Safe Lifting – with the Dolezych Heavy-Duty Chain Sling with Length Adjustment

If you regularly lift heavy loads and need maximum flexibility, this chain sling is exactly what you're looking for. Our single-leg chain sling, nominal size 13, comes with an integrated VHGS shortening hook and is made from premium Grade 8 steel. With a lifting capacity of 5300 kg and an adjustable length of 1 m, it's the ideal solution for demanding heavy-duty lifting tasks – safe, powerful, and adaptable.

Flexible Technology for Demanding Applications

The round steel chain is manufactured from high-strength alloyed steel according to DIN EN 818-2. The robust VHGS shortening hook lets you adjust the chain length directly at the load – with no reassembly or extra components required. That makes this sling especially efficient when handling asymmetrical loads or changing lifting points. The GS-DD clevis sling hook ensures quick and secure load attachment – even under tough conditions.
