Safe Lifting – with the 2-Leg Dolezych Chain Sling with Variable Leg Length

Want to stay flexible while lifting without compromising on certified safety? Then our 2-leg chain sling with integrated VHGS shortening hooks is exactly what you need. With a lifting capacity of 2800 kg at angles up to 45° and 2000 kg between 45° and 60°, it safely covers a wide range of standard lifting tasks. Its 1 m usable length makes it compact yet highly versatile.

Adjustable Lengths, Double the Safety

Both chain legs are made of high-strength alloyed steel according to DIN EN 818-2 and are equipped with a VHGS shortening hook each. This allows you to adjust the length directly on the sling – with no tools or reassembly required. It’s perfect for lifting asymmetrical loads or when lifting points are uneven. At the end of each leg, you’ll find a GS-DD clevis hook with safety latch – robust, secure, and easy to use.
