High Capacity Pear Sling Link for Overhead Rigging and Bridling
The Adaptive Technologies Group SL-625 is a heavy-duty 5/8" pear-shaped sling link used in overhead rigging applications where reliable load handling is non-negotiable. Forged from a single piece of steel, this weldless link offers superior strength and removes the risk of weld failure. With a working load limit of 2,520 lbs (1,145 kg) and a 10:1 safety factor, it’s built for suspending AV gear, lighting trusses, and structural components in high-demand environments.
Weldless One-Piece Design Increases Strength and Reliability
The SL-625’s solid, forged construction means there are no welded seams that could weaken or fail under load. This gives the link consistent tensile integrity throughout its entire body and ensures safer operation in critical suspension systems. It’s commonly used in concert venues, arenas, theaters, and commercial installations where failure is not an option.
Perfect for Bridle Rigging and Multi-Point Suspensions
The unique pear shape supports bridling configurations by accommodating two points on the wider end and a third connection at the narrow end. This setup is ideal for creating angled loads between two pick points or attaching to a third rigging component like a shackle or wire rope. Its geometry makes it adaptable for balanced rigging in both temporary and permanent structures.
Engineered for Audio, Lighting, and Structural Suspension
This high-strength sling link is an essential part of suspension systems that carry speaker clusters, lighting grids, and structural elements in public or production environments. It plays a critical role in distributing weight evenly and maintaining alignment across rigging assemblies. Paired with safety cables and properly installed by qualified professionals, it adds stability and compliance to the overall system.
Rated to Support Heavy Loads with a Built-In Safety Margin
With a working load limit of 2,520 lbs and a design factor of 10:1, the SL-625 offers an impressive safety margin for rigging applications. This means the link’s breaking strength is 10 times its rated load, offering peace of mind during rigging for large format speakers, truss assemblies, or banner systems. It's purpose-built for tough jobs where predictable performance is essential.
Easy Identification with Durable Blue Finish
A bold blue finish makes this link easy to spot during inspection or installation, even in dark rigging environments like theaters and live event venues. The coating provides a layer of corrosion resistance, extending its durability in indoor or semi-protected outdoor applications while maintaining its visibility as part of a safety-first rigging strategy.
