dead hung

This term generally means that the equipment is not moveable. In the sense of a chain lift, it means the same as your source: that the load is borne by a fixed support, and not by the lifting chain.

German term (edited): \"tot\" gehängt

strain relieved

totgehängt is colloquial tech talk in German. Any load hanging from somewhere can be totgehängt, the corresponding English term is *strain relieved* or *with strain relief*.
Example sentence:

Our motors have been carefully modified with strain relief and handles to make them as \
