FAQs
What does the 'Q.16.B' in the product description mean?
This likely refers to the product code or internal classification for the 16mm size (16) Quad Master Link (Q) with a specific design variant (B).
How do I obtain the material certificate or DNV certificate?
These certificates can be supplied upon request. Contact SecureFix Direct customer service after your purchase to make the request.
What is the factor of safety?
A factor of safety of 5:1 means the link is designed to withstand five times its Safe Working Load before failure.
Can this master link be used for overhead lifting?
Yes, the link is designed for lifting applications and is certified to EN1677-4, making it suitable for overhead lifting when used correctly as part of a compliant rigging system.
What is the difference between Safe Working Load (SWL) and Breaking Strength?
SWL is the maximum load the equipment is certified to lift. Breaking Strength is the load at which the equipment is expected to fail. The Factor of Safety (5:1) relates these two values, meaning the Breaking Strength is approximately five times the SWL.
Is the blue powder coating purely aesthetic?
No, the blue powder coating provides a durable finish that protects the metal from corrosion and environmental damage, contributing to the longevity and performance of the link.
Troubleshooting
Link appears damaged or deformed
Immediately remove the link from service. Do not attempt to repair. Contact SecureFix Direct for a replacement and report the damage.
Difficulty connecting other rigging hardware
Verify that the connected hardware is within the specified dimensions and is also rated for the load. Ensure no debris is obstructing the connection points.
Surface coating is scratched or chipped
Minor cosmetic damage to the powder coating generally does not affect the structural integrity. Clean the affected area and monitor for any signs of corrosion. Significant coating damage or underlying metal exposure may require further inspection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Quad Master Link is designed to integrate into existing rigging systems. Ensure that the components it connects to (e.g., shackles, hooks, chain ends) are compatible in size and rated for the same or higher working load limits. Always connect the master link to the rigging hardware through the designated eyelets.
Compatibility: This master link is compatible with other EN1677-4 certified rigging components. It is specifically designed for use with 16mm chain or equivalent lifting accessories. Refer to the dimension specifications (A=115mm, B=73mm, C=16mm, D=13mm, E=96mm, F=55mm, G=53mm) to ensure proper fit within your rigging setup.
Care: Regularly inspect the master link for signs of wear, deformation, cracks, or corrosion. Clean the link with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents. Store in a dry environment when not in use. Annual professional inspection is recommended, especially if used frequently or in harsh conditions.
