G80 Connect Link (Hammerlock): The Essential Link in High-Strength Chain Assemblies

The G80 Connect Link, commonly known as a hammerlock, is a critical component in Grade 80 heavy-duty chain systems, engineered for maximum strength, reliability, and ease of use in demanding lifting, towing, and load-securing applications.

Forged from high-tensile Grade 80 alloy steel and heat-treated to meet stringent international standards (including ASTM A342), the G80 Connect Link offers a minimum tensile strength of 800 N/mm² (116,000 psi) and is certified for overhead lifting with a 4:1 safety factor.

Key Features:

• Hammerlock Design: Features a unique open-throat configuration that allows quick connection to chain links without threading—simply position and strike with a hammer to secure (hence the name “hammerlock”).
• Self-Locking Under Load: Once tension is applied, the link locks firmly around the chain, preventing accidental disengagement.
• Durable & Traceable: Permanently marked with Working Load Limit (WLL), grade, and manufacturer ID for compliance and safety verification.
• Smooth Contours: Minimize wear on chains and ensure smooth operation during rigging.

Common Applications:

• Connecting Grade 80 transport chains in flatbed truck securement
• Assembling multi-leg lifting slings
• Recovery and towing operations
• Industrial rigging in construction, mining, and oil & gas sectors

Safety Note:

Always use the G80 Connect Link exclusively with Grade 80 chains and fittings. Never exceed the rated WLL, and inspect regularly for cracks, deformation, or wear.

When strength, speed, and safety matter—trust the G80 Connect Link (Hammerlock) to keep your chain system secure and compliant.
