A master link assembly is a key component used in many multi-leg lifting sling configurations. It provides the connection between the crane hook and one or more sling legs. For heavy lifting operations, the master link is an important part of the load path and must therefore be correctly selected according to the complete lifting arrangement. CML SARL lists master link assemblies among its lifting and pulling materials. What Is a Master Link? A master link is a large, high-strength steel link designed to connect a lifting sling assembly to a crane hook or other compatible lifting equipment. It may be used with: Chain slings Wire rope slings Multi-leg sling assemblies Hooks Connecting links Other lifting components Master Link Assemblies A master link assembly can include the main master link together with additional components designed to accommodate multiple sling legs. This configuration is particularly useful for: Two-leg chain slings Three-leg chain slings Four-leg chain slings Multi-leg wire rope assemblies Why Is the Master Link Important? During a lifting operation, forces from different sling legs are transferred toward the upper connection point. The master link therefore forms an important part of the load path. The assembly must be selected according to: Number of sling legs Working Load Limit Sling configuration Hook dimensions Load weight Sling angles Applicable lifting standards Master Link Inspection Before use, inspect the assembly for: Cracks D...
