A Grade 80 eye sling hook with safety latch — a forged, quenched-and-tempered alloy-steel connector for EN818-2 G80 chain slings, built for heavy-duty overhead rigging where the integral latch prevents the load from slipping out.
The G80 master link assembly A-345 pairs a forged oblong master link with two welded sub-links, giving riggers a ready-to-use top connection for two-leg G80 chain slings. Forged from super alloy steel and quenched and tempered, it is individually proof tested at 2 times its working load limit with certification, and rated to an ultimate load of 4 times the WLL. Available in sizes from 3/4" to 3-1/4" with working load limits from 4.7 t to 80 t, it is built for two-leg chain sling assemblies on overhead cranes, lifting beams, and heavy industrial rigging where two sling legs must converge into a single hook point.
It is designed as the top assembly for EN818-2 G80 chain slings, pairing with grade-80 sling legs, hooks, and couplers — a pressed-flat option is also available on request. See the specification table below to confirm which size matches your chain diameter and load.
Forged from super alloy steel and quenched and tempered for excellent strength and durability.
Individually proof tested at 2× WLL with certification for reliable lifting performance.
Ultimate load reaches 4× WLL, providing a higher safety margin for lifting operations.
Available from 3/4" to 3-1/4", with WLL from 4.7T to 80T for various heavy-duty lifting applications.
Not every chain sling needs a pre-welded top assembly. Where two G80 sling legs must converge into a single hook point — on an overhead crane, a lifting beam, a spreader bar — a certified master link assembly does the job as a ready-to-use top connection rather than a field-made link. Forged from super alloy steel and quenched and tempered, it is individually proof tested to 2 times its working load limit with certification and rated to an ultimate load of 4 times the WLL — built for dependable multi-leg chain sling rigging.
Which A-345 size fits your job? If you are rigging light-to-general loads on smaller G80 chain, the 3/4" through 1-1/4" models (4.7 t to 16 t) cover standard shop and plant slings. If your application is heavy industrial lifting on larger chain, the 1-1/2" through 3-1/4" models (21.7 t to 80 t) are rated for the duty. If you just need a certified two-leg top link that seats directly on your hook, the A-345 is the straightforward choice — a pressed-flat main link is also available on request.

If you are building a two-leg G80 chain sling, this pre-welded master link assembly is the right top connection; for a single-leg sling, a single master link or end link will suffice.
Choose from 3/4" up to 3-1/4" (item DELE8025-01 through DELE8025-13) to match your G80 chain — never mix a master link with chain outside its rated range.
Select from 4.7 t to 80 t based on your maximum lifted load, plus the required safety margin; each assembly is proof tested to 2× WLL with certification and rated to 4× ultimate.
Standard finish is a powder coat in red (RAL3020) or yellow (RAL1003), with other colors available on request; request a pressed-flat main link only if your installation requires it.
Forged from super alloy steel and heat-treated for excellent strength and durability.
Individually proof tested at 2× WLL for reliable lifting performance.
Ultimate load reaches 4× WLL, providing a high safety margin.
Available from 4.7T to 80T WLL, covering a wide range of lifting applications.
Designed for multi-leg chain sling assemblies, offering stable and efficient load connection.
Powder-coated surface provides a durable finish with customizable color options.
