Grade 80 Chain
Grade 80 chain is a heat-treated alloy steel designed for high strength for overhead lifting and tie down applications. It is the most economical of the three chain grade types that are suitable for overhead lifting (grade 80, grade 100, grade 120). Please note that while grade 80 chain is approved for overhead lifting applications, our tie down chain assemblies are not designed for overhead lifting due to the supplied hook.
Our grade 80 bulk chain is European made by KWB, a Pewag company. It's tested throughout the manufacturing process and meets and exceeds the specifications of NACM, ASTM, and OSHA.
Our selection includes full drums of grade 80 chain, half drums of chain, and cut grade 80 chain by the foot, as well as tie down assemblies. There are no minimum lengths or amounts required for ordering. Grade 80 fittings - such as connecting links and hooks - are also available by calling our sales team . We also offer a full line of Grade 80 Lifting Slings.
If you don't see what you need, let us know. We have access to a wide range of vendors and industrial chain types. Custom orders are always an option as well.
