What is required to be included on Grade 80 and Grade 100 chains?

For Grade 80 and Grade 100 chains, the requirement to have identification directly on the chain links is crucial for safety and regulatory compliance. This identification ensures that users can easily verify the chain's grade, which dictates its load capacity, material properties, and intended applications. The clear marking of the grade on the links aids in preventing mistakes that could lead to overloading or using the chains inappropriately, which could compromise safety.

Having this identification facilitates proper inspections, maintenance, and adherence to industry standards. It is important for operators to know the specifications of the chains they are using because it directly influences lifting operations and safety protocols. Such identification helps ensure that the correct chain is selected for the job, thereby minimizing the risk of accidents or failures during lifting operations.
