Description
William Hackett Hack10 Grade 10 Connector
The William Hackett Hack10 Grade 10 Connector is a core component in any Hackett Grade 10 chain sling assembly. It connects lengths of chain to master links and sub assemblies. It also connects chain to end fittings such as shackles and eye hooks.
The connector is manufactured from alloy steel in accordance with EN 1677-1, ASTM A952/A952M and DIN PAS 1061. It is suitable for use in chain slings certified to EN 818-4.
DGUV Test H-Mark Certified
The Hack10 connector has been independently verified and awarded the DGUV Test H-Mark for lifting components, under number H83. This third-party accreditation gives extra assurance of the connector’s quality and performance, on top of the manufacturer’s own testing.
25% Stronger Than Grade 8
The Hack10 connector is 25% stronger than its Grade 8 equivalent. This gives a higher Working Load Limit without needing a larger-diameter chain sling. You can often specify a smaller chain size than Grade 8 for the same capacity, which means lighter rigging that is easier to handle and position.
Tested for Quality and Traceability
William Hackett crack-detects every connector after heat treatment and proof load tests it to 2.5 times its Working Load Limit. These checks help confirm the integrity of each component before it enters service.
Wide Operating Temperature Range
The Hack10 connector can be used from -40°C to +200°C with no reduction in Working Load Limit. This makes it suitable for cold outdoor sites, renewables work and warmer industrial settings.
Size & Compatibility
The Hack10 connector is available for chain sizes from 6mm to 32mm, with Working Load Limits from 1.4 tonnes to 40 tonnes. It is designed to be used with:
- Hack10 Grade 10 lifting chain of the matching size
- Hack10 master links and sub assemblies
- Hack10 end fittings, including eye hooks, grab hooks and shackles
- Hack10 single and multi-leg chain sling assemblies

The William Hackett Hack10 Grade 10 Connector is suitable for:
- Building and repairing Grade 10 chain slings
- Connecting chain legs to master links and sub assemblies
- Attaching hooks, shackles and other end fittings to chain
- Construction lifting operations

Capacity & Load Information
The Working Load Limit of the Hack10 connector depends on the size you select. The 1.4t–40t range covers the whole product range and does not apply to every size. Always match the connector to the chain size and the required WLL of the complete assembly.
In any sling, the overall WLL is set by its configuration and its lowest-rated component. Take into account any applicable reduction factors, such as shock loading, edge loading or asymmetric loading, as set out in the manufacturer’s instructions.
