Crosby 'A345' Forged Alloy Link Assembly - WLL Range from 5.6 tonnes to 169 tonnes
Forged Alloy Master Link Assembly. WLL Range from 5600kg to 169,000kg
Crosby A-345 / FALA-2696


- Alloy Steel, Quenched and Tempered.
- Individually Proof Tested to values shown, with certification.
- Proof Tested with 60% inside width special fixtures sized to prevent localised point loading per ASTM A952.
- Forgings have a Product Identification Code (PIC) for material traceability, along with the size, the name Crosby and USA in raised lettering.
- Selected sizes designated with “W” in the size column have enlarged inside dimensions to allow additional room for sling hardware and crane hook.
- Incorporates patented QUIC-CHECK® deformation indicators.
- Meets or exceeds all requirements of ASME B30.26 including identification, ductility, design factor, proof load and temperature requirements. Importantly,
- these links meet other critical performance requirements including fatigue life, impact properties and material traceability, not addressed by ASME B30.26.
