Tycan® Synthetic Chain will be well served by Lift-It and their team of North American Master Distributors who will do much more than simply sell Tycan® products, but provide training as well as documenting the ongoing value propositions that make Tycan® Chain the adjustable option for properly trained and informed riggers and transportation professionals”.

Tycan® Synthetic Load Handling Chain and Tycan® Chain components are used to fabricate Single, Double, Triple and Four Leg – Adjustable Chain Sling Assemblies with capacities ranging from 3,400 to 23,000 lbs.
