Grade 100 Chain
Grade 100 Chain – Stronger, Safer, Smarter
Grade 100 chain is engineered for demanding lifting and rigging applications. With a working load limit that’s approximately 25% higher than Grade 80, it offers increased strength without added bulk—making it easier to handle, more efficient, and better suited for high-performance environments.
Its enhanced alloy composition provides greater resistance to wear and fatigue, making Grade 100 chain a preferred choice across the construction, manufacturing, and heavy rigging industries.
Approved for overhead lifting, Grade 100 chain is rigorously tested and marked on every link for fast, easy identification. However, note that while the chain itself is rated for overhead lifting, our tie-down assemblies are not, due to the style of hooks supplied.
