What is the chain length of the 10k sling set?

• A. 12 FT
• B. 8 FT
• C. 6 FT
• D. 10 FT

Answer: (A)

Chain length defines how far the sling can reach to wrap around a load and position the hookup points safely for the lift. For a 10k (10,000 lb working load limit) sling set, the standard configuration is a 12-foot chain length. This length provides enough reach to rig most loads while keeping the hardware accessible and the lift angles under better control. Shorter lengths like 6 or 8 feet restrict reach, can force steeper sling angles, and make rigging more awkward or unsafe in typical lifts. A 10-foot length is used in some lines, but 12 feet is the common, expected length for a 10k set in this context.
