A Grade 120 connecting link is a high-strength component used in chain assemblies, typically for heavy-duty lifting and rigging applications. The "Grade 120" classification indicates a minimum tensile strength of 120,000 psi, offering approximately 50% higher working load limits (WLL) compared to Grade 80 and 25% more than Grade 100.
These connecting links are engineered to match the superior strength and durability of Grade 120 chains, ensuring a safe, consistent, and reliable connection point in the most demanding industrial environments.
Key Features
- High Strength: Designed to handle extreme loads, suitable for industrial, construction, and marine applications.
- Superior Durability: Forged from heat-treated alloy steel for enhanced resistance to wear, fatigue, and corrosion.
- Grade 120 Compatibility: Specifically engineered to work with G120 chains for a secure fit.
- Robust Design: Features a proven two-part design with a heavy-duty locking pin mechanism.
Common Applications
- Heavy lifting and hoisting operations
- Industrial rigging and towing
- Mining and excavation projects
- Marine and offshore load handling
⚠️ Important Safety Considerations
- Match Your Grades: Always ensure the connecting link is rated for the same grade as the chain (Grade 120). Never use a lower grade link with a higher grade chain.
- Regular Inspection: Inspect the link regularly for wear, deformation, or cracks.
- Load Limits: Strictly follow manufacturer guidelines and Working Load Limits (WLL).
