This 50mm Zinc Plated Oval Link from SecureFix Direct is ideal for DIY enthusiasts and professionals needing to create robust, custom webbing straps, particularly for secure vehicle transport. Its primary benefit is providing a strong connection point for wheel straps, ensuring safety and stability during transit, though it requires integration into a webbing system rather than being a standalone component. Key features include its durable zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance and specific dimensions optimized for webbing integration.

This oval link is primarily designed for creating custom webbing straps, especially for securing vehicles during transport, such as with wheel straps for cars with alloy wheels.
No, this is a component designed to be sewn into webbing. It is not a complete strap on its own.
Yellow passivation is a chemical treatment applied after zinc plating to enhance corrosion resistance and provide a distinct yellow hue.
The dimensions are A: 80mm (length), B: 11mm (thickness), C: 58mm (internal width), and D: 22mm (opening width).
Clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth and avoid abrasive cleaners. Store in a dry environment to preserve the zinc plating.
While the zinc plating offers corrosion resistance, prolonged submersion or constant exposure to saltwater may eventually degrade the finish. It is best suited for terrestrial transport applications.
It is compatible with heavy-duty polyester or nylon webbing, typically rated for load-bearing applications. The width of the webbing should be considered in relation to the link's opening (D: 22mm).
The zinc plating offers good corrosion resistance, but prolonged exposure to harsh elements can cause surface rust. Clean with a soft brush and inspect for any compromise in the metal's integrity. Ensure proper storage in a dry place.
Ensure you are using webbing of a suitable width that can accommodate the 22mm internal width (D) of the link. Professional-grade industrial sewing machines are often required for securely stitching heavy-duty webbing to such components.
This is likely due to the sewing process. Re-evaluate the stitching pattern and thread used. Multiple passes and reinforced stitching are typically necessary for secure load-bearing applications. Consult professional strap manufacturers if unsure.
Setup: This oval link is designed to be incorporated into a larger securing system, typically by being securely sewn into the end of a webbing strap. Professional sewing equipment and techniques are recommended to ensure the webbing is attached robustly and safely. The link's dimensions (A: 80mm, B: 11mm, C: 58mm, D: 22mm) should be considered when designing your strap assembly.
Compatibility: The primary compatibility is with heavy-duty webbing straps, specifically those rated for the loads you intend to carry. It is commonly used with ratchet straps and tie-down systems for vehicle transport, particularly with alloy wheels. Ensure any other components used in your securing system are rated appropriately for safety.
Care: To maintain its corrosion resistance, regularly clean the oval link with a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove dirt, grit, and salt. Avoid using abrasive cleaners that could damage the zinc plating. Inspect the link and the surrounding webbing for any signs of wear, damage, or corrosion before each use. Store in a dry environment when not in use.
