Grade 80 chains are generally used alongside cranes or lifting equipment, acting as a sling for general lifting. The fact that they are grade 80 means they are very strong and their purposes will be varied; they can have many different uses across multiple industries.
Properties of Grade 80 Chains
Grade 80 chains are made from alloy steel, which gives them a higher strength-to-weight ratio compared to lower grade chains. They are heat-treated to achieve their superior mechanical properties, making them suitable for overhead lifting applications.
These chains are commonly used in construction, manufacturing, shipbuilding, and the oil and gas industry. They must be regularly inspected for wear and damage, and should only be used within their rated capacity.
