FAQs

What does Grade 80 material signify?

Grade 80 refers to a specific heat treatment and material specification for alloy steel chains and components, offering high tensile strength and resistance to abrasion and impact, suitable for lifting applications.

What is the Safe Working Load (SWL) of this link?

The Safe Working Load (SWL) for this 10mm omega link is 3.15 tons.

Will I receive a test certificate with my order?

Yes, a test certificate will be supplied via email for this product.

What standards does this coupling link conform to?

This coupling link conforms to BS EN 1677 standards.

How should I check compatibility with my existing chains?

Ensure your existing chains and master links are also Grade 80 and designed for 10mm connections. Refer to the detailed dimensions (A-H) provided for precise fitting.

Can this link be used for general-purpose rigging, not just lifting?

While robust, this link is specifically designed and certified for lifting applications under BS EN 1677 standards. Its use should be limited to those applications where its rating and safety factors are appropriate.

What is the factor of safety for this link?

The factor of safety for this link is 4:1, meaning it is designed to withstand four times its safe working load before failure.

Troubleshooting

Link appears difficult to connect

Ensure you are using compatible hardware (e.g., flat master link) and that no debris is obstructing the connection points. Verify the dimensions of both components.

Visible signs of wear or damage

Immediately remove the link from service. Do not attempt to repair it. Replace with a new link of the correct specification.

Exceeding Safe Working Load (SWL)

Do not use the link for loads exceeding its 3.15-ton SWL. Recalculate load requirements and use appropriately rated components.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This omega link is designed to be integrated into existing lifting chain assemblies. It connects to flat master links or other compatible lifting hardware. Ensure that the link is correctly seated and secured before applying any load. Refer to the product's dimensions (A-H) to confirm compatibility with other components.

Compatibility: Primarily designed for use with Grade 80 lifting chains and associated fittings such as flat master links. It conforms to BS EN 1677 standards, indicating compatibility with other components meeting the same specifications.

Care: Inspect the omega link regularly for any signs of wear, distortion, cracks, or corrosion. Clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent if necessary; avoid abrasive cleaners. Store in a dry environment. Always ensure the link is within its rated Safe Working Load (SWL) and that the load is applied correctly.
