cromox® stainless steel master links and sub-assemblies – perfect for your LIFTING application

cromox® stainless steel master links and sub-assemblies are manufactured by machine with the utmost precision.

With their corrosion resistance and high-quality surface, they are ideal for use in clean rooms, the food industry, meat processing, the chemical industry, and the pharmaceutical sector. But the oval rings made of stainless steel also impress with their long-term resistance in offshore applications when used in salt water or in pickling plants in contact with acids. cromox® master links are available in "1-leg" and "2-leg" versions and the cromox® sub-assemblies are available in "3-leg" and "4-leg" versions.

All our master links have something in common:

• Made from 1.4462 Duplex / AISI 318LN stainless steel
• Optionally with flat point for mounting connecting shackles
• Correspond to Grade 60 


With the cromox® stainless steel sub-assemblies for chains, we complete our holistic stainless steel product portfolio designed for system solutions.

Corrosion-resistant master links and sub-assemblies offer safety and durability in challenging environmental conditions

The use of corrosion-resistant materials is essential in environments with high corrosion resistance requirements, such as chemical plants, in the maritime or offshore industry or in areas exposed to severe weather conditions. Master links and sub-assemblies made of stainless steel play an important role here, as they ensure the stable and secure suspension of objects.

These components must be made of materials that can withstand these conditions, especially when exposed to high loads, such as chemicals, salt water or high temperatures.

The stainless steel chosen by Ketten Wälder GmbH for the cromox® product line is a material that is particularly suitable for these applications. The alloys with a high chromium and nickel content are particularly noteworthy here. They form a thin but very dense and stable layer of chromium oxide on the surface, which protects the underlying material from corrosion.

When selecting the right material for a sub-assembly or master link, it is important to precisely define the environment and load to which the components will be exposed. This is the only way to ensure safe, reliable, and long-term function.

System solutions in the lifting industry refer to integrated and comprehensive solutions that cover all aspects of lifting operations and are ideally offered by one manufacturer in a coordinated manner. In addition to the lifting equipment itself (such as chains, lifting links and heads, load hooks, connecting links and other lifting points), this can also include the maintenance and repair of these products, training for operators and other services.

The advantage of system solutions ("everything from a single source") is that customers have a single supplier for all their product requirements in relation to lifting operations. Especially when it comes to customised system solutions, it is an advantage to have a single point of contact and manufacturer. The individual components are harmonised with each other. This can improve the efficiency and effectiveness of lifting operations and production processes, reduce the risk of problems or errors, and cut costs.
