Description
The Markussens BOSS Split Link series offers high-quality stainless steel connectors designed for demanding marine, fishing and rigging applications. These split links are engineered so that chains, wires or nettings can be joined or repaired efficiently without full disassembly, allowing quicker maintenance aboard Irish vessels operating in tough saltwater conditions.
The DL20 variant is rated to 0.5 tonne, while the larger DL21 is rated to 1.4 tonne working load limit (WLL). Each version uses cast marine-grade stainless steel, giving superior corrosion resistance – a key benefit around the Irish coast, where frequent spray and salt-laden air demand reliability. Their robust design ensures durability for commercial marine use, making the links ideal for deck‐fittings, net repairs, mooring terminations or general underwater rigging.
By choosing Markussens, operators gain a trusted brand with documented dimensions and load ratings, helping to meet safety and traceability requirements common in Irish marine operations.
Features
- Precision-cast stainless steel construction for high corrosion resistance.
- Clearly‐marked working load limits (0.5 T for DL20, 1.4 T for DL21) for safe selection.
- Split link design – faster connect/disconnect compared to fully welded links.
- Size variants cater to different load applications: DL20 for lighter loads, DL21 for heavier-duty.
- Designed and manufactured by Markussens with marine-industry pedigree, assuring quality and compatibility.
- Suitable for harsh marine environments – ideal around Ireland’s coastline where reliability matters.
- Dimensions provided support proper fitment with chain, wire or net rigs, reducing mismatch or failure risk.
- Low-maintenance hardware – stainless finish means less frequent replacement vs standard steel in marine contexts.
