Grade 80 Insulated Blank Swivel

No.502056

The Grade 80 Insulated Blank Swivel is a specialized lifting component engineered to provide essential electrical insulation during rigorous industrial applications. It is primarily designed to protect overhead cranes and hoists from stray electrical currents when performing welding operations on suspended loads.

  • Electrical Insulation: Individually tested and certified to safely resist high voltages (typically 1000V to 1500V), preventing dangerous electrical feedback to the lifting machinery.
  • Smooth Rotation: Features an integrated swivel design that allows the suspended load to rotate freely and smoothly, effectively reducing torque and twisting stress on the rigging components.
  • Heavy-Duty Construction: Forged from premium Grade 80 alloy steel in compliance with EN 1677 standards, delivering a reliable 4:1 safety factor for demanding overhead lifting.
  • Temperature Resilience: Maintains its full Working Load Limit (WLL) capabilities even in extreme operational environments, safely functioning in temperatures ranging from -40°C up to 200°C.

Product Features

  • Electrical Isolation: Specifically designed to insulate the suspended load from the hoisting equipment. Rated to withstand up to 1000 Volts.
  • Hoist Protection: Critical for welding operations. Prevents damaging welding currents from traveling up the chain, which can destroy the crane's motor, bearings, and internal electronics.
  • Ball Bearing Rotation: Fitted with a precision ball bearing system that allows the swivel to rotate freely even under full load, preventing the load chain from twisting.
  • Robust Construction: Manufactured from high-tensile Grade 80 alloy steel (Quenched and Tempered) with a Safety Factor of 4:1.
Why use an Insulated Swivel?
Scenario Using Standard Swivel Using Insulated Swivel
Welding a suspended load DANGER
Welding current travels up the chain.
SAFE
Circuit is fully isolated.
Impact on Hoist High Risk
Motor burnout & wire rope annealing (weakening).
Protected
No electrical damage to equipment.
Rotation Often stiff under heavy load. Smooth. Ball bearing ensures easy rotation.

Grade 80 Chain Fittings

G-80 Alloy Fittings / Grade 80 Sling Components

Grade 80 Sling Components are the long-established industry standard for chain slings and heavy lifting. Fully compliant with international lifting regulations and designed for durability.

What Does “Grade 80” Mean?

  • High-strength Alloy Steel
  • Min breaking force ≈ 4 × WLL
  • Heat-treated (Quenched & Tempered)
  • Standard: EN 818-4 / EN 818-6
  • Marked “G80” or “8”

Common Grade 80 Components

1. Master Links

Used to connect the sling to a crane or hoist hook.

  • Master Link (ML)

  • Pear-shaped master links

2. Hooks

End fittings for secure load attachment.

  • Clevis Self-Locking Hook
  • Eye Self-Locking Hook
  • Sling Hook with Safety Latch
  • Foundry Hook
  • Grab Hook (Shortening)

3. Connecting Links

Essential hardware to join chains or fittings.

  • Clevis Connecting Link
  • Hammerlock / Coupling Link
  • Repair Link (Special use only)

4. Chain & Adjusters

The core lifting medium and adjustment tools.

  • Grade 80 Alloy Chain (Marked G80)
  • Shortening Clutch
  • Swivel (Bearing/Non-bearing)
  • Lifting Rings

Typical Applications

  • Construction & Civil Works
  • Manufacturing & Workshops
  • Steel Fabrication
  • General Industrial Lifting

Identification Marks

  • Grade: G80 / 8
  • Manufacturer’s ID
  • Size or WLL (Working Load Limit)
  • Traceability Batch Code

Grade 80 vs. Grade 100

Feature Grade 80 Grade 100
Strength Level Standard Industry Standard +25% Higher
Component Size Larger Smaller (for same WLL)
Weight Heavier Lighter
Cost More Cost-Effective Higher

⚠️ Safety & Compatibility Notes

  • DO NOT mix Grade 80 components with other grades (G70, G100) in the same sling leg.
  • Always match Grade 80 chain with Grade 80 fittings.
  • Observe sling angle factors and WLL reductions during lifts.
  • Inspect regularly for: Wear (>10%), Cracks/Distortion, Corrosion, or Heat Damage.
