The Grade 80 Web Sling Connector (WSC Type) is a heavy-duty forged fitting specifically designed to safely connect synthetic webbing or round slings to Grade 80 chain assemblies without compromising system strength.
Sling Protection: Features an extra-wide, smooth bearing surface that prevents pinching and excessive wear on textile slings.
Seamless Integration: Engineered to provide a reliable, direct connection between synthetic slings and standard Grade 80 rigging components.
High-Strength Forging: Manufactured from premium quenched and tempered Grade 80 alloy steel for maximum durability in industrial environments.
Certified Safety: Fully compliant with EN 1677 standards, proof-load tested to 2.5 times the WLL, and features a strict 4:1 safety factor.

*Correctly connects webbing to G80 hardware
Product Features
Sling Protection: The wide, flat bearing surface perfectly matches standard webbing widths. This prevents the sling from cutting against sharp edges or bunching under load.
Safe Link Connection: Acts as a reliable interface between synthetic slings and Grade 80 master links or hooks, replacing makeshift connections that can damage the sling eye.
Easy Assembly: Features a simple assembly mechanism with a load pin and retaining sleeve (similar to a Hammerlock), allowing for quick, tool-free attachment on-site.
Extended Sling Life: By ensuring the correct bend radius and preventing edge loading, the WSC connector significantly extends the operational lifespan of your lifting belts.

Impact on Sling
WSC Connector (This Product)
Flat & Wide
Protected. Sling stays flat. Load is distributed evenly across all fibers. Max WLL retained.
Standard Shackle (Bow/Dee)
Curved / Narrow
Risk of Damage. Sling edges may curl or bunch up (point loading), reducing sling strength and causing premature wear.

⚠️ Safety & Compatibility Notes
DO NOT mix Grade 80 components with other grades (G70, G100) in the same sling leg.
Always match Grade 80 chain with Grade 80 fittings.
Observe sling angle factors and WLL reductions during lifts.
Inspect regularly for: Wear (>10%), Cracks/Distortion, Corrosion, or Heat Damage.
