What is a Grade 100 chain?
Grade 100 chain is 25% stronger than Grade 80 Chain, allowing for easier handling and increased efficiency. Due to its higher alloy content, grade 100 chain is also more rugged and resistant to fatigue. Grade 100 chain is quickly becoming the more popular choice for construction, manufacturing and rigging companies.
Is Grade 100 chain hard?
In comparison to Grade 80, Grade 100 chain has a significantly higher strength-to-weight ratio—about 25% higher, depending on the manufacturer. Grade 100 chain also has a slightly harder surface material, which gives it some advantage when it comes to abrasion resistance.
What is the best grade chain?
Next to Grade 120, Grade 100 chain is the strongest type of chain offered by most industrial hardware suppliers. It is 25 percent stronger than Grade 80, making it the best choice for extremely heavy overhead lifting use and other extreme applications.
Can you use Grade 100 chain for transport?
While grade 100 chain is generally approved for overhead lifting, transport assemblies are not rated for overhead lifting due to the hook style. Chain and hooks are embossed with grade 100 markings for easy identification. All chain assemblies arrive fully assembled and ready for use.
What is the strongest grade chain?
What does G7 on a chain mean?
G70 – Transport This chain is commonly called G7 or transport chain. It has a very high strength-to-weight ratio and it has about 25% more strength than high test chains. It works with very few windlasses however. It is hallmarked approximately every foot with the manufacturer’s symbol and grade marking: 7, 70, 700.
What is the best grade of chain?
Grade 100. Next to Grade 120, Grade 100 chain is the strongest type of chain offered by most industrial hardware suppliers. It is 25 percent stronger than Grade 80, making it the best choice for extremely heavy overhead lifting use and other extreme applications.
What chain Cannot be cut?
Hexagonal links (or square or trapezoidal) make it impossible for bolt cutters to get a grip. Chain sold by the foot at the local hardware store performs lifting and towing well, but not theft resistance.
What type of chain is hardest to cut?
Pewag chain
By being the toughest chain, we mean the Pewag chain is the hardest chain to cut with bolt cutters. The biggest reason is the hardened steel chain is squared, so it will not allow bolt cutters to cut through it.
