Our strong and unique multifunctional GrabiQ system has increased its flexibility to a higher level

...yet more flexible GrabiQ FlexiLeg GrabiQ FlexiLeg is a flexible chain sling solution with instant leg interchange, where one single master link and a combination of five legs replaces four slings, which is equal to ten legs with the traditional system (a 50 % reduction!). By using the unique features of the GrabiQ range, Gunnebo Lifting has increased the flexibility of lifting with chain slings even further.

The required components are drastically reduced with the introduction of the GrabiQ system. GrabiQ FlexiLeg takes this one step further by also reducing the required chain legs. Total number of top components (full shorthening function): Traditional system (4 slings): up to 38 components GrabiQ FlexiLeg: 4 components

...yet more safety FlexiLeg ID tag The GrabiQ FlexiLeg ID tag is specially and uniquely designed for the FlexiLeg system. The user will always know how much they may lift when using different numbers of chain legs. This will increase safety since it minimises the risk for misunderstanding when adding or removing chain legs. Pre-marked front face with working load limits for 1- to 4-legged slings.
Space on the back face for the sling manufacturer and the user to mark their specifications.

Each chain leg should be equipped with a sub ID tag that associates the chain legs with the master link.

Safer job – less equipment GrabiQ FlexiLeg will give you the following benefits: – Increased flexibility and time saving Required number of chain legs is always available. The shortening function is always there, at the top or wherever needed on the chain (by using the MidGrab shortener). – Less equipment needed GrabiQ FlexiLeg and the MidGrab Shortener minimise the equipment needed, reducing weight and saves cost. – Improved safety - There is no more uncertainty of how much to safely lift when using 1-4 chain legs; all working loads are given on the sling tag. - A chain leg not in use can swing and hit the rigger. GrabiQ FlexiLeg takes away this risk. - Built-in shortening function makes it possible to always lift with the load in balance. - Cost savings GrabiQ FlexiLeg minimises the equipment needed, saves time when lifting by its versatility and less wear points reduces inspection time, all of which will save you costs!

Gunnebo Lifting - GrabiQ The all-inclusive chain sling system for coupling, shortening and lifting in grade 10. Gunnebo GrabiQ sling system is designed to improve and make your lifting as quick and easy as possible. GrabiQ means for example: • All top assemblies consist of no more than three components. • Shortening function of chain legs is integral with no extra components. • 25 % additional strength in working load compared to grade 8. One of the main advantages of the GrabiQ system is that the work involved in connecting, adjusting and checking the lift takes less time and can be carried out more easily. The inclusive shortening function, for example, means that a four-legged sling which previously required up to thirteen different top components now needs only three in the GrabiQ system.
