Chain grades advertised by manufacturers are one tenth of the actual mathematical grades.
Grade 80 chain dimensions.
Grade 100 chain has a 20 percent increase in working load limit as compared to a similar size chain in grade 80.
Alloy chain grade 80 or grade 100 should be used for overhead lifting.
It is the most economical of the three chain grade types that are suitable for overhead lifting grade 80 grade 100 grade 120.
Laclede alloy grade 80 100 chain and attachments are produced to exceed the rigorous requirements of overhead lifting.
This allows you to reduce the size of the chain depending on the working load needed.
Determining chain working load limits.
Never exceed working load limits grade 80 alloy is approved for overhead lifting.
