Product details
Sized in inches and rated in pounds, the 2800A follows the American pattern for Grade 80 connecting links. The smallest 1/4 in link has a working load limit of 3250 lb and weighs 0.25 lb; the 1/2 in size is rated at 11250 lb, the 1 in at 38750 lb, and the largest 1-1/4 in link at 57500 lb with a net weight of 15.00 lb. Minimum breaking load is four times the WLL for every size.
These links are used to assemble and repair chain slings, attach end fittings and connect chain to master links in construction, logistics, steel service centres and general rigging. They are designed for lifting, not for personal fall protection.
When requesting a quote, state the trade size of the chain, the grade of the other components in the assembly and any marking or traceability needed for North American users. Power Honour can produce the 2800A as OEM or private-label hardware, or to a modified drawing.
