Introducing Link-It Max™ for Lifting Applications
Aug 22, 2024
Samson, the leading developer of high-performance synthetic rope solutions worldwide, is pleased to announce the addition of Link-It Max™, a high-performance soft shackle explicitly designed for lifting applications.
Rounding out the popular Link-It family of products, Link-It Max is a button-knot soft shackle made with Samson’s flagship Amsteel®Blue 12-strand rope and a durable chafe jacket with a unique and patent pending secondary locking mechanism. Link-It Max is a lightweight and safe alternative to traditional steel shackles. Short connection lengths and flexibility provide ease of handling when added to existing lifting systems. Rated to handle Working Load Limits from 5-130 tons, it is available in various lengths. Each soft shackle comes tagged with rating information and is designed in alignment with the principles defined by ASME B30.26 and B30.9-4.
Link-It Max works seamlessly with Samson’s Taurus lifting slings, creating a perfect lightweight lifting assembly.
“Building on the success Samson's Link-It soft shackles have found in replacing heavy steel shackles in Workboat and Mining towing systems, we are thrilled to be able to offer a soft shackle specifically for use in lifting systems.”
- Gavin McWilliams, Product Line Manager – Energy & Specialty
Soft shackles bring something to the lifting industry that is not seen with heavy steel shackles, namely improved safety. They're easier to handle because of their light weight and flexibility, and the reduced change-out time for crews is critical to maintaining operational efficiency.
