Specifications — Full Dimensions by Size
This is below the 5:1 commonly specified for wire rope and synthetic sling systems (4:1 is standard for alloy chain components under ASME B30.9). Where a 5:1 column is shown it is SlingCenter’s derate — the manufacturer’s figure remains the rating of record.
| Size | WLL 4:1 (lb)(t) | WLL 5:1(lb)(t) SlingCenter derate | Weight (lb)(kg) | a (in)(mm) | b (in)(mm) | c (in)(mm) | d (in)(mm) | e (in)(mm) | f (in)(mm) | g (in)(mm) | h (in)(mm) | i (in)(mm) | j (in)(mm) | Stock # |

| 2 t | 4,4092 | 3,5271.6 | 4.652.11 | 6.34161 | 2.4462 | 1.8547 | 1.2632 | 1.3835 | 3.794 | 4.37111 | 8.74222 | 0.7118 | 0.6316 | GPXLS60 |
The 4:1 column is the manufacturer’s published Working Load Limit and is the rating of record — the figure marked on the product. The 5:1 column is calculated by SlingCenter as WLL × 4 ÷ 5, for comparison against components rated at the 5:1 commonly specified for wire rope and synthetic sling systems. It is always the lower of the two. We never restate a Working Load Limit upward. Pound figures are converted by SlingCenter from the manufacturer’s metric rating at 1 t = 2,204.62 lb and rounded down — a unit conversion only, not a change of rating. The metric figure is the rating of record. Lowercase t is the metric tonne (1,000 kg / 2,204.62 lb), the manufacturer’s own notation — not the US short ton. Size is the manufacturer’s nominal trade size and does not change between unit views — this part is ordered and stamped by that size in every market; the millimetre figure beside it is the equivalent, not a different size.

Governing Standards
- ASME B30.9 — slings (web, round, wire rope, chain) inspection and use
- ASME B30.26 — rigging hardware (shackles, eye bolts, links, turnbuckles)
- ASME B30.10 — hooks
- OSHA 1910.184 and 1926.251 — general industry and construction sling safety
- WSTDA WS-2 and RS-1 — web and round sling design
- 49 CFR 393.102 to 393.130 — DOT cargo tie-down
- NACM — welded steel chain grade specs
Inspection & Safety
Before every use: visual check for cracks, corrosion, distortion, wear, and illegible markings. Annually (minimum): documented periodic inspection by a trained inspector. Remove from service at first sign of damage. Never repair rigging hardware by welding, heating, or bending.
WARNING: Improper use of rigging can cause death or serious injury. Never exceed the rated Working Load Limit. Apply derating for side-loading, elevated temperature, or chemical exposure. Final application decisions must be made by a Qualified Person per OSHA 1926.32(m).
