The Foundation of Your Lifting System: G80 U.S. Type Forged Master Link
Build your rigging system on a foundation of absolute strength and reliability. The G80 U.S. Type Forged Master Link is the critical, undisputed core of countless lifting assemblies. Meticulously forged from high-tensile alloy steel and heat-treated to rigorous Grade G80 standards, this master link (or "master ring") is engineered to be the strongest, most trustworthy connection point between your hardware and your load.
For sling manufacturers, riggers, and safety managers, it’s the essential component for creating secure, efficient, and compliant lifting systems.

Why Choose Our G80 Forged Master Link?
1. Unmatched Forged Strength & Integrity
Unlike inferior cast or welded links, our master link is drop-forged under tremendous pressure. This process aligns the steel's grain structure to the shape of the link, creating a component that is:
-
Exceptionally Durable: Far more resistant to impact, shock loading, and abrasion.
-
Free of Defects: Forging eliminates the porosity and weaknesses common in cast products.
-
Built to Last: Provides a superior service life, reducing downtime and replacement costs.
2. Certified G80 Grade for Maximum Safety
This isn't just hardware—it's a certified safety device. Rated Grade G80, it meets the most demanding North American standards.
-
4:1 Design Factor: Engineered to handle four times its stated Working Load Limit, providing a critical safety margin.
-
Rigorous Heat Treatment: Precisely controlled heating and quenching enhance strength and toughness without becoming brittle.
-
Traceable Quality: Manufactured to comply with ASME B30.26 standards, ensuring performance you can trust.
3. Versatile & Efficient Design
The classic "U.S. Type" design is universally recognized for its functionality:
-
Clean, Smooth Profile: Radiused edges protect slings and other components from wear and cut-through.
-
Optimized Geometry: Designed for easy attachment of hooks, shackles, and other links from various angles.
-
The System Hub: Perfect for creating assemblies with multiple legs (e.g., quad-leg slings), connecting to lifting points, or as a central gathering point for complex rigs.
