Grade 120 Binder Chain (Europe)

CHAIN TERMS
Grade of Chain: NACM (National Association of Chain Manufacturers & ASTM (American Society for Test Materials) classify chains in various grades. The higher the grade, the higher the working load limit for the same size of chain.
Working Load Limit (WLL): (rated capacity) Is the maximum working load that should be applied In direct tension to an undamaged straight length of chain.
Proof Test: (manufacturing test force) Is a term designating the minimum tensile force which has been applied to a chain under a constantly increasing force In direct tension during the manufacturing process.
These loads are manufacturing integrity tests and shall not be used as criteria for service or design purpose.
Minimum Breaking Force: The minimum force at which the chain during manufacture has been found by testing to break when a constantly increasing force is applied in direct tension.
Breaking force values are not guarantees that all chain segments will endure these loads. This test is a manufacturers attribute acceptance test and SHALL NOT be used as criteria for service and design purpose.
Overhead Lifting: The process of lifting that would elevate a freely suspended load to such a position that dropping a load would present a possibility of bodily injury or Property damage

Grade 120 chain was specifically designed to for extreme overhead lifting applications. Grade 120 Chain is an ultra-premium quality high strength alloy steel.
Grade We use this chain to produce our top of the line grade 120 binder chains.
Grade 120 Binder Chains have a 50 percent increase in working load limit as compared to a similar size chain in Grade 80. This allows you to reduce the size or number of chains required.
Grade 120 binder chains chains are also referred to as tow/binder chains, Grade 120, Grade 120 Winner Pro. The binder chains are supplied with an eye grab hook.
This eye grab hook is connected to the chain via a connecting link.Grade 120 binder chains are NOT approved for overhead lifting UNLESS they are fitted with a proper tag and certification.

All of our Pewag Grade 120 Chain is Made in the Europe. To help identify the grade and manufacturer all of our Grade 120 Chain is embossed with120 and D16.
The D16 is the chain manufacturer Pewag.

The 120 identifies this as a Grade 120 Chain. Grade120 chain is typically finished with a Blue Powder Coat.. This is a tough durable finish.
Grade 120 chain is a square link design. Intelligent profile - because of the intelligent use of material,
the major characteristics of the chain (i.e. fatigue resistance and bending resistance) were improved in a remarkable way, when you compare the same cross section of the profile chain versus the round steel chain.
In order to reach the best mechanical performance, the material use was optimized on effective areas (blue area) and reduced on less relevant areas (red area).

Optimized bending resistance: The section modulus which is important for preventing undesirable bending deformation is up to 16% higher with the profile chain compared to round steel chain with the same cross section.
Therefore the max stress in the chain is reduced (no red areas).
50% higher load capacity compared To Grade 80, 20% higher load capacity compared to G100.
Pewag Grade 120 chain is 100% European made produced from the highest quality alloy steel available. The chain is tested throughout the manufacturing process.
All of our Grade 120 chain is Proof Tested to twice the working load limit. The minimum break strength is four times the working load limit.
Our Pewag  Grade 120 Alloy Chain meets or exceeds all existing OSHA, Government and ASTM specification requirements.
All of our Grade 120 Chain is 100 percent Proof Tested. Certs available free of charge. Please request at the time of order placement.
