Grade 80 5/16″X12′ Chain Sling Double Leg with Sling Hooks 7800 LBS Capacity

Description

Product Overview

The Grade 80 5/16″ chain sling by Yellow Lifting is engineered for the most demanding lifting applications where safety, strength, and durability are paramount. Crafted from premium Grade 80 alloy chain, each link meets rigorous industry standards, delivering a rated capacity of 7,800 pounds when used at a 60° angle. The double‑leg configuration distributes load evenly, reducing stress on the load and the lifting equipment, and providing a stable, balanced lift for a wide range of heavy objects.

Every sling is finished with a bright yellow paint over a zinc‑plated base, creating a corrosion‑resistant barrier that stands up to harsh environments such as outdoor construction sites, marine settings, and chemical plants. The vibrant color also enhances visibility, helping operators quickly identify the correct sling among other rigging gear. An aluminum tag is permanently affixed to each sling, clearly displaying the capacity ratings for 60°, 45°, and 30° angles—7,800 lb, 6,300 lb, and 4,500 lb respectively—so users can select the appropriate configuration with confidence.

Designed with a 12‑foot reach, the sling provides ample distance between the upper and lower bearing points, allowing for flexible positioning of the load and reducing the need for additional extension equipment. The 5/16″ chain size offers a balance of strength and flexibility, making it suitable for both static lifts and dynamic operations where load movement is expected. The sling’s robust construction also includes reinforced eye loops and high‑grade shackles that meet or exceed OSHA and ASME standards, ensuring compliance with safety regulations across multiple industries.

Yellow Lifting’s commitment to quality is reflected in the meticulous testing each sling undergoes before it reaches the customer. From tensile strength verification to fatigue testing under cyclic loads, every product is validated to perform reliably under real‑world conditions. This rigorous quality assurance process, combined with the brand’s reputation for engineering excellence, makes the Grade 80 double‑leg chain sling a trusted choice for professionals who cannot afford compromise.

Usage

In construction, the Grade 80 double‑leg chain sling is ideal for hoisting steel beams, precast concrete panels, and heavy machinery components. Its high load capacity and flexible reach enable crews to lift and position large structural elements with precision, reducing the time and labor required for assembly. The sling’s durable finish also withstands exposure to dust, moisture, and temperature extremes commonly encountered on job sites.

Shipyards and marine repair facilities benefit from the sling’s corrosion‑resistant coating, which protects the chain from saltwater spray and humid conditions. Whether securing cargo containers, lifting engine blocks, or handling heavy deck equipment, the sling’s reliable performance minimizes the risk of chain failure, enhancing overall safety for dockworkers and vessel crews.

Industrial manufacturers use the sling for equipment maintenance, such as removing and installing heavy pumps, compressors, and turbines. The clear capacity markings allow technicians to quickly verify that the sling is suitable for the specific load angle, preventing over‑loading and ensuring compliance with safety protocols. Routine inspection is straightforward: operators can visually assess the chain for wear, check the integrity of the eye loops, and confirm that the paint coating remains intact.

Why Choose Us

Yellow Lifting has built a legacy of delivering high‑performance lifting solutions that meet the exacting standards of demanding industries. Our Grade 80 chain slings are manufactured in state‑of‑the‑art facilities where each batch of alloy steel is sourced from vetted suppliers and subjected to comprehensive testing. This dedication to material quality ensures that every sling provides consistent strength, elongation resistance, and long‑term durability.

The yellow‑painted zinc‑plated finish is more than an aesthetic choice; it is a functional feature that dramatically extends the service life of the sling. By shielding the underlying steel from oxidation, the coating reduces maintenance intervals and lowers total ownership cost. Additionally, the bright color improves safety on busy work sites by making the sling instantly recognizable, thereby reducing the chance of accidental misuse.

Our commitment to customer satisfaction goes beyond product delivery. We offer technical support from experienced lifting specialists who can advise on proper sling selection, load calculations, and safe operating procedures. Should any issue arise, our responsive after‑sales service provides prompt assistance, replacement parts, and warranty coverage that reflects our confidence in the product’s reliability.

FAQ

What is the maximum load capacity at different angles?

The sling is rated for 7,800 lb at a 60° angle, 6,300 lb at 45°, and 4,500 lb at 30°. These ratings are clearly marked on the aluminum tag attached to each sling, allowing users to select the appropriate capacity based on the lift angle.

Can the sling be used in marine or offshore applications?

Yes. The zinc‑plated base combined with the yellow paint creates a corrosion‑resistant barrier that protects the chain from saltwater exposure, making it suitable for shipyard, offshore platform, and coastal construction projects.

How do I inspect the sling for safe reuse?

Before each use, examine the chain links for signs of wear, deformation, or cracks. Verify that the eye loops are free of distortion and that the paint coating is intact. Check the attached tag to ensure the capacity markings are legible. Any sling showing damage should be removed from service immediately.

Is the sling compatible with standard shackles and hooks?

The sling’s eye loops are designed to work with standard Grade 80 shackles, hooks, and lifting eyes. Ensure that the connecting hardware also meets or exceeds the sling’s rated capacity for the intended lift angle.

What warranty does Yellow Lifting provide?

Yellow Lifting offers a one‑year limited warranty covering material defects and workmanship. If a defect is identified within the warranty period, we will repair or replace the sling at no cost, provided it has been used in accordance with the manufacturer’s guidelines.
