The POWERTEX PSL Grade 8 Short Link Lifting Chain is a calibrated alloy steel lifting chain for building Grade 8 chain slings and chain lashings. Manufactured from quenched and tempered Grade 8 steel, each chain is calibrated, proof tested, and produced to EN 818-2, providing consistent dimensions, reliable performance, and full traceability for demanding industrial lifting applications.
Best used for:
- Building Grade 8 chain slings
- Chain lashings requiring calibrated short link lifting chain
- Industrial lifting applications where EN 818-2 compliant chain is required
Not ideal for:
- Applications requiring higher lifting capacity or lower product weight, where Grade 10 or Grade 12 chain may be a better choice.
