The Safe Working Load (SWL) for this SecureFix Direct Half Coupling Link is 12.5 metric tons.
This coupling link is designed to suit 20mm diameter Grade 80 chain.
Grade 80 refers to a specific standard for alloy steel chains and fittings that offers high tensile strength and durability, suitable for lifting applications.
Yes, a test certificate will be supplied via email after purchase, confirming the product's specifications and quality.
This coupling link has a factor of safety of 4:1, meaning it is designed to withstand four times its stated Safe Working Load.
No, this link is specifically designed for 20mm Grade 80 chains and compatible Grade 80 fittings. Using it with other types may compromise safety.
The product description notes that the yellow finish color may vary. If exact color matching is critical for your application, it is recommended to check with the supplier before ordering or to accept potential color variations.
Ensure you are using a compatible Grade 80 fitting designed with a mating half coupling lock. Verify both the chain size (20mm) and the fitting are correctly aligned for engagement. Check for any obstructions or debris in the locking mechanism.
Immediately remove the coupling link from service. Do not attempt to repair it. Replace it with a new, certified link of the same specification.
Double-check that the coupling link is correctly engaged with its mating fitting and that the chain is properly attached to the other end of the coupling. Ensure the load does not exceed the 12.5-ton SWL. Inspect the entire lifting assembly for any points of weakness.
Setup: The SecureFix Direct Half Coupling Link is designed to be integrated into existing chain sling assemblies. It connects to a Grade 80 chain of 20mm diameter. Ensure the chain end is properly prepared to mate with the half coupling mechanism. The coupling requires a compatible fitting (e.g., self-locking hook) to engage the lock, creating a secure connection. Always refer to the specific fitting's instructions for engagement.
Compatibility: This coupling link is specifically designed for Grade 80 chains of 20mm diameter. It is compatible with other Grade 80 lifting accessories that feature a corresponding half coupling lock, such as SecureFix Direct's coupling self-locking hooks or insulated swivels. It is not compatible with chains of different grades or sizes, nor with fittings that do not have a mating half coupling design.
Care: Inspect the coupling link regularly for any signs of wear, deformation, cracks, or corrosion. Clean the link with a dry cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the material or protective finish. Store in a dry, protected environment when not in use to prevent rust and degradation. If any damage is detected, the link must be immediately removed from service.
