Functions
Key Features:
- G80 Grade: This designation indicates that the link is made of high-quality alloy steel, meeting stringent standards for strength and durability.
- European Design: The European design is characterized by a specific shape and locking mechanism, ensuring a secure connection.
- Hammerlock Mechanism: This mechanism provides a reliable locking system, preventing accidental disengagement.
- Proof Tested: The link is proof tested to 2.5 times its Working Load Limit (WLL), verifying its strength and reliability.
- Heat Treated: The steel is heat treated for optimal strength and durability.
- Clear Load Ratings: The link is stamped with its WLL, ensuring It’s used within its safe capacity.
The Lifmex Connecting Link is a durable and versatile lifting accessory designed for heavy-duty applications. Made from high-strength alloy steel, it is quenched and tempered for enhanced toughness and reliability. The connecting link is painted green for easy identification and corrosion resistance. It is suitable for use with Grade 80 chains and wire rope slings. Each connecting link is proof load tested to twice its working load limit (WLL) to ensure safety and performance. Available in various sizes, it accommodates different chain diameters and load capacities. This connecting link is ideal for use in construction, manufacturing, and industrial settings. Replacement parts are readily available to maintain its functionality.
Key Features
Specific Functions:
Connecting Chains and Slings:
-
- It joins chains of different lengths or types.
- It connects chains to other lifting components like hooks, shackles, or rings.
Creating Custom Lifting Configurations:
-
- It allows for flexibility in creating custom lifting configurations to suit various load shapes and weights.
Ensuring Load Security:
-
- The robust design and secure locking mechanism ensure that the connected components remain firmly in place, preventing accidental disengagement and load slippage.
Distributing Load:
-
- It helps distribute the load evenly across the connected components, reducing stress on individual parts.
