Lifting link
During construction and rigging work, it is impossible to do without slings, with the help of which loads of any size and type are moved. An integral component of the slings is the lifting link - the connecting element. The range of such products is represented by dozens of types and variants, and thanks to the ever-growing demand, manufacturers regularly supply more and more practical and inexpensive models to the domestic market.
Requirements for lifting links
The safety of the transported cargo directly depends on the quality of the connecting elements. That is why links, before going on sale, undergo dozens of different tests for strength, durability, etc. When choosing products of this type, it is worth considering that there should be no cracks or burrs on the surface. In addition, each batch of 2018 products is checked for appropriate markings and tested for maximum load capacity.
Such checks eliminate the risk of damage to goods during transportation to the site. Experts recommend regularly checking those links that are already in use, since the products are subject to frequent loads and may be misused or deformed if overloaded.
The design features allow you to start using the connecting elements immediately after purchase, despite the fact that they are sold disassembled. Products are supplied in two versions:
with a flat segment;
without flat segment.
Links of the first type have proven to be more practical, since with their help it is possible to quickly and easily attach fasteners to the suspension.
Main advantages
Currently, only proven models of links for sling assembly are presented on the domestic market, which fully comply with GOST and international standards. The main advantages of the products are:
reliability;
high load capacity;
wear resistance;
resistance to aggressive environments;
long service life.
The most popular are links of types RT and T, which are rightfully considered universal. They are not used with multi-leg slings because the load is distributed to the corners. Type O elements are used when assembling slings with one and three branches, but are not suitable for products designed for branches. Ov type links are also widely used, the design of which involves plugging the side with a threaded bushing.
