Questions we get asked
About this range
- 01Can I mix Grade 80 chain with Grade 100 fittings?
- A chain sling is rated by its weakest component, so a mixed assembly takes the lower grade's rating. Match the fittings to the chain grade and size.
- 02Do the parts come with test certificates?
- Yes. Each consignment ships with the manufacturer's test certificate. If your site needs more — third-party certification or witnessed proof testing — say so on the RFQ and we will confirm what we can arrange.

Delivery
Grade 80 Chain Fittings across the Gulf
Ex-stock from Dubai, delivered within 3 working days in the UAE.
Rigging hardware is bought on its working load limit and its certificate, and both travel with the part: every shackle, hook, chain and sling ships from Dubai with the manufacturer's test certificate, so the receiving inspection checks a document against a stamp rather than a claim. Hardware and fittings go by air or courier in cartons; wire rope, chain, hoists and anchors are heavy enough that sea freight is usually the sensible answer.

Master links explained: single links, assemblies with sub-links, and sizing to the hook
The master link is the top of a multi-leg sling: it gathers the legs and sits in the crane hook. Two legs can share a single master link; three or four need an assembly with sub-links. And the link has to fit the hook as well as the chain. Here is how to choose one.

Lifting hook types: eye, clevis and swivel hooks, sling vs grab hooks, and latches
Hooks are chosen on two things: how they attach (eye, clevis, shank or swivel) and what they do (a sling or slip hook holds a load in its bowl; a grab hook grips a chain link). Use a grab hook to shorten a chain and the sling loses 20% unless the hook is a cradle type. Here is how the types differ, and when a hook comes out of service.

Chain grades explained: Grade 30, 43, 70, 80 and 100, and which can lift overhead
Chain grade is a statement about the steel, and it decides two things: how much a given size carries, and whether it may be used overhead at all. Grades 30, 43 and 70 are for tie-down and towing. Only alloy Grade 80 and Grade 100 are lifting chain. Here is the whole ladder, with figures from our own tables.
