Lifting Chain

Galvanized lifting chain

Carbon Steel load chain rusts due to having a very high percentage of iron metal element without surface coating. Often, two methods, i.e. surface plating or oven paint, are used to prevent direct contact of water and moisture with the surface of the load chain. Galvanized load chain is plated with a thin coating of Zn metal, which is also called zinc in Farsi. Of course, the process of electroplating steel chains is carried out in two ways: cold galvanizing less thickness and resistance and hot galvanizing more thickness and resistance. The cold galvanized load chain can be seen in silver color and the hot galvanized sample can be seen in matte silver color.
The difference between cold and hot galvanized plating in the surface strengthening of the load chain is in the plating method and temperature.

lifting chain

The steel chain was one of the first human inventions in carrying and lifting loads. Lifting chain is produced by forging method and each bead is individually bent and then completed through welding connection. Steel chain, towing wire and load carrying belt are three of the most widely used tools in slinging, among which the towing wire with more variety and the loading steel chain with less variety in design and standard are used.
Steel chain in loading and in the production of chain slings is produced in three different grades including G80 grade with the most usage, G100, G120 grade.

High carbon G80 lifting chain

High carbon G80 lifting chains are very common lifting tools that are used very often as chain sling with electric and manual hoists, winches and lever hoists. high tensile strength of these G80 lifting chains provide the means to be exposed to high forces however has limited the ductility of these grades of chain. as opposed to G43 chains that have considerably lower tensile strength, G80 can handle much higher loads without deforming and elongation. in order to increase environmental resistance of these chains they usually undergo surface galvanizing process.

galvanized lifting chain

G80 chain actually specifies a grade of steel with a medium percentage of carbon, which is produced with the G80 grade. Dry chains have high tensile strength and good wear resistance and are used in lifting loads. g80 chains are produced in inch and millimeter sizes by hot forging method and are used in the production of chain slings. The general applications of galvanized dry chains can be mentioned on overhead cranes and in lever block connections and chain winches. The dry chain is packed as a barrel and is also used as six meters with a crooked hook.

Galvanized G80 lifting chain

G80 galvanized chain is among the most practical lifting equipment along side of wire ropes. G80 chains are used on all kinds of manual chain blocks and electric hoists and are produced in various size. also in order to produce chain slings G80 chains are mostly used. as opposed to high tensile strength G80 chains have low resistance against corrosion and are therefore either electroplated as galvanized G80 chain or phosphate on the surface.

High carbon lifting chain

High carbon lifting chains are usually available as G80 grade. these lifting chains are usued more often for lifting purpose as chain sling and along with a number of other rigging. Master links and hooks are the most common types of rigging used along with high carbon lifting chains. in order to increase the corrosion resistance of high carbon chain against humidity it is usually galvanized using Zinc baths.

sling lifting chain

Different sizes of steel chains and different number of threads are used in the production of chain slings. Different types of connections such as chain hooks and hooks, sling steel ring and shackle are used in the production of chain slings.

G80 lifting chain

G80 is one of the most common grades of chain in lifting applications. high tensile strength and resistance against impact are two main reasons why G80 chains are very versatile within lifting industries

G80 lifting chain

G80 lifting chain is among the most common types of chain to be used for lifting purposes. G80 chains are used for lifting sling and also on chain blocks, chain hoists and winches.
