Product Description
Pewag AWI Grade 63 Stainless Master Link – Rated for Overhead Lifting
The Pewag AWI Stainless Master Link is engineered from Grade 63 stainless steel, making it one of the few stainless options fully rated for overhead lifting. Standard grades like 304 and 316 stainless are not suitable for use in chain slings, whereas Grade 63 provides lifting-rated strength plus excellent corrosion resistance.
Key Features
- Grade 63 stainless – suitable and rated for overhead lifting (unlike 304/316)
- 100% proof-tested and CE-marked for traceability
- Meets DIN 5688-1 dimensional standards; works with CWP Connex and wire rope slings
- High resistance to acids and caustics; ideal for marine, wastewater, chemical, and food environments
- Use as a master or end link in single-, double-, or quad-leg assemblies
