When it comes to safe and reliable rigging, links are essential hardware that connect chains, hooks, and lifting components. This sub-category focuses on oblong master links and omega links, both designed to handle heavy-duty lifting, towing, and recovery applications. These links are forged from high-strength alloy steel and available in multiple grades, giving you flexibility for your exact workload and equipment needs.
Oblong links and omega links serve as the critical connectors in a rigging system. Whether you’re building chain slings, attaching to hoists, or setting up a secure recovery configuration, these links ensure your gear stays intact under pressure.
With both options available in Grade 80 and Grade 100 alloy steel, operators can choose the right working load limit and durability for the job.
At Zip’s, we carry a wide range of links from leading manufacturers trusted across rigging and recovery industries:
You’ll also find options from B/A Products and Gunnebo, both known for premium rigging gear that meets strict safety and performance standards.
When selecting oblong or omega links, keep these considerations in mind:
Links are only as effective as the rigging they’re connected to. If you’re upgrading your system, it’s a good time to explore chains and slings that match your new hardware. Investing in both ensures compatibility, strength, and long-term safety.
What is the difference between an oblong link and an omega link?
Oblong links are elongated and designed to accommodate multiple legs of a chain sling or larger hooks, while omega links are compact, rounded, and typically used to connect chain ends or hooks directly.
Are oblong master links suitable for crane lifting?
Yes, oblong master links are commonly used in lifting applications, particularly with crane hooks, because they provide room for multi-leg sling assemblies.
Should I choose Grade 80 or Grade 100 links?
Grade 80 links are strong and reliable for many recovery and rigging tasks, but Grade 100 links provide higher strength and working load limits, making them the better choice for heavy-duty operations.
