cromox® master links and sub-assemblies are made of stainless steel and are used for mounting in hoists and as an adaptive solution within LIFTING applications. Together with our comprehensive cromox® LIFTING range, this gives you a perfectly coordinated system solution that impresses with its high load-bearing capacity, corrosion resistance and simple and safe handling.
cromox® master links and master heads are manufactured by machine with the utmost precision from stainless steel. With their corrosion resistance and high-quality surface, they are ideal for use in clean rooms, the food industry, meat processing, the chemical industry and the pharmaceutical sector. But the oval rings made of stainless steel (inox) also impress with their lasting resistance in offshore applications when used in salt water or in pickling plants in contact with acids. cromox® master links are available in "1-leg" and "2-leg" versions and the cromox® sub-assemblies are available in "3-leg" and "4-leg" versions.
All our master links have something in common:
With the cromox® sub-assemblies for chains, we complete our holistic stainless steel product portfolio designed for system solutions.
With our long-standing market presence and internationally recognized expertise in the lifting and industrial sector, Ketten Wälder GmbH has established itself as a reliable partner for master links and sub-assemblies.
The cromox® master links and sub-assemblies are a testament to our company's in-depth knowledge of the industry and extensive experience in lifting and conveying technology. We offer solutions that not only meet the high demands of the industry, but also impress with their reliability and functionality. These products are in line with our commitment to quality, safety and innovation, making our products an indispensable part of efficient system solutions.
We are a member of the Associated Wire Rope Fabricators AWRF. With more than 400 companies in 25 countries around the world, AWRF is a leading organization for sling fabricators and special rigging components manufacturers.
All our products are tested in the in-house Lloyd's Register certified testing laboratory of Ketten Wälder GmbH. According to international standards, with up to 160 tons load capacity.
Our cromox® products are produced in Germany and are international leaders in the field of stainless steel products. We ensure consistently high quality and technical solutions to the highest standards.
In environments with high demands on corrosion resistance, such as in chemical plants, in the maritime or offshore industry or in areas exposed to severe weather conditions, the use of corrosion-resistant materials is essential. Master links and sub-assemblies made of stainless steel play an important role here, as they ensure the stable and secure suspension of objects.
These components must be made of materials that can withstand these conditions, especially when exposed to high loads, such as chemicals, salt water or high temperatures.
The stainless steel chosen by Ketten Wälder GmbH for the cromox® product line is a material that is particularly suitable for these applications. The alloys with a high chromium and nickel content are particularly noteworthy here. They form a thin but very dense and stable layer of chromium oxide on the surface, which protects the underlying material from corrosion.
When selecting the right material for a sub-assembly or master link, it is important to precisely define the environment and load to which the components will be exposed. This is the only way to ensure safe, reliable and long-term function.
System solutions in the lifting industry refer to integrated and comprehensive solutions that cover all aspects of lifting operations and are ideally offered by one manufacturer in a coordinated manner. In addition to the lifting equipment itself (such as chains, lifting links and heads, load hooks, connecting links and other lifting points), this can also include the maintenance and repair of these products, training for operators and other services.
The advantage of system solutions ("everything from a single source") is that customers have a single supplier for all their product requirements in relation to lifting operations. Especially when it comes to individualized system solutions, it is an advantage to have a single point of contact and manufacturer. The individual components are coordinated with each other. This can improve the efficiency and effectiveness of lifting operations and production processes, reduce the risk of problems or errors and also cut costs.
Master links are used to hang objects safely and stably. They can be used in many different ways, for example in engineering, construction or in various industries (e.g. in clean rooms, in the food industry or in the maritime industry).
There are several standards and regulations that apply to master links and sub-assemblies. General requirements for the design, testing and marking of master links and heads or specific requirements and test methods for the design and manufacture of master links and heads are defined here.
Important: Not all master links and heads have to comply with the same standards. It is important to always consider the specific requirements and standards for the respective application when selecting master links and heads.
cromox® master links and heads made of stainless steel are manufactured by machine with the utmost precision and in the highest quality from AISI 318LN Duplex / AISI 318LN Duplex stainless steel. They correspond to Grade 60 and offer the highest load-bearing capacity and safety in every respect.
Master links and sub-assemblies made of stainless steel are particularly durable and can therefore be used in environments with high corrosion resistance requirements, such as in chemical plants, in the maritime or offshore industry or in areas exposed to severe weather conditions. They also withstand particularly high temperatures and retain their stability and function over a long period of time.
Made of high-quality stainless steel, cromox® master links and master heads keep your objects secure and stable. In combination with the comprehensive cromox® LIFTING range, you can rely on a high-performance and durable system solution.
