Midgrab Chain Shorteners: Heavy-Duty Solutions for Load Securement

When you’re securing a heavy load, every inch of chain matters. That’s where midgrab chain shorteners come into play. Designed for tough conditions and built to last, these durable tools ensure that your load stays tight and secure, whether you’re hauling on the highway or rigging at a construction site.

Our Gunnebo GrabIQ Midgrab Chain Shorteners are the industry standard for professional truckers and heavy equipment operators who need reliable, high-strength components to keep their cargo stable and secure. Let’s dive into what makes our lifting chain shorteners the best choice for your job.

What Are Midgrab Chain Shorteners?

Chain shorteners are essential tools used to adjust and secure chain lengths, preventing slack and maintaining tension during transport or lifting. Gunnebo chain shorteners are forged from 100-grade high-strength steel to withstand heavy loads and harsh environments.

Unlike other lifting chain shortening links, midgrab chain shorteners are designed to sit in the middle of a chain length, allowing for easy adjustments and ensuring the chain stays securely fastened. This capability makes them indispensable for professional haulers, riggers, and construction crews.

Types of Midgrab Chain Shorteners

When it comes to chain shorteners, versatility and security are key. One of the most innovative and reliable options on the market today comes from Gunnebo, a trusted name in rigging and lifting solutions. Gunnebo offers two main types of adjustable midgrab chain shorteners that cater to a wide range of heavy-duty applications: lockable and fixed options. The difference between these two functions comes from the type of pin used with the MIG (Midgrab Chain Shortener).

Close/Open Chain Shorteners

Gunnebo’s close/open chain shorteners, equipped with a locking pin, offer exceptional versatility. They can be positioned anywhere along the chain and easily removed when needed, providing flexibility for various load configurations.

Fixed Chain Shorteners

Gunnebo’s fixed midgrab chain shorteners use a fixed pin configuration, creating a permanent or semi-permanent setup where consistent chain length is required. Unlike the locking version, the fixed pin does not allow for length adjustments, making these shorteners ideal for applications where the load configuration remains constant.

Key Features of Our Chain Shorteners
