Safe Lifting – with the 2-Leg Dolezych Heavy-Duty Chain Sling

When you need to move heavy components, machinery, or structural elements safely using two lifting points, you need a sling that’s robust and fully compliant with industry standards. Our 2-leg chain sling, nominal size 16, made from Grade 8 steel, meets these demands with confidence. With a lifting capacity of 11,200 kg at angles up to 45° and 8000 kg from 45° to 60°, it’s ideally suited for heavy-duty lifting tasks – compact to handle, powerful in performance.

For Heavy Loads and Maximum Safety

The round steel chain is made of high-strength alloyed steel, manufactured according to DIN EN 818-2. Each of the two legs is fitted with a GS-DD clevis hook with safety latch, enabling fast and secure attachment. The double-leg configuration ensures even load distribution, giving you more control and reducing the risk of tilting during lifting. The compact 1 m usable length allows for precise and stable load handling.
