Product Overview

What The SLR094 Grade 80 Master Link Assembly Is

The master link assembly is the single point where a multi leg sling meets the crane hook. For chain slings the minimum ultimate load is four times the working load limit, and for steel rope slings it is five times.

Shandong Shenli Rigging is a well known rigging brand in China with a modern management level and the ability to manufacture medium and high grade rigging. The product range includes more than 1000 varieties, among which the G80 connecting link, G80 safety hook, G80 shortening clutch and G80 Tawgk have been patented. Carl Stahl China has cooperated with SLR for over 13 years, which is what lets us offer a more competitive price and a reasonable minimum order quantity on this range.

Key Benefits

Why Buyers Choose This Product

Every Piece Proof Tested

Individual proof testing at 2.5 times the working load limit rather than batch sampling, so each item that ships has been loaded.

Crack Detection On 100 Percent

Magnaflux crack detection is applied to every piece, which catches forging defects that a visual check cannot see.

Fatigue Tested For Repeat Use

Fatigue testing at 1.5 times the working load limit for 20000 cycles proves the item survives daily service, not just one pull.

Reasonable Minimum Order Quantity

A long standing relationship with the manufacturer gives a competitive price and a workable minimum order quantity.

Application Scenarios

Where It Is Used And Who It Is For

Application Scenarios

  • Three and four leg chain sling assemblies
  • Steel wire rope sling assemblies
  • Heavy lifting and project cargo rigging

Who It Is For

  • Chain sling assemblers and rigging houses
  • Lifting equipment distributors
  • Steel erectors and heavy contractors
  • Project buyers sourcing complete sling sets
Problems It Solves

The Sourcing Problems This Product Removes

Rigging components arrive without traceable testing

Solution. Every piece is individually proof tested at 2.5 times the working load limit, magnaflux crack detected and marked with a batch number.

Minimum order quantities are unrealistic for a distributor

Solution. The long relationship with the manufacturer gives a reasonable minimum order quantity on this range.

Components from different sources do not match

Solution. The full Grade 80 programme comes from one manufacturer, so hooks, links, master links and chain assemble as a matched set.

Use Guide

How To Use The SLR094 Grade 80 Master Link Assembly Safely

  1. Confirm the component size matches the chain size in the sling assembly.
  2. Check the marking for the size, the grade, the working load limit and the batch number before use.
  3. Withdraw any component with a crack, a deformed body, a bent pin or a missing latch.
  4. Never mix Grade 80 components with lower grade fittings in the same assembly.
  5. Keep the assembly clean and inspect it at the interval required by local regulation.
