Alloy Steel Chain: G80 Strength for Heavy-Duty Lifting

Industries need lifting gear with unfettered strength combined with unmatched reliability. The G80 lifting chain, produced from heat-treated alloy steel chain, meets this demand. Designed in accordance with Grade 80 standards, it meets heavy-duty loads in construction, marine, and mining with unmatched durability.

Whether chaining and shackling or lifting equipment with chain lifting gear, G80 chains cover it all. This article's guide to their superior advantages is contrasted with the next best, chain rope slings, and the reason why TOPONECHAIN leads in chain and rigging technology.

Why Choose G80 Alloy Steel Chain for Heavy Lifts?

Unmatched Alloy Steel Chain Strength

G80 chains make use of CR, NI, and MO-rich alloy steel which is heat-treated to achieve a 4:1 factor of safety. This offers a 25% Working Load Limit (WLL) of their lowest break strength of 32,000 lbs. G80 has resistance to shock loading, corrosion, and wear compared to ordinary boat lift chains.

Corrosion Resistance for Marine & Outdoor Use

TOPONECHAIN G80 chains undergo electroplating or powder coating, ideal for offshore rigging and boat lift chains. The chains are resistant to saltwater, humidity, and extreme temperatures (-40°C to 200°C).

Top Applications of G80 Lifting Chains

1. Marine & Boat Lift Operations

G80 chains suspend anchors, mooring lines, and boat lifts. The corrosion-proof coatings on these chains are more durable than normal chain rope slings in humid conditions.

2. Construction & Mining Rigging

Pair G80 chains with chain and shackles to lift steel beams, mining equipment, and machinery. Their durable WLL keeps replacement costs to a minimum.

3. Chain Lifting Industrial Devices

Integrate G80 chains into cranes, hoists, and chain lifting devices for safe overhead lifting. TOPONECHAIN offers custom lengths and coatings.

G80 vs. Alternatives: Main Differences

While chain rope slings can handle light loads, G80 chains are ideal for heavy-duty use. Their alloy steel composition is stronger than standard boat lift chains, and their 4:1 safety factor exceeds OSHA and ASME B30.9 standards.

Safety Procedures for G80 Chain Rigging

Inspect Periodically: For rust, deformation, or wear.

  Don't Overload It: Within the WLL (25% of break strength).

  Use Authorized Accessories: Use with TOPONE's chain and rigging equipment.

  Train Teams: Inform workers of load capacity.

For enclosed areas, utilize G80 chains with our safety rescue kits.
