*  Minimum Ultimate Load is 5 times 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. 
    ** Proof test load equals or exceeds the requirement of ASTM A952(8.1) and ASME B30.9-1.4 for the chain size and     number of legs.
      Welded  Master Link.

    For use with chain slings, see page 202.
