Grade 80 Chain

Grade 80 chain is high-strength, heat-treated alloy steel chain that is typically used for overhead lifting. It is the type of chain most-commonly found in chain slings.

Grade 80 chain is tempered at a higher temperature than grade 100 chain, making it more resistant to extreme temperatures. This is an important feature in a lifting chain, especially when used in high-heat environments like steel mills.

Grade, indicated by a number embossed on the chain, represents the strength of the chain. As the grade increases, the strength-to-weight ratio, working load limit (WLL), and material strength also increases.
