• Alloy Steel — Quenched and Tempered.
• Individually Proof Tested to values shown, with certification
• Proof Tested with special fixtures sized to prevent localized point loading. See
foot notes, and reference page 276.
• Forgings have a Product Identification Code (PIC) for material traceabilit ,
along with the size, the name Crosby and USA in raised lettering.
• Selected sizes designated with “W” in the size column have enlarged inside

COLD TUFF® master links that meet the additional requirements of DNV rules
for certification of lifting appliances – Loose Gea .
• Incorporates patented QUIC-CHECK® deformation indicators.
• Meets or exceeds all requirements of ASME B30.26 including identification,

*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.
