The Grade 100 Omega Link (OML Type) is a high-strength connecting component featuring a specialized wide-bow design, primarily used to seamlessly join chain to webbing, master links, or other heavy-duty lifting fittings.

Wide Body Clearance: Engineered with a spacious, smooth omega-shaped bow that protects synthetic sling fibers from damage and accommodates hardware with larger thicknesses.
Clevis Attachment: The integrated load pin mechanism provides a fast, robust, and secure direct connection to Grade 100 chain without the need for additional coupling links.
Grade 100 Strength: Forged from quenched and tempered premium alloy steel, delivering approximately 25% greater lifting capacity than standard Grade 80 links.
Heavy-Duty Reliability: Manufactured to strict EN 1677-1 standards and thoroughly proof-tested, ensuring safe performance in rigorous overhead lifting and rigging applications.

Grade 100 Omega Link / Webbing Connector - OML Type

Wide Body Connector for Synthetic Slings

Grade 100 Alloy Steel Wide Webbing Bearing Hammerlock Top Sling Protection

*Wide body protects synthetic sling fibers

Product Features

Perfect Bridge: The ideal connector for joining Grade 100 Chain components to Synthetic Slings (Webbing or Round Slings). It bridges the gap between "hard" and "soft" rigging.
Sling Protection (Wide Body): Features a distinct bow shape with a wide, flat load-bearing surface. Unlike standard connecting links, this design distributes the load evenly across the width of the webbing, preventing "bunching" and cutting of the textile fibers.
Hammerlock Top: The upper section utilizes a standard connecting link mechanism (load pin and locking sleeve), allowing for easy, tool-free assembly onto chains or master links.
Grade 100 Strength: Manufactured from high-tensile G100 alloy steel, offering 25% greater capacity than Grade 80 equivalents.
Durability: Color-coded (typically Blue) powder coated finish for easy identification and corrosion protection.
Standard: Compliant with EN 1677 performance requirements.

Connecting Synthetic Slings: Best Practice

Connector	Bearing Surface	Impact on Webbing
Omega Link (OML) (This Product)	Wide & Flat	Safe. Designed specifically for slings. Spreads the load to prevent cutting and abrasion.
Standard Connector (CNL) (Hammerlock)	Round & Narrow	Harmful. The narrow cross-section cuts into the fibers, significantly reducing sling strength.

Grade 100 Sling Components are high-strength alloy steel lifting accessories designed for heavy-duty lifting applications. Compared with Grade 80, Grade 100 offers higher working load limits (WLL) at the same size, or the same WLL with a smaller, lighter component.

What Does "Grade 100" Mean?

High-Strength Alloy: Heat-treated, quenched, and tempered steel.
Increased Capacity: Typically 25% higher WLL than Grade 80.
Safety Factor: Minimum breaking force ≈ 4 × WLL.
Standards: EN 818-4 / EN 818-6, ASTM equivalents.

Identification & Markings

Every Grade 100 component must be clearly marked with:

Grade: G100 or 10
Manufacturer's Mark
Size or WLL
Traceability Code (Batch / Heat Number)

⚠️ Safety & Compatibility Warning

❌ NEVER mix Grade 100 with Grade 80 components in the same sling assembly.
✅ Use only Grade 100 chain + Grade 100 fittings together.
Regularly inspect for wear (>10%), cracks, deformation, heat damage, or corrosion.
