KWB Adjustable Slings

KWB adjustable chain lifting slings look similar to standard lifting slings, as they're comprised of one, two, three, or four legs of chain with a hook at each end and a master oblong at the top. However, an adjustable sling features additional shortener fittings that are attached right to the master link. These allow the operator to adjust the length of the chain legs as needed, without compromising lifting strength and working load limit.

KWB adjustable chain slings have a signal violet varnish coat and a heavy powder coating that helps with corrosion resistance. KWB is a Pewag company, a well-respected manufacturer based in Europe. We import and expertly assemble their manufactured chain and end fittings into the high-quality adjustable chain slings you see here.

Proof Testing

Proof testing has been done on every link of chain to 2.5 times its working load limit. To get your custom chain sling tested at the time of manufacture, it must be requested when the order is placed with our sales specialists. For an additional fee, we will proof test your sling and issue a certificate when requested at the time the order is placed.

All of our chain meets or exceeds the latest guidelines of the National Association of Chain Manufacturers (NACM), ANSI B30.9 standards and OSHA specifications.
