What connecting links does Holloway Houston stock from Gunnebo Industries?

Holloway Houston distributes Gunnebo connecting links, used to join chain lengths or connect chain to another fitting mid-assembly, as part of its broader chain and hardware line. Each listing shows the model, working load limit, and material grade, so a specific part can be matched to a project spec without cross-referencing a separate catalog.

Are Gunnebo connecting links interchangeable with other brands?

Fit and rated capacity are specific to each manufacturer's part, so a Gunnebo connecting link is matched to the chain grade and diameter it's joining rather than assumed interchangeable with another brand's link. Mixing brands within the same rigging assembly is common in the field, but the individual part's own stamped rating governs the connection, not the rating of the piece it's paired with.

What is the working load limit of Gunnebo connecting links?

Working load limit depends on the chain grade and diameter it's made to join, so it's stamped on the part and shown on Gunnebo's own documentation. Checking the stamped rating against the specific part number avoids assuming one working load limit applies across every size in the line, since capacity typically increases with size or grade.

How do I get technical documentation for a Gunnebo connecting link?

Manufacturer datasheets and certificates for Gunnebo products are available through Holloway Houston at the point of sale. Holloway Houston distributes this line rather than manufacturing it, so documentation comes from Gunnebo, routed through Holloway Houston. Having the part number on hand when requesting a document speeds up the match, since certificates typically reference the individual lot or serial number rather than serving as a generic model sheet.
