G100 Lifting Chain EN818-2

The G100 lifting chain EN818-2 is a high-strength alloy steel chain designed for demanding lifting and rigging operations. Manufactured according to the EN818-2 lifting chain standard, this Grade 100 chain offers superior durability, safety, and load capacity.

Compared with traditional Grade 80 lifting chains, the G100 chain provides approximately 25% higher working load limits, allowing users to lift heavier loads while using smaller chain sizes. This improves efficiency and reduces the total weight of lifting equipment.

Our Grade 100 lifting chains are widely used for manufacturing chain slings, lifting assemblies, overhead lifting equipment, and heavy industrial rigging systems.

Lifting Chain Surface Treatment Guide

Types of Lifting Chain Surface Treatment

Lifting chains can be supplied with different surface treatment finishes depending on the working environment and corrosion resistance requirements. Proper surface treatment improves the durability, corrosion resistance, and service life of the lifting chain.

The most common lifting chain surface treatments include the following options:

Black Oxide (Self Color)

Black oxide finish is the most widely used treatment for alloy steel lifting chains. It provides basic corrosion protection while maintaining the natural steel appearance. This finish is commonly used for Grade 80 and Grade 100 lifting chains used in indoor environments.

Powder Coated Lifting Chain

Powder coating adds an extra protective layer to the chain surface and improves wear resistance. Colored powder coatings are often used to distinguish different lifting chain grades, such as orange for Grade 80 or special colors for Grade 100 chains.

Electro Galvanized Chain

Electro galvanized chains have a thin zinc coating that improves corrosion resistance. This surface treatment is suitable for light outdoor applications or environments with moderate humidity.

Hot Dip Galvanized Chain

Hot dip galvanizing provides a thicker zinc layer, offering superior corrosion protection. This finish is recommended for marine environments, offshore lifting operations, and outdoor construction projects.

Yellow Chromate Finish

Yellow chromate plating provides additional corrosion protection and gives the chain a distinctive golden color. This finish is commonly used in transport chains and rigging hardware.

Choosing the correct lifting chain surface treatment depends on the working conditions, exposure to moisture, chemicals, and temperature.

Types of Lifting Chain Hooks and Attachments

Common Chain Attachments Used in Lifting Systems

To create a complete lifting system, lifting chains are usually combined with forged hooks, links, and connectors. These components form different types of chain sling assemblies used in industrial lifting applications.

Clevis Grab Hook：A clevis grab hook is designed to shorten chain length by grabbing a chain link. It is commonly used in chain slings and load binding applications.

Clevis Slip Hook：A clevis slip hook allows the chain to move freely within the hook opening, making it suitable for general lifting and rigging tasks.

Clevis Slip Hook with Safety Latch：This hook includes a safety latch mechanism that prevents accidental disengagement of the load during lifting operations. It is widely used in construction and industrial lifting systems.

Australian Cradle Hook：The Australian cradle hook features a cradle-shaped design that distributes the load more evenly across the chain link, reducing stress concentration.

Korean Bent Hook：The Korean bent hook is designed for specific rigging applications and provides a strong and reliable connection between lifting chains and loads.

Weldless Sling Links：Weldless sling links are high-strength forged rings used to connect chains with hooks, master links, or other rigging components.

Using the correct lifting chain attachments ensures safety, stability, and compliance with lifting standards.

Chain Assembly with Delta Ring and Grab Hook

Chain with Delta Ring and Grab Hook on Each End

In many material handling applications, lifting chains are supplied as pre-assembled chain assemblies.

One of the most common configurations is chain with delta ring and grab hook on each end.

This assembly usually consists of the following components:

• Delta Ring (Triangular Ring)

• High Strength Alloy Steel Chain

• Grab Hook or Slip Hook

The delta ring is used to connect the chain assembly to lifting equipment, while the grab hook allows quick and secure load attachment.

Advantages of Chain Assemblies

Using a pre-assembled chain with hooks and rings provides several advantages:

• Faster installation

• Improved lifting safety

• Reduced assembly time

• Higher working efficiency

These assemblies are widely used in cargo securing, transportation, construction lifting, and industrial material handling.

How to Choose the Right Lifting Chain Accessories

When selecting lifting chain components, it is important to ensure compatibility between the chain and accessories.

Key factors include:

Chain Grade Compatibility

All accessories should match the same chain grade, such as Grade 80 or Grade 100.

Working Load Limit (WLL)

Hooks, rings, and connectors must have a working load limit equal to or greater than the lifting chain.

Application Environment

For outdoor or marine environments, corrosion-resistant finishes such as galvanized chains are recommended.

Safety Standards

All components should comply with international lifting standards such as EN818, ISO, or ASME requirements.
