Hackett Grade 8 Lifting Chain

A William Hackett Grade 8 lifting chain is a high-strength chain that is specifically designed and manufactured to meet stringent requirements for lifting and rigging applications to EN818-2. The term “Grade 8” typically refers to the chain’s material strength, and it is commonly used in industries where heavy lifting and load-bearing capabilities are essential.

Key features and characteristics of Grade 8 lifting chains may include:

1. Material Strength: Grade 8 chains are made from alloy steel with high tensile strength. This ensures that the chain can withstand heavy loads and provides a safety margin for lifting operations.
2. Heat Treatment: The chain undergoes heat treatment processes to enhance its strength and durability. This often involves quenching and tempering to achieve the desired mechanical properties.
3. Markings: Grade 8 chains are usually marked for identification, including details such as the manufacturer’s mark, chain size, and grade designation. These markings are important for traceability and compliance with industry standards.
4. Durability: Grade 8 chains are designed to resist wear, corrosion, and fatigue, ensuring a long service life even under demanding conditions.
5. Safety: Chains used for lifting applications often come with safety features, such as specific designs for hooks and connectors to prevent accidental disengagement.
6. Compliance: Grade 8 lifting chains are manufactured to meet or exceed industry standards and regulations, ensuring their suitability for use in various lifting and rigging applications.

It’s crucial to follow the manufacturer’s guidelines and industry standards when selecting, using, and maintaining Grade 8 lifting chains to ensure safety and compliance with regulations.
