How to Tell Genuine G80 Lifting Chain from Fakes?

Spotting real G80 lifting chain comes down to three things: check the link stamp, inspect the weld and dimensional workmanship, and test breaking force and elongation (≥20%). Source only from qualified manufacturers — inquiries are welcome for pricing, samples and test reports, and bulk orders enjoy factory prices.

Identification steps

1. Check the stamp. 

Genuine G80 chain carries the grade mark "G80" at roughly one-metre intervals — crisp, correctly deep and fully traceable. Counterfeit products usually have no marking at all, or characters that are shallow and crooked and can be ground off easily.

2. Inspect the workmanship. 

Genuine chain is resistance butt-welded, with the weld centred on the straight side of the link and ground smooth, and the links are calibrated for consistent dimensions. Counterfeits commonly show weld burrs, misalignment and uneven pitch.

Genuine G80 lifting chain has a minimum elongation at break of 20%, so it stretches visibly before failure, giving crews a window to escape and respond. Counterfeit chain snaps in an instant, and the falling load often takes equipment and lives with it. Then comes the harder problem of liability: once an accident happens, chain with no stamp, no batch number and no test report cannot be traced to its source, leaving the buyer struggling to claim against the supplier and exposed in insurance settlements and safety investigations. Whatever is saved on the purchase is usually repaid many times over in a single accident. For companies lifting every day, chain is a consumable safety item — ordering certified product batch by batch, on schedule, is the most economical choice.

How ShengYu certifies every batch

Hebei ShengYu's G80 lifting chain is quenched by medium-frequency induction and tempered above 400°C, proof load tested link by link at 2.5 times the working load limit, and sampled by batch for breaking force, elongation and hardness.
