FAQs
What does BS EN 1677 conformance mean for this product?
BS EN 1677 is a European standard that specifies requirements for components used in lifting chains. Conformance ensures the product has met stringent safety, strength, and quality tests relevant to lifting applications.
What is the Safe Working Load (SWL) for this Quad Master Link?
The Safe Working Load (SWL) for this specific model is 7.8 Ton (metric tonnes).
Can this master link be used with different sizes of chain?
This Quad Master Link Assembly is specifically designed to suit a chain size of 10MM. Using it with different chain sizes may compromise safety and is not recommended.
What is Grade 80 material?
Grade 80 is a designation for high-strength alloy steel commonly used in lifting applications. It offers excellent tensile strength and durability under load.
How do I properly care for the master link assembly?
Regularly inspect for damage, keep clean and dry, and always operate within the specified Safe Working Load limits. Avoid exposing it to corrosive environments if possible.
What is the Factor of Safety (FOS)?
The Factor of Safety (FOS) of 4:1 means the assembly's ultimate breaking strength is at least four times its Safe Working Load. This provides a significant margin of safety.
Is the yellow finish standard?
The product is typically finished in yellow for visibility, but the description notes that the colour may vary. Always refer to the product image and description for the most accurate representation.
Troubleshooting
Master link appears difficult to connect to chains

Visible wear or deformation on the master link
Immediately remove the master link from service. Contact SecureFix Direct or a qualified professional for inspection and potential replacement. Do not use if damaged.
Chain sling assembly feels unbalanced during lift
Ensure all chain legs are of equal length and are properly seated within the master link. Distribute the load evenly across all chain legs.
