H-Lift Grade 100 Lifting Chain is a premium, high-strength alloy steel chain designed specifically for heavy-duty overhead lifting, offering approximately 25% higher lifting capacity than standard Grade 80 chains.
Superior Strength: Manufactured from hardened and tempered alloy steels, providing a minimum tensile strength of 1000 N/mm² for maximum lifting capability.
Enhanced Durability: Features high resistance to impact, wear, and abrasion, extending the operational life of the chain in demanding industrial environments.
Lighter Weight Solutions: Because of its higher strength capacity, users can safely opt for a smaller, lighter chain size compared to Grade 80, improving ergonomic handling.
Advanced Coatings: Frequently available with blue E-coating (electrophoretic coating) or black E-coating, which significantly enhances protection against rust and corrosion while improving aesthetics.
Superior Strength Manufactured from premium alloy steel, Grade 100 chain offers a 25% higher Working Load Limit (WLL) compared to standard Grade 80 chain of the same size.
Lightweight Solution Higher strength allows for smaller diameter chain to lift the same load. This reduces total sling weight, making it easier for operators to handle and reducing fatigue.
Standard Compliance Meets or exceeds the requirements of ASTM A973, PAS 1061, and EN 818-2 (dimensional).
Tough & Durable High hardness provides better resistance to wear and abrasion, extending service life in harsh environments like mining and construction.
Distinct Identification Typically painted in distinct colors (e.g., Blue or Grey) and stamped with "G100" or "10" for easy identification and to prevent mixing with lower grades.
Proof Tested Proof loaded to 2.5 times the WLL with a design safety factor of 4:1.

Grade 100 Sling Components
Grade 100 Sling Components are high-strength alloy steel lifting accessories designed for heavy-duty lifting applications. Compared with Grade 80, Grade 100 offers higher working load limits (WLL) at the same size, or the same WLL with a smaller, lighter component.
What Does "Grade 100" Mean?
High-Strength Alloy: Heat-treated, quenched, and tempered steel.
Increased Capacity: Typically 25% higher WLL than Grade 80.
Safety Factor: Minimum breaking force ≈ 4 × WLL.
Standards: EN 818-4 / EN 818-6, ASTM equivalents.

⚠️ Safety & Compatibility Warning
❌ NEVER mix Grade 100 with Grade 80 components in the same sling assembly.
✅ Use only Grade 100 chain + Grade 100 fittings together.
Regularly inspect for wear (>10%), cracks, deformation, heat damage, or corrosion.
Blue E-Coating on Grade 100 Chain
Advanced Corrosion Protection & Identification
Blue E-coating (electrophoretic coating) is a specialized corrosion-resistant finish applied to the surface of Grade 100 lifting chains. It provides enhanced protection against rust, improves aesthetics, and offers a distinct visual indicator for grade identification in busy industrial environments.
🛡️ Corrosion Resistance
Creates a bonded protective layer that makes the chain highly resistant to rust and moisture. Essential for outdoor construction, mining, and offshore operations.
👁️ Visual Identification
Color Coding: The distinct blue color serves as an immediate visual indicator, making it easy to distinguish Grade 100 (Blue) from Grade 80 (typically Black) to prevent mismatching.
⛓️ Durability
The E-coating process applies a uniform, consistent layer even between links, ensuring thorough protection that extends the chain's service life.
✨ Aesthetics
Provides a clean, professional finish. While functional, it is also beneficial for applications where the visual appearance of rigging gear matters.
Grade 100 Blue E-coating Finish
Usage & Maintenance
Chains with blue E-coating are commonly used in heavy-duty lifting industries like construction and mining where strength and environmental resistance are critical.
⚠️ Maintenance Reminder: While E-coating provides excellent protection, it is not a substitute for regular inspection. Always check for signs of wear, nicks, gouges, or coating damage that could expose the base metal to corrosion. Follow manufacturer guidelines to ensure safety.
