Shop Chain SlingsHolloway Houston offers different chain slings , each designed for specific applications. Understanding the various configurations can help you choose the sling best suited to your lifting needs. We offer three types of slings: Standard, Adjustable, and Endless Basket.
Single-chain slings are ideal for heavy vertical lifts and lighter loads. They simplify and efficiently perform lifting operations.
The available configurations of Single Chain Slings include:
Double-chain slings improve stability by distributing the load across two legs, making them ideal for heavier applications.
The configurations of Double Chain Slings include:
Triple-chain slings are designed for more complex or uneven loads that require additional support.
Options of Triple Chain Slings include:
For maximum stability and load distribution, quadruple chain slings are essential when lifting the heaviest or most awkward loads.
Variants of Quadruple Chain Slings include:
Endless basket chain slings are designed for balanced lifting by evenly distributing the weight across multiple points. These slings come in two configurations: single endless basket, where one length of chain forms the body and attaches to the oblong master link, and double endless basket, where two lengths of chain are each connected to separate oblong links, which are then joined to a master oblong link. Both configurations make sure that the load is shared efficiently, improving the lifting process.
Adjustable chain slings allow operators to modify the length of each leg using grab hooks, making them versatile for varying load heights and angles. This flexibility is beneficial in dynamic work environments where load sizes change frequently.
Holloway Houston understands that every lifting operation is unique. Therefore, they offer extensive customization options when ordering chain slings:
Safety is a priority in lifting operations, and Holloway Houston’s chain slings are manufactured with this in mind. Each sling undergoes rigorous proof testing and quality inspections to ensure compliance with industry safety standards. Stainless steel tags provide essential information about each sling, including size, reach, capacity, and serial number for traceability.
Holloway Houston’s chain slings are used across various industries, such as construction, oil and gas, manufacturing, and transportation. Their versatility makes them suitable for lifting heavy machinery, structural components, and irregularly shaped loads.
Holloway Houston’s types of chain slings offer great strength, flexibility, and customization options for industrial lifting operations.

Holloway Houston chain slings are customized at the time of order. Specify the sling type (standard or adjustable), number of legs, chain diameter, grade, reach, and hook end fitting. Configuration codes - SOS, DOS, DOF, and similar - identify those elements in shorthand. Stainless steel tags with size, reach, capacity, and serial number are included with each sling for traceability. To configure an order, call 888-496-4700 or Browse The Catalog Online.
Chain slings from Holloway Houston undergo proof testing and quality inspection before shipping. In the field, inspection covers all assembly components - chain links, master links, hooks, and connecting links - checking for deformation, wear, cracks, corrosion, heat discoloration, and tag legibility. Each sling tag carries the serial number and rated capacity, which is the reference for confirming the sling's identity and rating during any periodic inspection.
Grade 100 alloy steel provides approximately 25% more strength than Grade 80 at the same chain diameter. Holloway Houston manufactures all its chain slings from Grade 100 chain, assembled with Grade 100-rated fittings from Crosby, Carcano, and Yoke. In practice, that means a lighter, more manageable sling assembly can handle load weights that would require a heavier Grade 80 configuration. Component grades must match across the entire assembly - hooks, master links, and connecting links included.
Working Load Limit - WLL - is the rated capacity printed on the sling tag, representing the maximum load the assembly is designed to handle under the stated conditions. For chain slings, that rating is specific to the configuration, number of legs, and angle assumptions used in the design. WLL is kept separate from proof-test values and breaking strength, which are distinct load concepts and are not published as usable lifting capacity.
