KWB Single Leg
KWB single leg chain slings are extremely versatile since they can be used for load securing and pulling.
These KWB lifting slings should be used with vertical hitches in a lift and have a 90-degree angle of lift. Capacity varies by chain size, see each size above for the various lifting capacities.
Our slings are assembled in America with Grade 100 signal violet chain and fittings that are European-made by KWB, a Pewag company. The Grade 100 fittings have a heavy powder coating that helps with corrosion resistance.
Adjustable single leg KWB chain slings, which have an additional length-adjusting hook are also available. Adjustable slings allow the user to shorten the chain leg of as needed for a specific application, without decreasing the WLL.

These KWB single leg chain slings are manufactured with a master oblong on one end and your choice of a sling hook, self-locking hook, foundry hook, or grab hook on the other end.
