Multi Ring – Thiele TWN0809 GK8, a precision-engineered lifting component built for heavy-duty rigging. Crafted to exacting German standards and fully compliant with EN1677, this 16mm multi-ring assembly delivers reliable load distribution, secure attachment, and long-term performance in demanding lifting applications.

Why this multi-ring stands out

• German engineering, proven reliability: Made in Germany by Thiele, a name synonymous with high-strength lifting hardware and field-tested endurance.
• EN1677 compliance: Designed to meet international standards for lifting equipment, ensuring compatibility with accredited shackles, chains, and chain slings used in industrial operations.
• Grade 80 construction: Built to handle demanding loads with enhanced toughness and resistance to wear in real-world rigging.
• 16mm size with 3-4Leg configuration: Optimized for complex lifting patterns where load must be shared across multiple anchor points, reducing peak stress and improving control during lifts.
• High working load limit (WLL): 17.00 tonnes for the 16mm variant, making it suitable for heavy lift scenarios where safety margins and reliability matter most.
• Integrated, purpose-built design: The GK8 multi-ring geometry provides secure engagement, stable load transfer, and ease of use in temporary rigging setups.

Ideal use cases

• Overhead lifting and load positioning where a single point isn’t sufficient or where precise load distribution is required.
• Rigging configurations that demand multiple attachment points to achieve balanced loading and controlled movement.
• Temporary lifting assemblies on construction, industrial maintenance, and equipment installation projects.

What makes this Thiele multi-ring different from common alternatives

• It combines EN1677 compliance with Grade 80 toughness, delivering a higher level of reliability in critical lifts compared with generic hardware.
• The 16mm, 3-4Leg configuration is purpose-built for complex lift scenarios where load sharing is essential, rather than a simple single-ring solution.
• German manufacturing quality and rigorous engineering support translate into predictable performance under heavy loads and varied angles.

Practical tips for best results

• Before use, verify the WLL is appropriate for the load and angle of lift; never exceed the rated limit.
• Inspect for any signs of deformation, corrosion, or wear after each job—retire the component if any doubt exists about integrity.
• Pair with compatible EN1677-certified slings and hardware to maintain overall system safety and performance.
• Use appropriate anti-slip or locking methods to prevent movement between connecting points during lifts.
