Curated by The Shelf Curator · Updated June 2026
Built for industrial riggers and arborists who need tension-certified gear for overhead lifting and fall arrest. Not for general hardware store use — this shop focuses on load-rated equipment that meets OSHA and ASME standards.
Curator's pick: 2-Leg Adjustable Chain Sling with Grab Hooks 5/16"
The Grade 100 alloy is noticeably tougher than standard transport chain, and the built-in grab hooks allow for precise leg balancing without needing extra hardware that adds weight to the hitch.
⚠ Worth knowing: These static and kernmantle ropes are designed for stability and descent, not for dynamic lead climbing; using them to stop a free-fall without a compatible energy absorber will result in dangerous impact forces.

Set Up Your Core Lifting System
Begin by deploying the 2-Leg Adjustable Chain Sling with Grab Hooks 5/16". Ensure it is properly rated for your load and securely attached. The grab hooks allow for precise length adjustments, so set them to balance the load and maintain optimal lifting angles, which prevents uneven stress.
