Links for Rigging, Recovery, and Lifting Applications

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.

Why Choose Oblong and Omega Links

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.

Oblong master links are widely used in lifting applications, especially when paired with multiple-leg chain slings. Their elongated design allows them to fit crane hooks while accommodating more than one chain or fitting.
Omega links feature a compact, rounded design that makes them ideal for connecting hooks or chain ends while reducing stress on the system.

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.

Top Brands and Products

At Zip’s, we carry a wide range of links from leading manufacturers trusted across rigging and recovery industries:

Zip's Grade 80 Omega Link – a reliable choice for connecting chain ends in heavy-duty applications.
Yoke G80 Omega Link – built to meet rigorous industry standards for rigging performance.
Zip's Grade 100 Oblong Link – designed for multi-leg sling assemblies with superior strength.
Yoke G100 Forged Oblong Master Link – a durable solution for lifting and crane operations.

You’ll also find options from B/A Products and Gunnebo, both known for premium rigging gear that meets strict safety and performance standards.

Choosing the Right Link for the Job

When selecting oblong or omega links, keep these considerations in mind:

Load capacity – Match your link to the working load limit required for your operation. Grade 100 options generally provide higher strength than Grade 80.
Rigging configuration – Oblong master links are best for multiple chain leg assemblies, while omega links work well as direct connectors.
Application environment – Consider whether your rigging will be exposed to heavy impact, sharp angles, or harsh conditions, which can affect the performance and longevity of your link.

Pair Your Links with Chains and Slings

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.

FAQ: Links for Rigging and Recovery

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.
