  1. Using an Endless Basket Sling to Overhead Lifting helpsfortech.com/using-an-endless-basket-sling-to-overhead-lifting For years the 2 leg chain sling has been a favorite with contractors and others involved in the industrial lifting industry. In fact, most people that work in the construction trade have heard of this device at one time or another. The reason for this is the simple fact that they provide a safe and secure method to move heavy equipment around. And they are able to do so without causing any damage to the person using the device. The history of the 2-leg chain sling actually dates back several decades. It was developed in the early 1950’s as a way to use adjustable chain weights as a means to increase the lifting capacity of industrial cranes. Many types of cranes were being used in the back then, including the double girder crane. In order to be able to lift the crane with an increase in the lifting capacity, the chains were created. They have been used ever since as a safe alternative to chain pullers. The different types of 2-leg chain sling There are several different uses of the 2-leg chain. The most common type is a rigging chain which is similar to the industrial lifting equipment . However, the difference is that the rigging chains have been designed to be used as grab hooks. Using them can help you to transfer loads from one area to another safely and securely. There are many companies that make these chain sling fittings. These include International Chain Slinging, Ltd, American Chain & Dock Company, Wm Ohs, Inc., and Associated Marine Products, Inc. All of these companies have various products available that will meet your needs. In fact, there is even a product manufactured by a company based out of Canada that will also meet your needs. They call it the Canadian 2 leg chain sling. 1/2

  2. The adjustable chain slings are a little different than the chain rigging slings. The adjustable ones have the ability to change the length to what you need. There is an endless basket that can be adjusted so that you will never get caught short in any situation. When you are working with a long wire, this will allow you to make sure that you do not over extend yourself. Even working at heights, you will find that this is the best way to lift an injured person. How these 2-leg chain sling are used? With both of the chain-lifting slings, you are going to want to use some type of grab. This grab should be either an elbow grab or a shoulder grab. You should also make sure that you have plenty of leverage so that you are not too much of a risk of falling from your work platform. If you are working with a person that is heavy, you will need to make sure that they are secured on the platform. This will require you to have additional grab fittings like the grab handles. The adjustable double basket sling chain lifting system is one that is very popular and works well for many different types of applications. They are designed to be very easy to use and operate and have a lot of strength and durability. This means that they will hold up to the most rigorous work conditions and even be able to withstand falls from above. You will want to remember that while they are ideal for rigging applications, they can also be used to help raise and lower people. It is important to make sure that the person is properly secured on the platform and that there are no gaps between them and the ground. Many operators who use a two legs overhead lifting system will tell you that they are easy to use and once you get the hang of it, you will never want to go back to one leg overhead lifting again. These systems are perfect for rigging and other industries where you need to keep your victims secure until you have the time or place for another method of lifting. They are a safe and secure way to work and make sure your job is done right every time. If you are serious about working in this industry, consider using a good brand name such as Underlayment or Chianuri to help you with your installation needs. One can easily buy these equipment from websites like ukliftingstore.co.uk. 2/2
