Product Overview

 


Direct factory manufacturer of premium Grade 100 (G100) alloy lifting chains engineered for overhead crane operations, heavy-duty chain slings, mining equipment, and offshore rigging. Engineered from micro-alloyed 23MnNiCrMo5 steel, our G100 chains deliver 25% higher working load capacity than standard Grade 80 chains of the same link diameter, drastically reducing total assembly weight and operator fatigue.


Fully heat-treated, 100% proof-load tested, and supplied with EN 10204 3.1 Inspection Certificates.

 

Key Advantages

 


25% Higher Loading Efficiency: Lift heavier payloads without increasing chain size. A 10mm G100 chain achieves a 4.0-Ton WLL, matching or exceeding the performance of a heavier 13mm G80 chain.

 

Reduced Assembly Weight: Lighter chain slings allow easier manual handling, lower freight costs, and reduced physical fatigue for rigging technicians.

 

Micro-Alloyed Steel Construction (23MnNiCrMo5): Advanced alloy formulation with balanced Nickel, Chromium, and Molybdenum ensures high impact resistance and structural integrity under dynamic shock loading.

 

100% Continuous Proof Testing: Every meter of chain undergoes proof loading at 2.5 times its Working Load Limit (WLL) on automated vertical tensile testing beds before final surface coating.

 

Permanent Embossed Identification: Stamped with "G10" or "G100" plus traceable mill batch codes every meter for immediate job-site safety verification.

FAQ

 

 

Q: What is the key advantage of Grade 100 chain over Grade 80 chain?

A: Grade 100 chain offers a 25% higher Working Load Limit (WLL) than Grade 80 chain of the same diameter. This allows users to downsize their chain diameter without compromising load capacity, leading to lighter, more manageable lifting slings.

Q: Can Grade 100 chains be connected to Grade 80 components?

A: For overhead lifting applications, all rigging components in a sling assembly (master links, hooks, connecting links) must match the lowest rated component. While G100 chain can physically fit G80 fittings, the overall assembly WLL will be downgraded to Grade 80 standards. Mixing grades is not recommended.

Q: What standard regulates Grade 100 alloy chain manufacturing?

A: Grade 100 chain is manufactured according to PAS 1061, ASTM A973/A973M, and modified EN 818-2 criteria to satisfy international overhead lifting requirements.

Q: What export quality documentation do you provide with bulk orders?

A: Each order is shipped with a Commercial Invoice, Packing List, Bill of Lading, EN 10204 3.1 Mill Test Certificate, Proof Load Test Certificate, and Certificate of Origin (upon request).
