Master Link Assemblies – Sub Assemblies for Multi-Leg Slings

Master link assemblies, also known as sub assemblies, consist of a main top link with two sublinks below, designed to separate the legs of 3- and 4-leg bridles. By creating distinct connection points, these assemblies improve load distribution and reduce binding, ensuring more stable and efficient lifting operations. While primarily used for chain slings, they can also be utilized with wire rope or synthetic slings, provided that the appropriate safety factor, such as 5:1, is observed.

Gunnebo MT Series – Maximum Versatility
The Gunnebo MT series is a high-performance master link assembly, featuring larger sublinks that provide greater flexibility in rigging applications. This allows for easier attachment of multiple fittings, making it an ideal choice for demanding lifting operations. The working load limit (WLL) ranges from 7,714 to 198,360 lbs under EN 1677-4 standards, and 11,020 to 275,500 lbs under ASTM A952 standards, ensuring strong and reliable performance across different lifting regulations.

DRAK Master Link Assemblies – Value and Efficiency
For standard Grade 100 chain slings, the DRAK master link assemblies offer a cost-effective and practical solution. These assemblies feature smaller, standard-sized sublinks, making them perfectly suited for couplers that connect sling legs. Despite their compact design, they maintain impressive strength, with a WLL range of 11,200 to 235,000 lbs, making them an excellent choice for lifting professionals seeking dependable and economical rigging hardware.

Optimized Performance for Multi-Leg Slings
Master link assemblies are essential for 3- and 4-leg sling configurations, ensuring proper load separation and smooth operation in construction, industrial lifting, and heavy-duty applications. Whether opting for the versatile Gunnebo MT series or the cost-effective DRAK assemblies, rigging professionals can trust these durable and reliable solutions for safe and efficient multi-leg lifting operations.
