Who It Is For
Buyers Who Specify Links and Rings
- Marine and offshore contractors needing corrosion-resistant chain links and rings for anchor and mooring systems
- Lifting and rigging companies building complete chain slings with consistent load ratings and traceability
- Construction and infrastructure firms assembling chain systems for crane lifts and temporary works
- Steel fabricators and precast plants integrating chain links into lifting sets for structural components
- Industrial maintenance teams replacing worn links or rings in high-tension chain runs
Problems Solved
What Links and Rings Solve on the Job
- A chain system failing at a connection point because the link or ring was not rated for the chain size or load
- Twisting and tangling in a chain run due to a missing or undersized swivel at a critical joint
- A ring or link arriving with a finish that does not suit the environment, such as electro-galvanised in a marine setting
- No traceability on the link or ring, so it cannot be verified against the chain’s load rating or certification
- A mismatch between the chain size and the link or ring bore, creating a weak point in the system
- Reordering a single link or ring from a specialist supplier at a high cost and long lead time

Applications
Where Links and Rings Are Used
- Connecting anchor chain segments on a vessel where swivels and rings must resist saltwater corrosion and continuous load
- Assembling a chain sling for a crane lift where each link must match the chain size and be traceable to the WLL
- Building a mooring system for a floating dock where studless links and hot dip rings prevent tangling and wear
- Replacing a worn ring in a high-tension chain run on a construction site without waiting for a full chain replacement
- Integrating a chain link into a lifting set for a precast concrete beam where the ring must accept a shackle

Answers
Links and Rings FAQ
What is the difference between a stud link and a studless link?
A stud link has a protruding stud that increases strength and resists deformation under load. A studless link is smoother and more flexible, used where bending or rotation is required.
How do I choose the right link size?
Match the link’s bore diameter to the chain’s diameter. The pitch and thickness must also align with the chain’s specifications to ensure a secure connection.
What finish should I use for marine applications?
Hot dip galvanised finish is recommended for marine use due to its thick zinc coating and strong resistance to saltwater corrosion.
Do you supply certificates with links and rings?
Yes. A Material Test Certificate to EN 10204 3.1 is issued with the batch on request. Every batch is proof load tested and dimensionally checked.
Can you custom stamp tonnage or add our logo?
Yes. Custom tonnage stamping, private label marking, and coloured finishes are available. Send the marking layout and required pack format.
What is the smallest order you accept?
We accept small top-up orders for links and rings, especially when combined with other rigging items. No minimum order quantity is enforced for mixed orders.
Are these links compatible with stud link and studless chains?
Yes. The product line includes both stud link and studless designs, each sized to match standard chain diameters and types.
