Piggybacking off Peter, if you used a piece of square tubing welded 90 degrees
to the slider, you could cut slots in it and size your chain so that you could
simply pull links into the slots for easy hook up an unload...

Second the square/box tubing, much stronger since the force should be
mostly downward. For the slider you could also use a section of the
slightly larger square tubing with a hook/eye welded to it. I don't
think the final bend at the end is needed; that's only if you want the
log to remain hanging when not in motion.
