Grade 80 Chain Shortener Link – Precision-Engineered for Secure Chain Adjustment

Key Features:

• Grade 80 Alloy Steel Construction: Heat-treated to meet ASTM A342 standards, delivering a minimum tensile strength of 800 N/mm² (116,000 psi) and a 4:1 safety factor—certified for overhead lifting and heavy-duty transport.
• Dual-Function Design: Features two opposing hooks or clevis ends that securely engage adjacent chain links, effectively “shortening” the chain by bypassing unused sections.
• Compact & Lightweight: Easy to carry and install—ideal for on-the-go adjustments in trucking, recovery, or field operations.
• Smooth, Rounded Profile: Minimizes wear on chain links and ensures smooth handling.
• Permanent Markings: Clearly stamped with Working Load Limit (WLL), size, Grade 80 designation, and manufacturer ID for traceability and compliance.

Common Applications:

• Adjusting chain length for secure cargo tie-down on flatbed trailers
• Creating custom chain sling configurations in industrial lifting
• Recovery and towing operations requiring precise chain tension
• Eliminating slack in transport chains without cutting or reassembling

Safety Recommendations:

• Use only with Grade 80 transport or lifting chains of matching size and rating.
• Never exceed the marked WLL.
• Ensure both ends are fully engaged with chain links before applying load.
• Inspect regularly for cracks, deformation, or wear—retire immediately if damaged.

Engineered for strength and built for versatility—the Grade 80 Chain Shortener Link delivers reliable, code-compliant chain adjustment wherever it’s needed most.
