G80 Master Link
The G80 Master Link is a forged alloy steel lifting component, designed to connect chain slings, hooks, and lifting devices. Manufactured from Grade 80 quenched and tempered steel, it meets the requirements of EN 1677-4 and is CE marked for full compliance with European safety standards.
Master links are widely used as the top connection for chain sling assemblies (1-leg, 2-leg, 3-leg, and 4-leg), enabling secure attachment to lifting hooks or cranes. They can also be combined with intermediate master links or subassemblies for multi-leg chain slings.
Each link is tested and supplied with a permanent identification mark, including working load limit (WLL), traceability code, and manufacturer details. The heavy-duty construction ensures excellent resistance against wear, impact, and deformation under load.
