Stainless steel quick links provide a strong and secure way of connecting chains, cables and ropes. Each steel quick link operates on the principle of a chain link fitted with a threaded nut, creating a reliable semi-permanent connection that is easy to use and resistant to accidental opening caused by vibration.
These stainless steel quick links are widely used across marine, construction, agriculture and outdoor activities such as camping and hiking, where strong connectors are required for chains, ropes and equipment.
Maillon Rapide Stainless Steel Quick Links
As official UK distributors for Maillon Rapide, we supply their world-respected range of stainless steel quick links manufactured from stainless steel A4 – AISI 316 marine grade material.
This marine grade stainless steel offers excellent corrosion resistance in saltwater environments, making it ideal for marine chains, anchor systems and rigging hardware.
Our stock of stainless steel quick links includes sizes from 3mm to 16mm, with breaking loads ranging from 800kg to 22,500kg depending on size (mm) and product design.
Available shapes include:
Standard oval quick links – general purpose connections
Large mouth steel quick links – wider jaw opening for easier chain connection
Delta stainless steel quick links – ideal for webbing straps and load distribution
Each product is stamped with the Working Load Limit (WLL) and designed to ensure safe and reliable connections when connecting chains and ropes.
Marine and Outdoor Applications
Stainless steel quick links are widely used in marine environments where durability and corrosion resistance are essential.
Typical uses include:
- connecting anchor chains and rigging hardware
- securing ropes and chains in mooring systems
- marine deck hardware connections
- outdoor equipment for camping and hiking
Because 316 marine grade stainless steel resists corrosion in saltwater, these stainless steel quick links are suitable for long-term marine use where standard steel connectors may deteriorate.
Standard Quick Links
In addition to the Maillon Rapide range, we also offer standard stainless steel quick links and galvanised steel quick links as an economical alternative for lower-load applications.
These connectors are available in sizes from 3.5mm to 12mm and are suitable for general fastening tasks where load ratings are lower and safety certification is not required.
