Abstract
A master coupling link assembly comprises a master coupling link and at least one sub-coupling link. The master coupling link has a first eye dimensioned to receive a lifting hook and at least two second eyes separated from the first eye. The at least one sub-coupling link is coupled to the master coupling link at one of the at least two second eyes, and the sub-coupling link is formed with the master coupling link.

A master coupling link assembly, comprising:
- a master coupling link having a first eye dimensioned to receive a lifting hook and at least two second eyes separated from said first eye;
- at least one sub-coupling link having a body defining a primary eye and extending through one of the second eyes of the master coupling link, the primary eye of the sub-coupling link intersecting said one of the second eyes of the master coupling link to movably couple the sub-coupling link and the master coupling link together.
A master coupling link assembly, comprising:
- a master coupling link having a first eye dimensioned to receive a lifting hook and at least two second eyes separated from said first eye;
- first and second sub-coupling links each having a body defining a primary eye and extending through a respective one of the second eyes of the master coupling link, the primary eye of each sub-coupling link intersecting said respective one of the second eyes of the master coupling link to movably and independently couple each sub-coupling link and the master coupling link together.
