A Dacromet Grade 80 connector (often called a hammerlock or coupling link) is a high-strength alloy steel fitting designed to connect chain to hooks, master links, or trailer anchor points, typically featuring a specialized silver-coloured corrosion-resistant galvanized coating. These connectors are commonly used for heavy-duty lifting and secure towing in harsh environments. Key Features & Applications: Material: Quenched and tempered Grade 80 alloy steel for high tensile strength and durability. Coating: Dacromet coating provides exceptional corrosion resistance superior to zinc plating, making it ideal for marine, agricultural, and industrial applications. Design: A two-piece coupling link that locks with a steel pin and retaining bush, allowing for easy assembly/disassembly. Capacity: Commonly available in various sizes (e.g., 10mm, 13mm) with load ratings compliant with Australian standards (AS 3776). Usage: Connecting lifting components, attaching safety chains to vehicles and chain slings.
