A Single Leg Chain Sling is the simplest way to achieve secure, direct attachment when lifting machinery, fabricated components, or bundled steel. Because a single-leg configuration applies the load through one chain only, the operator maintains clear control and predictable handling throughout the lift. These single leg chain slings are widely used across UK construction, engineering, and steel handling where compact rigging and safe load positioning are essential.

Each single leg lifting chain can be built with your preferred hook type including sling hooks, self-locking hooks, swivel hooks, or clevis sling hooks depending on your load and connection point. Extra chain can be added if additional reach is required, while maintaining the rated capacity of the single leg chain sling. If you also need two-leg, three-leg or four-leg assemblies, browse our wider Chain Lifting Slings collection for multi-point configurations.

Single Leg Chain Sling Safety, Testing & Specification

Every single leg chain sling supplied is built from Grade 8 lifting chain and proof-load tested to 2.5x its working load limit, giving an additional safety margin for demanding tasks. The tough black-painted finish provides durability against wear and corrosion, helping your single-leg lifting chain maintain performance in daily workshop or site use. Temperature performance is equally important, which is why each single leg chain sling retains its working load limit from –40°C to +200°C. With capacities available for a wide range of loads, these single leg lifting chain slings provide dependable performance for rigging, handling and controlled lifting where reliability and certification matter most.
