*Ultimate Load is 5 times the Working Load Limit. Based on single leg sling (in-line load), or resultant load on multiple legs with an included angle less than or equal to 120 degrees. Applications with wire rope and synthetic sling generally require a design factor of 5. **Proof Test Load equals or exceeds the requirement of ASTM A952(8.1) and ASME B30.9. †Offshore Container Master Links Proof Tested to 2.5 times the Working Load Limit with 70 percent fixtures. †† Welded Master Link.
