General Purpose Grade 80 Chain—For Lifting
Strong and durable, use this chain for your lifting applications. It is heat treated and stamped with the grade and manufacturer. When using fittings with chain, you must match the trade size and meet or exceed the chain’s grade.
Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.
For technical drawings and 3-D models, click on a part number.
Gauge measures the maximum allowable wear tolerances on links of Grade 80 or Grade 100 steel chain, as required by OSHA. If the gauge can be inserted over any part of the link, the chain should be taken out of service.
High-Strength Grade 100 Chain—For Lifting
This chain is approximately 25% stronger than Grade 80 chain. It's heat treated and stamped with the grade and manufacturer. When using fittings with chain, you must match the trade size and meet or exceed the chain’s grade.
Zinc-plated steel chain has good corrosion resistance.
Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.

Oblong Links—For Lifting
Also known as master and sling links, a large inner diameter provides room to attach multiple connectors or legs on a sling. Use these links in general lifting applications. All meet strict ASME safety standards for lifting.
Links for Grade 100 chain are approximately 20% stronger than links for Grade 80 chain.
Powder-coated alloy steel links have mild corrosion resistance.
Links with a flat have a spot that's thinner than the rest of the link, so you can slip on connectors that otherwise wouldn't fit. The flat doesn't affect the capacity of the link.
Note: Capacities listed are for vertical lifting only. As the angle changes from vertical, the amount of weight the link can lift is significantly reduced.

Grab Hooks with Clevis—For Lifting
Slide the clevis pin into these hooks to attach chain, no extra fittings needed. The hook has a narrow throat that’s precisely sized to grip a single link of chain. Made of powder-coated steel, they resist some corrosion.
Match your hook to your chain’s grade. The higher the chain grade, the stronger hook. For the three chain grades we offer hooks for (80, 100, 120), each hook is about 20% stronger than the last.
