One of the main advantages of G80 Chain Fittings is their ability to offer abrasion resistance

Jul 21,2023
Grade 80 Chain Fittings are manufactured using high-quality alloy steel, designed to perform at high levels. They are suited for overhead lifting applications and have a protective powder-coated finish. These chains are available in different grades, with higher grades being better at resisting bending and impact.
One of the main advantages of G80 Chain Fittings is their ability to offer abrasion resistance. In addition, the fittings are tested throughout the manufacturing process, and rated for overhead lifting. This chain is made from heat-treated alloy steel, with a safety factor of 4 to 1, meaning it is safe to use.
Historically, the grade 80 chain has dominated the rigging industry. However, it has been challenged recently by the introduction of the G100, which is a stronger chain that offers a more ergonomic design. The Grade 100 chain sling is a European-manufactured, hardened and tempered alloy steel chain, which has increased abrasion resistance and offers a 25% higher working load limit than its predecessor, the Grade 80 chain. It can be used for many rigging and lifting applications, from construction to mining to heavy equipment.
In addition to being more powerful, the Grade 120 chain is the best choice for rigging applications in rugged environments. It has an impressive 50% higher strength than the typical grade 80 chain, making it a much better choice for many lifting applications. It is also lighter in weight, which makes it possible to have smaller chains without sacrificing strength or abrasion resistance.
While the G80 chain has the highest breaking chain load rating, the grade 100 chain offers a 25% larger working load limit. This chain is a great option for most lifting applications and is available in a wide range of sizes. It is made of alloy steel and is hardened and tempered for improved abrasion and impact resistance.
Overall, the grade 80 chain is a tough and sturdy chain, suitable for any rigging application. It is also approved for overhead lifting, and it has an abrasion-resistant coating. When purchasing a G80 Chain Fitting, make sure it is heat-treated and does not contain galvanized materials. Additionally, ensure it has the proper markings for safety purposes.
