We also stock a wide variety of chain lifting equipment accessories, including chain hooks, pins, eyebolts, and more.

• Load Range 12.5 – 32.5 tonnes
• Single, 2, 3, & 4 leg variation
• Grade 80, 100 & 120
• Alloy steel chains adapt to the shape of the load
• Minimum elongation under load
• Longer Service Life
• Resistance against crushing, kinking, impact, cuts & abrasions.
• Suitable to high Working Temperatures.

• There are 4 distinct chain sling types in use. A short link chain is the most common. People use long links for lashing. Calibrated chains are used with chain blocks, and stud chains in anchor handling for ships.
• There are 2 broad categories of chains. Welded, non-graded chains, and weldless chains. Many chain types fall into these categories and depending on applicability, you might come across them in your life.
• For industries where heavy loads are lifted; the most common welded, non-graded chain is the passing link chain, with wide link design. This enables links to pass each other without restriction, minimising tangling and kinking.
• For weldless chains, you are likely to encounter a steel sash chain. It’s a flat metal chain suitable for industrial assemblies. With a stamped, flat link that can operate smoothly over pulleys, it’s designed for optimal counter-balancing.
• We recommend that all businesses use a Grade 80 or Grade 100 stainless steel or alloy chain slings for lifting. These chains have high tensile strength and are heat-treated for optimal operation.

• Chain lifting equipment has different grades in relation to the chain itself. Grades 30, 40, 60, and 70 are not suitable for lifting.
• Grade 80 is suitable for lifting and in fact, it is the most common chain grade for manual lifting. It’s used for slings, magnets, heavy-duty dragging, and pulling.
• Grade 100 chains are approximately 25% stronger than Grade 80 chains and also approved for lifting.
• Also remember that the more chain legs you add, the more you increase the tensile strength in proportion. A 4-leg chain sling will lift a higher load than a 2-leg chain sling. For the best safety, always have components able to lift more than your average load value.
• Types of hooks offered include ratchet binder, lever binder, turnbuckle, clevis slip hooks, and clevis grab hooks.
