Snapper™ Weak Link

The Snapper™ Weak Link is essentially a link introduced to a lifting chain

For all situations where a controlled emergency release point is required, the Imenco Snapper™ Weak Link range provides the perfect solution in ensuring a high safety standard for your lifting operations.

The Snapper™ Weak Link is essentially a link introduced to a lifting chain, which is designed to ensure that an emergency release breaking point/value is included in the chain.

This ensures that other components/elements in the chain are protected, i.e.: costly equipment, and/or where safety due to unforeseen breakage is a factor.

This is achieved by the use of a “shear pin” with a pre-determined shear value.

** See table under Specifications below for available standard shear pin range for the different weak link types.
