6V2156 And 6V2157 Link Brackets Now Available To Lift Heavy Loads{0644}
Usage:
The 6V2156 and 6V2157 Link Brackets are now available for general purpose use when it is necessary to lift heavy loads (Illustration). The new 6V2156 Link Bracket has a load capacity of 2,250 lbs. (1023 kg) and is attached to the load with a .375" (9.53 mm) bolt. The new 6V2157 Link Bracket has a load capacity of 9,000 lbs. (4091 kg) and is attached to the load with a .75" (19.05 mm) bolt.
In the past, standard eyebolts have been used to lift heavy loads. These eyebolts have a decreased ability to lift loads at an angle. The bracket links can lift loads at any angle and need less clearance than an eyebolt.
