MTN Chain Slider

Chain sliders, also known as chain runners or chain crawlers, are a cable management tool. The MTN Chain Slider (MTN CS) was developed by MTN's in-house engineers and product specialists to solve a common problem with traditional chain sliders: no adjustability due to a fixed size.

The MTN CS is an ergonomically designed chain slider for use with most brands of electric chain hoists, including the CM Lodestar and Prostar. Its interchangeable insert system allows all standard chain sizes to fit precisely, so a single set of MTN Chain Sliders can be used across a variety of chains, cable wire ropes, or synthetic lines used in hoisting devices, giving you an all-in-one cable management solution.

Supplied with or without MTN Chain Slider Inserts.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between the Singular Piece and Complete Kit options?
The Singular Piece is the slider body only, while the Complete Kit includes the body plus all 3 insert sizes, covering the full range of standard chain diameters in one purchase. Choose the Complete Kit if you don't already own MTN Chain Slider Inserts.
What does the MTN Chain Slider actually do, and do I need one?
The MTN Chain Slider prevents the excess chain hanging below an electric chain hoist from tangling, kinking, or dropping loose links onto the stage floor. If you're rigging with electric chain hoists and have loose chain hanging below the load, a chain slider keeps that chain neatly coiled and controlled as it's raised or lowered.
Why does the MTN Chain Slider use interchangeable inserts instead of a fixed size?
Most chain sliders on the market only fit one specific chain diameter, so a rigging fleet using multiple hoist brands or chain sizes needs a different slider for each one. The MTN Chain Slider's interchangeable insert system (Yellow, Blue, Red) lets a single slider body adapt to different chain diameters, cutting down on how many different SKUs you need to stock and track.
How many MTN Chain Sliders do I need for one hoist chain, and can I install them without tools?
It's recommended to use one MTN Chain Slider approximately every one metre of chain, so the total depends on your hoist's lift height. No tools are required for installation or removal, which matters most when installing at height above a stage rather than at ground level.
