SKU: 783 | Stress Links ” Compatible with Lug-All Model 500-A-FH (1/4-Ton Web Strap Hoist) Your Hoist's First Line of Defense Against Overload ” Replace Your Stress Links Before You Need Them In the safety architecture of the Lug-All web strap hoist system, the stress link is the most critical and time-sensitive replaceable component you will ever need ” and the one you should always have on hand before it breaks. The SKU 783 Stress Links are genuine OEM replacement parts designed specifically for the Lug-All model 500-A-FH, a 1/4-ton web strap winch hoist with 17 feet of web strap and a 500-pound single line capacity that includes a fiberglass handle with stress links that break when the hoist becomes overloaded, protecting the user and equipment. Once a stress link breaks ” and it will if an overload occurs ” the hoist cannot be safely returned to service until a new stress link is installed. SKU 783 ensures you are never waiting on this critical small part when your crew needs the hoist back in action. Lug-All Understanding exactly what the stress link does ” and why it is irreplaceable ” is essential for every hoist operator. The stress link is designed to break at 125 percent of the hoist's maximum capacity, which means it will break before any critical structural parts of the hoist ” the hooks, the pawl, the frame ” reach their breaking point. This deliberate, engineered failure provides a clear, immediate signal that an overload condition has occurred, while simultaneously protecting the hoist's load-bearing components from forces that could cause catastrophic structural failure. The overload link has elongated holes that allow enough movement for the stress link to snap, while still holding the handle socket assembly together ” and once the stress link snaps, the hoist should not be used again until the link is replaced. Lug-AllLug-All The consequence of operating without a functional stress link is serious. If a handle assembly only has the overload link, you will not know if an overload condition exists ” the hoist can easily become more and more overloaded until one of the essential parts can no longer bear the weight, meaning the hoist could fail catastrophically, resulting in severe damage to the hoist or serious injury to the operator or nearby personnel. The stress link is not optional safety equipment ” it is the active overload warning system that makes safe operation possible. Lug-All Replacement is straightforward. Replacing the stress link is extremely inexpensive and quite easy to install ” the benefit to replacing the stress link is that it gets your hoist back to full safe working condition quickly. It is also important to note that attempting to use two overload links instead of one stress link and one overload link will provide excessive strength and eliminate the safety valve action of the handle, which can cause extensive damage to the hoist. Always replace the stress link with the correct OEM part ” never substitute. Lug-AllLug-All All Lug-All Come Along Ratchet Winch Hoists are equipped with a stress link system, shear pin, or bendable handle to protect you from possible overload damage and injury ” and for the 500-A-FH, the stress link is that protection.
