G80 Lifting Chains: Key Features, Uses & Safety Guidelines

Published on: Mar  24, 2025 | Source: chen | Hits: 0

Why are G80 Lifting Chains A Must for Heavy Duty Loads?



Chief Risks of Using Non-Compliant Chains

Low-grade chain use in heavy lifts may lead to:

  Catastrophic Breaks: Stressed chain ruptures, leading to injury hazards and equipment malfunction.

  Rust Damage: Chain deterioration by corrosion occurs with rust in the presence of marine or exterior conditions.

  Non-Compliance Penalties: Chains that do not meet OSHA or ASME B30.9 standards can result in fines.

  Repeated Replacements: Low durability increases downtime and operating cost.

G80 chains counteract these risks through rigorous production and testing.


Top Benefits of G80 Lifting Chains

1. Unmatched Strength & Durability

  G80 chains are heat-treated with alloy elements like CR, NI, and MO to meet a minimum break strength of 4x their Working Load Limit (WLL). This assures safe lifting of steel beams, mining equipment, and heavy-duty equipment.


2. Corrosion Resistance

  TOPONE®'s chains are electroplated, electrophoresized, or powder coated to provide resistance against rough environments, i.e., marine and offshore working conditions.


3. Compliance with Global Standards

  Certified to EN818-2, ASTM A973, and NACM2010, G80 chains are OSHA and ISO compliant, reducing the risk of litigation.


4. Versatility Across Industries

  Construction: Hoist steel beams and support cranes.

  Mining: Transport equipment across rough terrain.

  Marine: Mooring lines and anchor mooring.

  Logistics: Hold heavy loads during transit.



Safety Guidelines for Using G80 Chains

To maximize safety and effectiveness:

  Inspect Chains Regularly: Check for wear, deformation, or corrosion.

  Avoid Overloading: Remain at or below WLL (25% of break strength).

  Pair with Certified Accessories: Hold your rigging in place with TOPONE®'s shackles and chains.

  Train Workers: Teach groups about load capacities and emergency procedures.

Please consult our sales staff for other special working environment usage and maintenance methods of G80 Chains.
