Clevis Pear Shaped Link
Product Description
Clevis Pear Shaped Link Product Overview
Forged Alloy Steel Clevis Pear Shaped Links (also known as Clevis Teardrop Links or Clevis Lug Links) are high-strength rigging hardware designed for seamless chain termination. Featuring an integrated clevis head with a robust retaining pin, these pear-shaped links connect directly to transport chains without requiring an intermediate coupling link. The unique tapered teardrop geometric shape centers pulling forces perfectly, making them excellent terminal attachments for Grade 70 transport tie-downs, towing recovery chains, vehicle dragging, and commercial cargo securement.

Clevis Pear Shaped Link Key Features & Benefits
· Precision Die-Forged Alloy Steel
Quenched and tempered heat-treated structural alloy steel delivers immense load elasticity, enhanced yield limits, and exceptional resistance against brittle fracturing under severe towing pressures.
· Direct-to-Chain Clevis Fitting
The built-in clevis slot bypasses the need for independent connecting links (like hammerlocks). This creates a direct, cleaner, and more cost-effective connection between your transport chain and master hooks or shackles.
· Load-Centering Teardrop Design
The pear-shaped body provides a wide, smooth lower loop radius that naturally funnels and stabilizes the hook or anchor point to the exact center apex, preventing risky load shifting or edge chafing during pulling.
· Superior Electro-Galvanized Finish
Treated with an industry-grade gold chromate (yellow zinc / galvanized) plating matrix that provides outstanding shielding against atmospheric moisture, road de-icing salt, and high-friction scraping.
Clevis Pear Shaped Link Factory Advantages
· Integrated Forging Shop Scale
We operate multiple heavy-tonnage automated forging presses and high-speed CNC center-pin machining lines, guaranteeing perfect part alignment and dimensional accuracy across bulk order batches.
· Rigorous NDT Quality Control
Our certified labs perform 100% batch validations. Every production run undergoes extensive magnetic particle inspection (MPI) for subsurface defects, alongside random destructive ultimate tensile strength tests.
· Complete Wholesale Customization
We support B2B distributors by engraving custom brand logos, specific weight ratings, and material grade stamps ("G70", "G80", or "M") directly into the steel molds during the forging stage.
· Global Export Cost Benefits
Buy direct from the source to eliminate trading margins. We provide optimal export container pallet configurations, flexible OEM manufacturing schedules, and direct engineering documentation support.
Clevis Pear Shaped Link Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is the main structural advantage of a Clevis Pear Shaped Link?
A: The clevis head allows the link to attach directly into the end of a chain link with a single pin, saving you the expense of purchasing separate connectors. Additionally, the pear-shaped loop provides a narrow neck for secure seating alongside a wide loop base that accommodates bulky towing hooks or crane hoist interfaces smoothly.
Q2: Are these clevis lug links approved for heavy overhead lifting?
A: When configured as Grade 70 components, they are designed and certified strictly for cargo restraint, tie-down, dragging, and towing applications, which are not approved for overhead hoisting. If your distribution channel requires overhead lifting capabilities, please specify your order for our Grade 80 / Grade 100 super alloy steel models, which follow lifting safety compliance standards.
Q3: What verification records accompany a factory wholesale container order?
A: Every export shipment is coupled with a traceable Mill Test Certificate (MTC). This official document charts the steel alloy chemistry composition, batch heat treatment identification codes, proof load test verifications, and certified ultimate mechanical breaking scores.
Q4: What is the standard packaging type and MOQ for global distributors?
A: Our standard shipping setup utilizes inner moisture-proof cartons stacked on fumigation-free wooden export pallets. We maintain a high inventory of raw forgings for core sizes (5/16", 3/8", 1/2"), enabling a short lead time of 25–35 days.
