Adjustable Chain Sling – High-Performance Adjustable Lifting Chains for Precision Rigging

An adjustable chain sling is one of the most versatile and flexible lifting solutions in modern rigging. Unlike fixed-length chain slings, an adjustable chain sling allows operators to change the working length of each chain leg using a shortening clutch or adjust-a-link system. This improves control, load balance, and safety during lifting operations.

At TOPONE CHAIN, we manufacture premium-grade G80 and G100 adjustable lifting chains engineered for heavy-duty performance across construction, machinery installation, logistics, shipbuilding, and industrial material handling. Our slings follow global standards, including EN 818-4, ASME B30.9, and are proof-load tested for maximum safety.




What Is an Adjustable Chain Sling?

An adjustable chain sling is a chain lifting assembly that allows modification of chain leg length through shortening clutches (adjusters).
This system is also known as an:

adjust-a-link chain sling

adjustable lifting chain sling

variable-length chain sling

Typical configuration includes:

Master link for crane hook attachment

1–4 chain legs made of alloy steel

Shortening clutch to adjust chain length

Hooks or shackles for load connection

Identification tag for WLL & certification

This design makes adjustable chain slings ideal for irregular loads, uneven lifting points, and multi-angle rigging.
