from the horizontal. Smaller angles result in higher tension in each sling leg and lower overall lifting capacity.
