Lifting chain

Grade 80, 100 and 120 alloy are by far the most common chains and fittings used in lifting applications. Some steel mills still use Grade 63 alloy chain for lifting but it is mostly limited to that industry and many of the chains have been changed to Grade 80 and 100 over the years.
The down side of chain is that the weight of the product makes it difficult to manipulate in some industry applications. We recommend using only Grade 80, 100 and 120 products for lifting as well as other products that are Proof Tested and approved as per the manufacturers recommendation and specifications. Ensure the products being used are from a reputable manufacturer and are designed for overhead lifting. NEVER USE Grade 30, 40 or 70 chain for lifting; ONLY Grade 80, 100 and 120 chain and fittings are commonly rated for lifting.
