European-type connecting links are used to make up and repair chain slings, attach hooks and shorteners, and connect chain legs to master links in construction, industrial maintenance, warehousing and general rigging. They are lifting components and are not intended for personal fall protection.
When requesting a quotation, specify the chain diameter and grade, the WLL required for each size and any marking or test certificates the end market expects. The 2600A can be manufactured as OEM or private-label hardware, or modified to a customer drawing.
