* warning.GIF (507 bytes) Working Load Limits should not be exceeded.

To determine which chain size and leg style are best suited to your requirements - use this working load limit table as a guide. The table gives the working load limits of 9/32" through 1 1/4" Accoloy Chain in 1, 2, 3, and 4 leg styles. You know the maximum load (or loads) you will  lift and the angle of lift involved - working to the left from these loads and angles gives you the proper chain size for your sling. Working Load Limits of the chain and components is established as pounds applied at the indicated degrees from horizontal.
