G80 Omega Link: The Ultimate Heavy-Duty Connecting Solution for Demanding Rigging Applications
The G80 Omega Link is a high-strength, forged alloy steel connector engineered for the most demanding lifting, towing, and load-securing operations. Named for its distinctive Ω (Omega)-shaped design, this robust link offers superior load distribution, smooth articulation, and exceptional durability—making it a trusted choice across industries such as construction, oil & gas, mining, transportation, and heavy manufacturing.
Key Features:
- Grade 80 Alloy Steel: Heat-treated to achieve a minimum tensile strength of 800 N/mm² (116,000 psi), with a 4:1 safety factor—certified for overhead lifting.
- Omega (Ω) Shape: Provides a wide, open throat that allows easy connection to chains, hooks, or slings while minimizing wear and stress concentration.
- Forged & Proof-Tested: Manufactured to meet or exceed international standards (including ASTM A342), with permanent markings for traceability, Working Load Limit (WLL), and grade.
- Smooth, Rounded Edges: Reduce abrasion on chains and synthetic slings during use.
- Versatile Compatibility: Ideal for use in multi-leg slings, chain assemblies, recovery operations, and transport securement.
Common Applications:
- Connecting chain slings to crane hooks or master links
- Lifting heavy machinery, structural steel, and industrial equipment
- Securing oversized loads on flatbed trailers
- Off-road vehicle recovery and marine rigging
Safety & Compliance:
- Clearly stamped with WLL, Grade 80, and manufacturer ID
- Meets OSHA, ASME B30.9, and DOT requirements for lifting hardware
- Designed for use only with other Grade 80 components to maintain system integrity
Why Choose the G80 Omega Link?
Its unique shape combines the strength of a closed link with the accessibility of an open design—offering the best of both worlds. Whether you’re assembling a complex rigging configuration or need a reliable junction point under extreme loads, the G80 Omega Link delivers unmatched performance, safety, and peace of mind.
