Grade 100 Lifting Chain

No.5040

H-Lift Grade 100 Lifting Chain is a premium, high-strength alloy steel chain designed specifically for heavy-duty overhead lifting, offering approximately 25% higher lifting capacity than standard Grade 80 chains.

  • Superior Strength: Manufactured from hardened and tempered alloy steels, providing a minimum tensile strength of 1000 N/mm² for maximum lifting capability.
  • Enhanced Durability: Features high resistance to impact, wear, and abrasion, extending the operational life of the chain in demanding industrial environments.
  • Lighter Weight Solutions: Because of its higher strength capacity, users can safely opt for a smaller, lighter chain size compared to Grade 80, improving ergonomic handling.
  • Advanced Coatings: Frequently available with blue E-coating (electrophoretic coating) or black E-coating, which significantly enhances protection against rust and corrosion while improving aesthetics.

Product Features

  • Superior Strength Manufactured from premium alloy steel, Grade 100 chain offers a 25% higher Working Load Limit (WLL) compared to standard Grade 80 chain of the same size.
  • Lightweight Solution Higher strength allows for smaller diameter chain to lift the same load. This reduces total sling weight, making it easier for operators to handle and reducing fatigue.
  • Standard Compliance Meets or exceeds the requirements of ASTM A973, PAS 1061, and EN 818-2 (dimensional).
  • Tough & Durable High hardness provides better resistance to wear and abrasion, extending service life in harsh environments like mining and construction.
  • Distinct Identification Typically painted in distinct colors (e.g., Blue or Grey) and stamped with "G100" or "10" for easy identification and to prevent mixing with lower grades.
  • Proof Tested Proof loaded to 2.5 times the WLL with a design safety factor of 4:1.

Grade 100 Sling Components are high-strength alloy steel lifting accessories designed for heavy-duty lifting applications. Compared with Grade 80, Grade 100 offers higher working load limits (WLL) at the same size, or the same WLL with a smaller, lighter component.

What Does "Grade 100" Mean?

  • High-Strength Alloy: Heat-treated, quenched, and tempered steel.
  • Increased Capacity: Typically 25% higher WLL than Grade 80.
  • Safety Factor: Minimum breaking force ≈ 4 × WLL.
  • Standards: EN 818-4 / EN 818-6, ASTM equivalents.

Identification & Markings

Every Grade 100 component must be clearly marked with:

  • Grade: G100 or 10
  • Manufacturer's Mark
  • Size or WLL
  • Traceability Code (Batch / Heat Number)
⚠️ Safety & Compatibility Warning
  • NEVER mix Grade 100 with Grade 80 components in the same sling assembly.
  • ✅ Use only Grade 100 chain + Grade 100 fittings together.
  • Regularly inspect for wear (>10%), cracks, deformation, heat damage, or corrosion.

Blue E-coating (electrophoretic coating) is a specialized corrosion-resistant finish applied to the surface of Grade 100 lifting chains. It provides enhanced protection against rust, improves aesthetics, and offers a distinct visual indicator for grade identification in busy industrial environments.

🛡️ Corrosion Resistance

Creates a bonded protective layer that makes the chain highly resistant to rust and moisture. Essential for outdoor construction, mining, and offshore operations.

👁️ Visual Identification

Color Coding: The distinct blue color serves as an immediate visual indicator, making it easy to distinguish Grade 100 (Blue) from Grade 80 (typically Black) to prevent mismatching.

⛓️ Durability

The E-coating process applies a uniform, consistent layer even between links, ensuring thorough protection that extends the chain's service life.

✨ Aesthetics

Provides a clean, professional finish. While functional, it is also beneficial for applications where the visual appearance of rigging gear matters.

Usage & Maintenance

Chains with blue E-coating are commonly used in heavy-duty lifting industries like construction and mining where strength and environmental resistance are critical.

⚠️ Maintenance Reminder: While E-coating provides excellent protection, it is not a substitute for regular inspection. Always check for signs of wear, nicks, gouges, or coating damage that could expose the base metal to corrosion. Follow manufacturer guidelines to ensure safety.
