5/8" x 15 ft Type CDFXA2S Adjustable 2-Leg Grade 100 Chain Sling - 39100 lbs WLL

Cartec CDFXA2S Adjustable 2-Leg Chain Sling - CBX Sling Hooks with Integrated Adjusters

The Cartec CDFXA2S Adjustable 2-Leg Chain Sling is a streamlined, high-performance lifting solution designed for fast rigging and efficient load control. Constructed from Grade 100 alloy chain, this sling features a CDFXA2 master link assembly with integrated in-line adjusters, eliminating the need for traditional grab hook shortener legs.

This configuration is fitted with Cartec CBX sling hooks, which utilize a spring-loaded “flipper” style latch for quick, easy engagement. The result is a clean, lightweight sling assembly that’s simple to use, easy to adjust, and ideal for general-purpose lifting where speed and efficiency matter.

Available in sizes from 9/32" through 5/8", with Working Load Limits ranging from 7,400 lbs to 39,100 lbs (based on a 60° sling angle), the CDFXA2S provides a balanced combination of strength, adjustability, and ease of handling.

Key Features

• Grade 100 alloy chain construction - high strength and fully certified
• CDFXA2 master link with integrated adjusters - no separate shortener legs required
• Cartec CBX sling hooks - spring-loaded “flipper” latch for quick engagement
• Streamlined 2-leg configuration - less bulk than traditional adjustable slings
• Fast, precise leg length adjustment for balancing uneven loads
• Improved handling and reduced tangling on the jobsite
• Ideal for two-point lifting and general rigging applications
• Individually serialized with metal load tag for traceability
• Load tag includes chain size, sling length, Working Load Limit, and serial number

Why Choose the CDFXA2S Configuration?

The CDFXA2S replaces traditional adjustable sling designs that rely on grab hooks and short chain legs with a more compact, integrated adjustment system. This results in a sling that is easier to handle, faster to deploy, and less prone to snagging or tangling.

The CBX sling hook offers a simple and efficient connection point, with a spring latch that allows for quick attachment and removal. This makes it especially well-suited for high-cycle lifting operations where speed and ease of use are priorities.

Grade 100 alloy chain delivers approximately 25% higher Working Load Limits than Grade 80 of the same size, allowing for increased lifting capacity without additional weight.

Understanding Sling Angle and Capacity

Working Load Limits are based on a 60° sling angle. As the sling angle decreases (legs become more horizontal), the tension on each leg increases significantly, reducing overall capacity. Always follow proper rigging charts and account for sling angle in every lift.

Typical Applications

• General construction and rigging
• Equipment and material handling
• Fabrication and shop lifting
• Precast and structural component placement
• Applications requiring frequent hook engagement/disengagement

Frequently Asked Questions

What does “S” mean?
“S” denotes a standard sling hook configuration, in this case using Cartec CBX hooks with a spring latch.

What is the CBX hook?
The Cartec CBX is a sling hook with a spring-loaded “flipper” latch designed for quick and easy connection during lifting operations.

When should I choose CBX hooks over self-locking hooks?
CBX hooks are ideal for faster, repetitive lifting tasks. For overhead lifts requiring maximum security, a self-locking hook configuration is typically preferred.

Are these slings certified?
Yes. Each sling is individually serialized and tagged with chain size, sling length, Working Load Limit, and a unique identifier.

Important Safety Information

• Use only by trained and qualified personnel.
• Never exceed the Working Load Limit.
• Account for sling angle reductions - capacity decreases below 60°.
• Inspect chain, master link assembly, adjusters, and hooks before each use.
• Ensure CBX hook latches are functioning properly and fully closed prior to lifting.
• Remove from service if any component shows signs of wear, deformation, or damage.
