Oil and Gas
Introduction
The movement of equipment in the oil and gas industry never stops. All equipment moved from vessels to rigs and platforms needs to have a permanent lifting set attached. These are normally wire rope assemblies that have an offshore master link or sub assembly to connect to a crane hook.
Solutions
A significant risk for lifting equipment in offshore environments is material brittleness. Extreme environments such as subzero temperatures can effect particularly hard materials.
It can cause them to lose ductility and become brittle, increasing the chances fracture and failure during lifting operations posing a threat to workers and valuable equipment.
Controlling material hardness whilst maintaining strength is crucial for offshore lifting equipment.
William Hackett designed the range of HA links and together with our manufacturing partners Mckinnon Chain, we have been supplying them to rigging shops globally since 1990.
In recent years we have partnered with key distributors in strategic locations to help manage the increasing global demand for HA Links.
"We've been using William Hackett HA links for years, and we've been consistently impressed with their proven reliability, quality, and availability. Their global stock availability has been a huge benefit to us, as we can always get the products we need when we need them. They've been a reliable partner for our lifting and rigging needs."
