Chain shortening hook with fork connector

A chain shortening hook with a fork connector is used to change the length of the chain, which allows you to use one sling to work with loads of various sizes. The limiter is not an end element of the lines and is attached separately to the link using a connecting link.

A shortening hook with a fork connector (length limiter) is used to change the length of the chain (branches in chain slings). This allows you to use one sling to work with loads of various sizes.

The limiter is not an end element of the lines and is attached to an additional branch using a connecting link.

This hook model is a budget version of the shortener, it is less convenient than the “claw” analogue of DHA, since it works “for breaking” the chain, and not “for stretching”. This reduces the durability of the use of slings, since over time the link is deformed from the additional load during the jerk. However, such a hook is quite suitable for low-intensity work on setting the length of the chains.

The hook is selected depending on the size of the chain links.
