HACK8 Omega Link

HACK8 Grade 8 Omega Link is a heavy-duty lifting component designed for use in rigging and lifting applications. The Grade 8 designation indicates a high-strength material, alloy steel, ensuring the hook’s durability and ability to handle substantial loads.

1. Material Grade (Grade 8): The omega link is constructed from high-strength alloy steel, providing excellent tensile strength and durability.
2. Clevis Design: The clevis design allows for easy attachment to lifting slings, chains, or other rigging equipment. Unlike a connector, an omega link features a clevis attachment type, which means it is exclusively used in chain sling assemblies.
3. Load Rating: The omega link is rated for a specific load capacity, and it’s crucial to adhere to these load limits to ensure safe lifting operations.
4. Durability: The omega link is designed and manufactured to resist wear, corrosion, and fatigue, ensuring a long service life under demanding conditions.
5. Compliance: William Hackett produce clevis sling hooks in compliance with industry standards and regulations to ensure their suitability for lifting and rigging applications.
6. Identification Markings: The hooks have markings indicating the manufacturer’s name or logo, the material grade, and other relevant information for traceability and compliance.

When using Grade 8 omega links, it’s essential to follow the manufacturer’s guidelines and industry standards for safe and proper usage. Regular inspections, adherence to load capacities, and compliance with safety regulations are critical to ensuring the effectiveness and safety of these lifting components.

All William Hackett Grade 8 lifting components comply fully with the relevant section of EN1677, they are forged from alloy steel, they are crack detected following heat treatment and finally proof tested to 2.5 times working load. The full compliance of these components means that they can be used in chain slings certified to EN 818-4, for use in a temperature range of -40°C up to 200°C without reduction in working load limit.

These omega links can be connected to 1 Leg, 2 Leg, 3 Leg & 4 Leg Chain Slings.
