The Grade 80 chain pairs a heat-treated alloy steel body with flexible surface finishing, giving the chain dependable strength and corrosion resistance across lifting, rigging, and cargo-lashing service. Available in sizes from 4×12 mm to 45×135 mm, with working load limits from 0.5 t up to 63 t and minimum breaking loads up to 2,540 kN, it's built for overhead lifting, chain slings, and transport tie-downs where a load needs to be held securely — not just covered and driven away.

Surface treatment is tailored to your needs: hot-dip zinc, dacromet, metal-coated, black, oiled, or various other finishes are available on request. Safety Assurance: 4-fold safety factor, with every chain tested to 2.5 times the proof load — see the specification table below to confirm which size fits your application.

Why Choose a Grade 80 Chain?

Not every chain job needs an oversized rating or a special coating. Where a load is lifted and secured at one fixed point — a chain sling, a trailer tie-down, a rigging point — a standard grade-80 chain does the job at lower cost and with less to maintain than a specially coated or oversized unit. The Grade 80 chain is built for exactly that: dependable, certified load security.

Which Grade 80 chain fits your job? If your service is outdoors or corrosive, the hot-dip zinc, dacromet, metal-coated, black, or oiled finishes add long-term protection. If your load is heavy, sizes up to 45×135 mm deliver a 63 t working load limit with breaking loads up to 2,540 kN. If you just need straightforward load securing, the standard plain finish is the simpler, more economical choice.Compare: EN818-2 Load chain Compare: 818-7 Lifting Chain
