RUD VIP SLING CHAINS IN GRADE 100

 

Lifting Means VIP Overview

The VIP range of lifting means (Grade 100 chain) has been established since 1994, and is used in some of the toughest working environments. Although having the same chain diameter as grade 8 chain, the VIP range offers up to 30% increase in the WLL. The chain dimensions range from 4-28 mm (3/16" to 1 - 1/8"), with a WLL from 0.6t to 31.5t (1386 - 69300 lbs) in single leg, and up to 56 t (123458 lbs.) in a 4 leg configuration with a balancer.
