The H-Lift Delta Shaped Quick Link, Zinc Plated is a triangular steel connector designed to organize multi-directional loads and provide a secure, threaded connection for chains, webbing, and rigging points.
The Zinc Plated Delta (Triangular) Quick Link is specifically designed for applications involving webbing straps. Its flat bottom edge allows straps to sit neatly without bunching, while the screw lock mechanism ensures a secure, semi-permanent connection for harnesses and utility rigging.
The Triangular shape is engineered for webbing. The flat bottom side prevents straps from folding or bunching under load, unlike oval links.
Manufactured from Mild Steel with a durable Zinc Plated finish. Provides reliable strength and basic corrosion resistance for general outdoor use.
Features a threaded hexagonal sleeve that screws down to close the link securely. Creates a continuous loop that is stronger and more secure than a snap hook.
Ideal for harness connections, backpack straps, parachuting gear rigging, and dog collars. Available in sizes from 3.5mm to 14mm.

Types, Design, Installation & Safety Precautions
A Quick Link (also known as a Rapid Link or Maillon Rapide) is a mechanical connecting link used to join two chains, attach cables, or close a loop securely. It functions similarly to a carabiner but uses a threaded sleeve (nut) to close the opening rather than a spring-loaded gate.
Because the threaded sleeve can be tightened with a wrench, quick links provide a much more secure and permanent connection than a standard snap hook, while still allowing for disassembly when needed.
Quick links come in various geometric shapes to suit different directions of pull and connection requirements:
Design: The most common type, resembling a standard chain link with a threaded opening.
Use: Ideal for joining two lengths of chain or attaching chain to eye bolts. It is designed for loading along the major axis.
Design: Features a significantly wider gate opening than the standard oval type.
Use: Necessary when attaching to larger diameter bars, pipes, or fittings that wouldn't fit through a standard opening.
Design: Triangular shape designed to accept webbing or straps on the flat side.
Use: Commonly used in webbing assemblies, parachuting, or connecting three-way loads.
Design: Resembles a pear; one end is narrower than the other.
Use: Used when connecting two components of different sizes or allowing movement for multiple small connectors at the wide end.
Quick links are robust connectors used in a wide variety of industries:
The security of a quick link depends entirely on how the nut is tightened. For temporary use, "finger tight" may suffice. For permanent or critical applications, the nut must be tightened with a wrench.
Never load a quick link if the nut is not fully closed. The structural integrity of the link relies on the closed loop. If the threads are visible or the nut is open, the link is significantly weaker and will fail under load.
