EN818-2 lifting chain
EN818-2 lifting chain G100
EN818-2 lifting chain G100, 22MnCrNi alloy steel, grade 100 for high-capacity lifting.
Specifications
- Material
- Alloy steel 22MnCrNi
- Grade
- G100 (grade 100)
- Standard
- EN 818-2
- Applications
- Lifting and hoisting within the rated working load limit
EN 818-2 grade 100 lifting chain is an alloy steel chain made from 22MnCrNi. Grade 100 offers a higher strength-to-weight ratio than grade 80, so a smaller and lighter chain can carry the same load.
Typical Applications
Used for lifting and hoisting within the rated working load limit, typically where a lighter chain of higher capacity is wanted. Always match the chain grade and capacity to the load and the lifting equipment.
Material and Surface Finish
Alloy steel 22MnCrNi. Grades 80 and 100 are available; tell us the working load and the lifting assembly required.
Sizes and Ordering
Tell us the size, finish and quantity you need and we will confirm the specification and the packing from our current catalogue.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is EN 818-2 grade 100 lifting chain?
It is a grade-marked lifting chain made from alloy steel 22MnCrNi. The practical point of grade 100 is weight: because it is stronger than grade 80, you can use a smaller, lighter chain for the same working load - which matters when the assembly has to be carried or when payload is tight.
How does grade 100 compare with grade 80?
Both are grade-marked lifting chains, but grade 100 has the higher strength-to-weight ratio. Where weight matters - transport, or a lighter assembly - grade 100 lets you use a smaller diameter for the same working load. Confirm the grade and size against your lifting equipment and the load.
Where is grade 100 chain used?
Usually where a lighter chain of higher capacity is wanted - lifting gear that has to be handled, or installations where a smaller diameter is an advantage. Whatever the application, match the grade and capacity to the load and the equipment, and work within the rated working load limit.
What standard and material does it follow?
It follows EN 818-2 and is made from alloy steel 22MnCrNi. Tell us the working load and the lifting assembly you need and we will confirm the size.
Can you also supply grade 80 lifting chain?
Yes - both grade 80 and grade 100 lifting chain are available. Tell us the load and the application and we will recommend the grade and diameter.
