2-leg chain sling, Grade 80, size 13-8, length adjustable

Safe Lifting – with the 2-Leg Dolezych Chain Sling for Heavy Loads with Adjustable Length

When lifting heavy components, you don’t just need power – you need flexibility. That’s where our 2-leg chain sling, nominal size 13, made from Grade 8 steel, comes in. Equipped with VHGS shortening hooks, it offers a lifting capacity of 7500 kg at angles up to 45° and 5300 kg between 45° and 60°. The generous usable length of 3 m gives you extra reach while maintaining precise load control.

Two Legs – Individually Adjustable

The round steel chains are made of high-strength alloyed steel, produced to DIN EN 818-2. Each leg is fitted with a VHGS shortening hook, allowing you to adapt the chain length to lifting points of different heights – quickly, tool-free, and on site. At the end of each leg, the proven GS-DD clevis hook with safety latch ensures a secure connection to the load – even in complex lifting situations.
