General Purpose Grade 80 Chain—For Lifting

Strong and durable, use this chain for your lifting applications. It is heat treated and stamped with the grade and manufacturer. When using fittings with chain, you must match the trade size and meet or exceed the chain’s grade.

Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.

Wear Gauge

Gauge measures the maximum allowable wear tolerances on links of Grade 80 and Grade 100 steel chain, as required by OSHA. If the gauge can be inserted over any part of the link, the chain should be taken out of service.

High-Strength Grade 100 Chain—For Lifting

This chain is approximately 25% stronger than Grade 80 chain. It's heat treated and stamped with the grade and manufacturer. When using fittings with chain, you must match the trade size and meet or exceed the chain’s grade.

Zinc-plated steel chain has good corrosion resistance.

Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.

Links with Chain-Shortening Hooks—For Lifting

With One Hook

With Two Hooks

A pear-shaped link and hook for chain shortening allow you to create an adjustable-length chain sling. These links meet strict ASTM safety standards for lifting.

Note: Capacities for links with one hook are for vertical lifting only. Capacities for links with two hooks are based on two-leg sling assemblies.

Latching hooks allow you to quickly release a load. The chain provides strength and ruggedness to withstand harsh working conditions. Slings include a tag that shows chain grade and size, length, and capacities in each configuration.

Note: Do not use slings at an angle less than 30°.

Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.
