Product Description
The Pewag Connex Master Link with XK Shorteners is a welded, pre-assembled lifting component that combines a master link with multiple integrated XK-style chain shorteners into a single unit for use in multi-leg overhead chain sling applications. This welded assembly eliminates the need for separate shortening hooks or loose components across multiple sling legs, providing a compact and secure method of adjusting chain leg lengths simultaneously at the master link. The welded construction ensures all components remain positively connected throughout the lift, reducing the risk of accidental disassembly during rigging operations.
Designed as part of the Pewag Connex chain sling system, this multi-shortener assembly integrates seamlessly with compatible Pewag Grade 100 chain and rigging hardware. Each XK shortener allows the operator to independently take up slack in individual chain legs and lock them at a shorter working length, enabling precise load positioning and improved sling geometry control across all legs without requiring additional shortening devices. The master link provides the top connection point for attachment to the lifting hook or crane hook.
This component is suited for use in multi-leg chain sling assemblies in industrial lifting, fabrication, construction, and material handling environments where independent leg length adjustment is required. As with all overhead lifting hardware, the assembly must be inspected before each use for wear, deformation, cracking, weld integrity, or corrosion, and must be operated within its rated working load limit in full compliance with applicable lifting standards and site safety requirements.
Material: High-tensile alloy steel Welded construction
Compatible With: Pewag Connex Grade 100 chain sling components Grade 100 lifting chain of compatible size Overhead lifting hooks and crane hooks of appropriate capacity
Uses: Independent chain leg length adjustment in multi-leg sling assemblies Two-leg and multi-leg chain sling configurations Industrial lifting, fabrication, and construction material handling Load positioning requiring precise sling geometry control across multiple legs
Key Features: Welded master link and multiple XK shortener pre-assembly Independent chain shortening per leg without loose components Compatible with Pewag Connex Grade 100 chain sling system Secure, positive connection maintained throughout the lift Reduces rigging setup time across multi-leg configurations
Note: Inspect weld integrity, master link, and all shortener mechanisms before each use. Do not use if any deformation, cracking, or weld damage is detected. Verify the rated working load limit accommodates the intended multi-leg load configuration.
