USL G100 — universal endless Grade 100 chain sling for heavy-duty lifting
The USL G100 is an endless (closed-loop) chain sling manufactured from Grade 100 lifting chain and fittings. Compared to G80, it is 25% stronger while lighter, making it ideal for handling heavy, oversized loads, loads with sharp edges, and loads with an off-center center of gravity.
The sling complies with EN 818-4, is MPI (magnetic particle) tested, has a safety factor of 4:1, and is designed to operate in temperatures from −40 °C to +400 °C. Within the range −40…+200 °C, the sling retains 100% of its rated Working Load Limit (WLL). Depending on chain diameter, the capacity may reach up to 42 tons.
Why the endless (ring) design matters
The endless configuration allows multiple hitch methods without additional legs or connectors:
-
choker hitch
-
basket hitch
-
wrap-around hitch
-
multi-point load contact
-
handling loads with shifted center of gravity
The chain ends are joined by a Grade 100 connecting link (“butterfly link”), ensuring even load distribution across the sling.
Typical applications of USL G100 chain sling
This sling is used where textile or wire rope slings wear out quickly or cannot withstand the environment:
-
metallurgy and high-temperature workshops
-
marine and river ports, rigging operations
-
construction and installation sites
-
warehouses, logistics, and industrial facilities
-
outdoor, wet, and aggressive environments
It performs reliably in contact with sharp steel edges, concrete products, heavy equipment, and structures.
Advantages of the USL G100 endless chain sling
Higher strength Grade 100
Lift the same loads as G80 with less sling weight, or lift heavier loads with the same chain size.
Versatile hitch configurations
One sling replaces several multi-leg sling options.
High-temperature resistance
Safe operation up to +400 °C.
Wear, impact, and deformation resistance
Chain links resist abrasion and mechanical damage.
Long service life and repairability
Individual components can be replaced instead of discarding the whole sling.
Flexible and compact for storage
Easy to fold and transport.
Operational notes and limitations
-
heavier than textile and wire rope slings
-
may mark painted or delicate surfaces
-
not intended for sharp dynamic (shock) loading
-
requires regular visual inspection of links
For fragile loads or finished surfaces, soft slings are recommended.
