• 22 mm size—A practical balance that supports mid‑ to heavy‑duty lifting scenarios without sacrificing versatility.
• 15 t Safe Working Load (SWL)—Clear, reliable capacity for demanding lifts, with a clear path to safe, controlled rigging operations.
• Genuine, traceable origin—Product Number F30860F, manufactured in Germany with a production date of 27.12.21 for authenticity and traceability.
• Direct‑supplier shipping—Ships straight from the supplier, with support available to confirm logistics if needed.

Ideal uses and real‑world scenarios

• Industrial lifting operations across manufacturing floors, construction sites, shipyards, and energy facilities where reliable EN 1677 connectors are essential.
• Rigging setups that require Grade 80 connectors for enhanced durability and safer load handling under dynamic conditions.
• Maintenance and installation projects involving heavy equipment where quick, secure connections save time and reduce risk.

How it benefits your operation

• Consistency under load—German engineering standards translate to predictable performance during every lift, helping crews plan safer rigging configurations.
• Reduced setup complexity—EN 1677 alignment minimizes misfit risk and compatibility issues with existing slings and fittings.
• Long‑term durability—Grade 80 metallurgy and robust fabrication resist wear and fatigue in repetitive or dynamic lifting environments.

Care, safety, and best practices

• Always verify the connector size (22 mm) and SWL (15 t) before use; never exceed the rated capacity.
• Inspect prior to each lift for deformation, cracks, corrosion, or wear; replace if any defect is detected.
• Ensure correct alignment and avoid cross‑loading to preserve strength and safety margins.
• Store in a dry environment and protect from impact to extend service life.
