The Grade 100 Clevis Reeving Link (CRL Type) is a heavy-duty, high-strength terminal connector engineered specifically for use in reevable (choker) chain slings and general lifting applications.
Direct Chain Attachment: Features a built-in clevis mechanism with a load pin, allowing for fast, secure, and direct connection to Grade 100 lifting chains without extra coupling links.
Choker Configuration: Ideal for functioning as the top or terminal end fitting in a reevable sling setup, allowing the chain to pass through the link smoothly.
Grade 100 Superior Strength: Forged from quenched and tempered super alloy steel, providing approximately 25% higher lifting capacity than standard Grade 80 links.
Rigorous Quality Control: Subjected to 100% magnaflux crack detection and break testing to ensure maximum reliability and safety in demanding industrial environments.
*Wide opening allows chain to pass through for secure choking
Product Features
Optimized for Choker Hitches: Specifically designed to function as a terminal link for "Reeving" (Choking) applications. The chain passes through the wide link opening to tighten around the load securely.
Chain Protection: Unlike using a standard grab hook for choking (which can crush links), the CRL's smooth, rounded profile allows the chain to slide freely and naturally, reducing stress concentrations and extending chain life.
Direct Clevis Connection: Features an integrated clevis pin for direct attachment to Grade 100 Chain. No need for a separate Connecting Link (Hammerlock).
Dual Functionality: Can also be used as a Clevis Master Link for single-leg slings, or as an adapter to connect eye-type fittings to the chain.
Grade 100 Alloy: Manufactured from high-strength Grade 100 steel, offering 25% higher lifting capacity than Grade 80 equivalents.
Standard: Compliant with EN 1677-1 and ASTM A952.

Safety & Wear
Reeving Link (CRL) (This Product)
Smooth Pass-Through
Best Practice. Chain slides through the wide ring. No crushing forces. Extends chain life.
Hook Back (Choking) (Standard Hook)
Point Loading
High Wear. Hooking onto a link causes bending stress and point loading, reducing the chain's WLL significantly.

Grade 100 Sling Components
Grade 100 Sling Components are high-strength alloy steel lifting accessories designed for heavy-duty lifting applications. Compared with Grade 80, Grade 100 offers higher working load limits (WLL) at the same size, or the same WLL with a smaller, lighter component.
What Does "Grade 100" Mean?
High-Strength Alloy: Heat-treated, quenched, and tempered steel.
Increased Capacity: Typically 25% higher WLL than Grade 80.
Safety Factor: Minimum breaking force ≈ 4 × WLL.
Standards: EN 818-4 / EN 818-6, ASTM equivalents.

⚠️ Safety & Compatibility Warning
❌ NEVER mix Grade 100 with Grade 80 components in the same sling assembly.
✅ Use only Grade 100 chain + Grade 100 fittings together.
Regularly inspect for wear (>10%), cracks, deformation, heat damage, or corrosion.
