A: No. A triangle plate (or delta plate) has holes drilled in it. A Super Shore 1x3 Link is a forged continuous loop with specific internal radii. Triangle plates are for bolted connections; links are for hook connections.
The Super Shore 1x3 Link has a "natural" orientation. The manufacturer's stamp should face outward for visual inspection. The link should hang vertically; if it tilts before lifting, your sling lengths are mismatched. Safety Protocols and Inspection Checklist Given that a failure of the 1x3 link results in a complete loss of load control, daily inspection is non-negotiable.
Insert the third sling into the center lower ring (or the remaining outer ring, depending on the specific casting).
