The H-Lift Stainless Steel Delta Shaped Quick Link is a forged AISI 316 triangular screw-gate connector for joining chains, ropes, and hardware in multi-directional rigging.
The Delta (Triangular) Shaped Quick Link is specifically engineered for multi-directional loading and webbing applications. Its unique shape provides a flat bottom edge that keeps straps neatly aligned and prevents bunching, while the high-quality AISI 316 stainless steel construction ensures superior corrosion resistance in marine environments.
The Triangle shape forces the load to distribute correctly. Ideally suited for webbing or flat straps, which sit flat on the bottom side without bunching or twisting.
Manufactured from premium AISI 316 Stainless Steel. Offers maximum resistance to saltwater corrosion, making it essential for diving and marine rigging.
Features a threaded sleeve that screws down to close the link securely. Provides a semi-permanent connection that resists vibration better than standard snap hooks.
Perfect for parachuting gear, shade sails, diving harnesses, and multi-directional rigging points. WLL ranges from 120 lbs to 1900 lbs.

Types, Design, Installation & Safety Precautions
A Quick Link (also known as a Rapid Link or Maillon Rapide) is a mechanical connecting link used to join two chains, attach cables, or close a loop securely. It functions similarly to a carabiner but uses a threaded sleeve (nut) to close the opening rather than a spring-loaded gate.
Because the threaded sleeve can be tightened with a wrench, quick links provide a much more secure and permanent connection than a standard snap hook, while still allowing for disassembly when needed.
Quick links come in various geometric shapes to suit different directions of pull and connection requirements:
Design: The most common type, resembling a standard chain link with a threaded opening.
Use: Ideal for joining two lengths of chain or attaching chain to eye bolts. It is designed for loading along the major axis.
Design: Features a significantly wider gate opening than the standard oval type.
Use: Necessary when attaching to larger diameter bars, pipes, or fittings that wouldn't fit through a standard opening.
Design: Triangular shape designed to accept webbing or straps on the flat side.
Use: Commonly used in webbing assemblies, parachuting, or connecting three-way loads.
Design: Resembles a pear; one end is narrower than the other.
Use: Used when connecting two components of different sizes or allowing movement for multiple small connectors at the wide end.
Quick links are robust connectors used in a wide variety of industries:
The security of a quick link depends entirely on how the nut is tightened. For temporary use, "finger tight" may suffice. For permanent or critical applications, the nut must be tightened with a wrench.
Never load a quick link if the nut is not fully closed. The structural integrity of the link relies on the closed loop. If the threads are visible or the nut is open, the link is significantly weaker and will fail under load.
