Safe Lifting – with the 4-Leg Dolezych Chain Sling for Maximum Loads

When lifting the heaviest components, safety and precision are essential. The 4-leg Dolezych chain sling, nominal size 16, made from Grade 8 high-strength steel, is designed precisely for such demanding applications. With a lifting capacity of 17,000 kg at inclination angles up to 45° and 11,800 kg between 45° and 60°, and a usable length of 2 m, it’s the perfect solution for heavy steel construction, power plant assembly, and industrial maintenance.

Four Legs – Maximum Stability for Heavy-Duty Applications
The round steel chains are made from high-strength alloyed steel in compliance with DIN EN 818-2. Each of the four legs is fitted with a GS-DD clevis hook with safety latch, allowing for fast, simple, and secure attachment to the load. The 4-leg configuration guarantees balanced load distribution, even when handling oversized, asymmetrical, or rotation-sensitive components. The 6 m chain length adds flexibility for high-positioned cranes or deep lifting points.
