Heavy Duty Chain for Lifting – High-Strength Alloy Chains for Industrial Rigging

A heavy duty chain for lifting is engineered to withstand extreme loads, harsh environments, and continuous industrial use. It is typically manufactured from quenched-and-tempered alloy steel (G80, G100, or G120) and designed for safe handling of heavy machinery, steel structures, construction materials, and multi-point rigging loads.

At TOPONE CHAIN, we produce globally certified heavy-duty lifting chains used in cranes, hoists, rigging slings, and high-capacity lifting systems across construction, mining, shipbuilding, offshore platforms, and industrial fabrication.

What Is a Heavy Duty Chain for Lifting?

A heavy duty lifting chain is a short-link, high-strength chain specifically engineered for overhead lifting. It differs from transport chains or general industrial chains in several key ways:

Made from special alloy steel (20Mn2, 23MnNiMoCr5-4, SCM440)

Treated through quenching and tempering for tensile performance

Complies with strict safety standards such as EN 818-2, ASME B30.9, NACM

Designed for fatigue resistance, shock resistance, and high WLL

Every batch undergoes proof-load testing and traceability

These characteristics make it suitable for lifting, hoisting, rigging, and load handling operations where safety cannot be compromised.

Safety & Inspection Guidelines

To maintain the integrity of your heavy duty lifting chain:

Inspect before each use

Check for cracks, deformation, or excessive wear

Replace if elongation exceeds 3%

Lubricate and store in dry conditions

Ensure end fittings match the chain grade

Proper care ensures maximum performance and long-term reliability.

FAQ About Heavy Duty Chains for Lifting

Q1: Can I use transport chains for overhead lifting?
No. Only certified alloy lifting chains (EN 818) can be used for overhead lifting.

Q2: What grade should I choose—G80 or G100?
G100 offers 25% higher strength with reduced weight, ideal for heavy industrial lifting.

Q3: Do you offer OEM chain slings with this chain?
Yes. We provide custom chain slings (1–4 leg adjustable) built with our heavy duty lifting chains.

Q4: Do chains come with certificates?
Every shipment includes test reports, batch traceability, and compliance certificates.
