A Grade 100 chain sling is a high-strength lifting assembly made from premium alloy steel, specifically designed for overhead lifting and rigging applications. "Grade 100" signifies a strength rating that offers a 25% higher Working Load Limit (WLL) than standard Grade 80 chains of the same diameter, allowing for lighter, more manageable rigging gear without sacrificing capacity.

Key Features

Superior Durability: Constructed from heat-treated alloy steel for maximum toughness.
Increased Capacity: Higher WLL allows for lifting heavier loads with lighter chains compared to Grade 80.
Certified Safety: Proof-tested and certified to meet strict international standards (ASME, EN, ISO).
Harsh Environments: Suitable for high temperatures and rugged conditions (use protection for sharp edges).
Versatile Configurations: Available in single, double, triple, and quad-leg assemblies with various hooks.

Typical Applications

Heavy Industry: Machinery movement, steel fabrication, and heavy construction.
Logistics: Rigging in docks, warehouses, and shipping yards.
Critical Lifts: Ideal where flexibility, abrasion resistance, and high strength-to-weight ratio are critical.

Working Load Limit Comparison (Single Leg)

Chain Size (mm)	Grade 80 WLL (Tonnes)	Grade 100 WLL (Tonnes)
8 mm	2.0	2.5
10 mm	3.15	4.0
13 mm	5.3	6.7
16 mm	8.0	10.0

*Values are for straight pull (single leg). Check specific manufacturer charts for multi-leg angles.

⚠️ Standards & Safety Compliance

International Standards: Manufactured per ASTM A973, EN 818-4, and AS 2321 standards.
Identification: Always verify the metal identification tag for WLL, Grade, and Chain Size before use.
Inspection: Regular inspections for wear, elongation, nicks, and gouges are mandatory to ensure safety.
