Description

MASTER LINK

Master Link for Chain Sling and Rigging Assemblies

The Master Link serves as the primary upper
connection point in a chain sling assembly, creating the
interface between the sling system and a compatible crane hook
or lifting point.

It can be incorporated into single-leg and multi-leg chain sling
configurations for industrial lifting, rigging, equipment handling
and load-positioning applications.

Selection should be based on the chain size, sling configuration,
Working Load Limit and the available connection dimensions of the
lifting hook.

RIGGING CONNECTION

The Upper Connection Point of a Chain Sling

In a chain sling assembly, the master link provides the main
connection between the sling legs and the lifting equipment.
Correct selection helps ensure that the complete sling assembly
is matched to the intended lifting configuration.


Crane Hook Connection


Provides the upper attachment point between
the chain sling assembly and compatible lifting hook.


Sling Assembly Connection


Can form the top connection of a complete
industrial chain sling system.


Multiple Configurations


Suitable for properly selected single-leg
and multi-leg chain sling arrangements.


Industrial Rigging


Designed for lifting and rigging applications
where a central upper connection is required.

SLING CONFIGURATIONS

Built Around the Chain Sling System

Master links can be selected according to the number of sling
legs and the connection arrangement required for the lifting task.

01

Single-Leg Sling

Provides the upper connection point for a
single chain leg lifting arrangement.

02

Two-Leg Sling

Suitable for compatible two-leg chain sling
assemblies requiring a common upper connection.

03

Multi-Leg Sling

Can be incorporated into properly configured
three-leg and four-leg lifting systems.

04

Custom Assembly

Master link selection can be matched to the
required chain sling configuration and lifting application.

APPLICATIONS

Master Links for Industrial Lifting and Rigging

Chain Sling Assembly

Used as the upper connection component
in industrial chain sling systems.

Machinery Handling

Suitable for rigging systems used during
equipment lifting and positioning.

Construction

Suitable for compatible chain rigging systems
used for construction and installation work.

Industrial Material Handling

Used in lifting systems for factories,
workshops and material-handling operations.

SELECTION GUIDE

How to Select the Right Master Link

Match the master link to the complete lifting system rather
than selecting the component by appearance or size alone.

01

Chain Size

Confirm the chain size used in the sling
assembly before selecting the master link.

02

Sling Configuration

Determine whether the assembly uses a
single-leg, two-leg or multi-leg arrangement.

03

Working Load Limit

Select the lifting system according to
the required WLL and sling configuration.

04

Hook Compatibility

Check that the master link dimensions are
compatible with the intended crane or lifting hook.

05

Sling Angle

For multi-leg assemblies, consider the lifting
angle when determining the permitted Working Load Limit.

INSPECTION & MAINTENANCE

Inspect the Master Link Before Lifting

Inspect the master link for visible deformation,
cracking or excessive wear before use.
Check the contact areas where the master link
connects with the lifting hook and sling components.
Verify that the selected chain sling configuration
does not exceed its permitted Working Load Limit.
Remove any component with visible damage or
abnormal deformation from lifting service.
Ensure the complete lifting assembly is correctly
connected before applying the load.
