Do you know the lifting chain used for pump ?

pump lifting chain is usually stainless steel high tensile chain or alloy steel hot dip galvanized chain

Pump Chains for Lifting Applications


In water supply, irrigation, offshore, and industrial pump systems, lifting chains are used to raise and lower submersible pumps for installation, maintenance, and inspection. These chains must perform reliably under demanding conditions — and at Boyuan Metal, we supply high-strength welded chains designed specifically for pump lifting.



Understanding the Load

A pump lifting chain is not just holding static weight. The working load must account for:
  • Dead weight — the pump itself plus the full length of chain
  • Dynamic shock loads — sudden pressure surges when the pump is lifted through water, particularly in subsea or deep well applications
This combination of static and dynamic forces means the chain requires a higher safety marginthan standard lifting applications. Every component must be rated accordingly.



Material Selection

We offer two material options to suit different environments:
Material
Application
High-strength stainless steel (304 / 316)
Corrosive environments, seawater, potable water systems
High-strength hot-dip galvanized carbon steel
Deep wells, industrial pumps, heavy-duty applications where maximum strength and corrosion protection are required
Both options are manufactured as welded short-link chains with controlled link dimensions and consistent weld quality, ensuring smooth operation over pump guides and sheaves.



Complete with Matching Shackles

To simplify procurement, we supply matching shackles in the same material grade and load rating as the chain. This ensures:
  • Consistent working load limits across the assembly
  • No material mismatch or galvanic corrosion risk
  • Single-source documentation and traceability



What We Deliver

Every order comes with mill test certificates (MTCs) confirming material grade, mechanical properties, and proof load test results. We manufacture to international standards and can supply chains to your exact length, diameter, and grade requirements.
