Choosing lifting chain links
Match the link to the chain: the same grade (G80 or G100) and the same nominal chain size as the chain it joins. Each product lists its sizes as variants, so choose the size from the chain diameter on the sling or hoist. Then choose the type for the job: a connector to join chain, a master link to bring multiple legs together, a clevis end pinlock or omega link to attach a leg to other hardware, and a shortening clutch to adjust leg length.
These are lifting components, so every part in a sling should be matched in grade and rated for the load. Do not mix grades or use hardware that is not rated for lifting.
Always check the data sheet. Confirm the grade, working load limit and marking against the requirements for your lifting job before use. Lifting equipment should be selected and inspected by a competent person.
