Master Links & Rings for Rigging and Lifting
Master links and rigging rings are essential components in lifting and rigging applications, serving as connection points for chain slings, wire rope slings, and synthetic slings. At Lifting.com, we offer a wide selection of high-quality master links from industry-leading brands like Crosby, Gunnebo, Pewag, and Cartec, ensuring superior strength, durability, and compliance with safety standards.
Choosing the Right Master Link or Ring
Master links are available in different shapes, each suited for specific applications:
- Oval master links – The most commonly used type, ideal for multi-leg slings and general rigging.
- Pear-shaped links – Designed for applications that require focused load distribution.
- Round rings – Designed for specific applications and used less frequently than oval or pear-shaped links. They are often utilized in choker systems for timber and forestry operations.
Some master links are specifically engineered for lifting, while others are intended for general rigging. It's important to select the right link based on load requirements, sling type, and industry regulations, ensuring proper performance and safety in your application.
