Alloy Chain Sling Load Capacity Chart
Alloy Chain Sling Load Capacity Chart – Complete Guide for 1-Leg, 2-Leg, 3-Leg & 4-Leg Slings
When it comes to heavy lifting operations in industries, alloy chain slings are one of the most reliable and durable lifting solutions. Whether you’re in construction, shipping, manufacturing, or heavy engineering, knowing the correct load capacity of your chain sling is essential for safe and efficient lifting.
In this blog, we will explain what alloy chain slings are, the different types (1-leg, 2-leg, 3-leg & 4-leg), and why working load limit (WLL) changes with sling configuration and angle. You’ll also find the complete load capacity chart in the table section below.
| Chain Dia (mm) | 1-Leg WLL | 2-Leg WLL @ 0–45° | 2-Leg WLL @ 45–60° | 3 & 4-Leg WLL @ 0–45° | 3 & 4-Leg WLL @ 45–60° |
| 6 mm | 1.12 t | 1.94 t | 1.58 t | 2.87 t | 2.34 t |
| 7 mm | 1.50 t | 2.60 t | 2.12t | 3.84 t | 3.14 t |
| 8 mm | 2.00 t | 3.47 t | 2.83 t | 5.12 t | 4.18 t |
| 10 mm | 3.15 t | 5.48 t | 4.47 t | 8.10 t | 6.61 t |
| 13 mm | 5.30 t | 9.22 t | 7.52 t | 13.6 t | 11.1 t |
| 16 mm | 8.00 t | 13.9 t | 11.3 t | 20.4 t | 16.6 t |

| 22 mm | 15.0 t | 26.1 t | 21.4 t | 38.2 t | 31.0 t |
| 26 mm | 21.2 t | 36.9 t | 30.3 t | 54.0 t | 43.8 t |
| 32 mm | 31.5 t | 54.8 t | 45.0 t | 80.0 t | 65.0 t |
What is an Alloy Chain Sling?
An alloy chain sling is a lifting device made from high-strength alloy steel chains, designed for handling heavy loads in harsh conditions. Grade 80 and Grade 100 alloy chains are most commonly used because they offer high tensile strength, durability, and resistance to wear.
Types of Alloy Chain Sling Configurations
- 1-Leg Chain Sling – Single chain leg with hook; ideal for vertical lifting of balanced loads.
- 2-Leg Chain Sling – Two chain legs; suitable for lifting wider loads with better stability.
- 3-Leg Chain Sling – Three chain legs for irregular or unbalanced loads.
- 4-Leg Chain Sling – Four chain legs for maximum stability when lifting very large loads.
Why Choose Quality Alloy Chain Slings?
A high-quality alloy chain sling is an nvestment in safety and efficiency. Poor-quality or uncertified slings can fail under load, leading to costly damage and serious injuries.
