HMC 1 2", 12,000 lbs Grade 80 Coupling Link...A61

Description:

The HMC A61 Grade 80 Coupling Link is a forged alloy steel lifting connector used in overhead lifting and rigging systems to connect chain slings, hooks, and lifting assemblies while maintaining full load capacity. Commonly installed in material handling equipment, construction sites, manufacturing plants, shipyards, and industrial lifting operations where high-strength chain assemblies are required. Maintenance teams, riggers, and lifting equipment operators use this coupling link for sling repairs, rigging system replacements, lifting assembly retrofits, and heavy-duty material handling applications.

Applications:

The HMC A61 coupling link is designed for use with Grade 80 alloy lifting chain in demanding industrial environments. It is commonly used in chain slings, cranes, hoists, lifting beams, and material handling systems where a secure and durable connection point is required. The forged alloy steel construction and 12,000 lb working load limit make it suitable for heavy-duty lifting operations requiring compliance with industry rigging standards.
