The Gunnebo GrabiQ System
The GrabiQ system is a specialized chain sling solution that streamlines rigging configurations by combining multiple functions into fewer components. This innovative approach makes it faster and more efficient to build adjustable chain slings with fewer parts and easier traceability.
Key GrabiQ components include:
- MG Master Links – Designed for single-leg adjustable slings, combining the master link and adjuster into a single forged piece.
- MGD Master Links – The two-leg version of the MG, offering the same integrated adjuster design in a dual-leg configuration.
- MF and MFX Couplers – Secure and quick connections for assembling chain slings or connecting hardware.
GrabiQ makes rigging more adaptable without compromising on strength or safety—perfect for crews who want flexibility without extra hardware.
