The trawlex TL connector is the most popular and versatile component in the Trawlex range and can be used to make connections between many parts of the trawl rig. Unlike connectors which rely on forging tolerances, the half links of the TL connector are finely machined to make assembly easy and reduce the effects of fatigue, resulting in longer life.

Trawlex components are designed to have the strength equal to that of the appropriate size of chain to which they are attached. They are available in the widest range of types and sizes to suit all fishing applications. Component dimensions are carefully controlled to ensure that they will take only the correct size of chain.

Method Of Assembly

TRAWLEX components incorporate a clevis and oval load pin secured by means of retaining pins. In each case, the end link of the chain is inserted in the clevis, the oval load pin is inserted into the jaws of the clevis with the grooves aligned with the retaining pin holes and the retaining pins driven home.
