PEWAG

PEWAG is an Austrian manufacturer of lifting chains and chain slings, with a history dating back to the 16th century. The company is recognized for its production of Grade-80 and Grade-100 alloy steel chains, as well as corrosion-resistant Grade-63 stainless steel chains. PEWAG's product line includes straight-link chains, single-leg and multi-leg slings, and associated fittings such as hooks and master links. These components are designed for overhead lifting, towing, and securing loads in industrial environments. PEWAG chains are manufactured to meet international standards, including EN 818 and DIN 5688, with working load limits clearly specified for each trade size. The Grade-80 chains, such as the 1/2 in trade size with a 12,000 lb working load limit, are suitable for general lifting applications where high strength-to-weight ratio is required. The Grade-100 chains offer higher load capacities for demanding operations. The corrosion-resistant Grade-63 chains, made from 316 stainless steel, are intended for use in corrosive environments such as marine, chemical processing, and food production facilities. These chains maintain their mechanical properties while resisting rust and chemical attack. PEWAG also provides chain slings with fixed or adjustable configurations, incorporating sling hooks or other termination hardware. 3G Electric supplies over 270 SKUs of PEWAG lifting chains and slings, covering a range of trade sizes from 3/16 in to 1/2 in and beyond. The inventory includes straight-link chains in various lengths and grades, as well as pre-configured slings for immediate use. Each product is accompanied by manufacturer part numbers and specifications, enabling engineers and procurement specialists to select the correct component for their lifting system. PEWAG's focus on material quality and dimensional consistency ensures that these chains integrate with standard lifting hardware and meet the requirements of periodic inspection regimes. For buyers, the availability of multiple grades and materials allows matching chain selection to specific load conditions and environmental factors without over-specifying.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about PEWAG from 3G Electric.

What are the working load limits for PEWAG Grade-80 chains available from 3G Electric?

PEWAG Grade-80 chains supplied by 3G Electric have working load limits that vary by trade size. For example, a 3/8 in trade size chain has a working load limit of 7,100 lb, while a 1/2 in trade size chain has a limit of 12,000 lb. These values are based on the chain's alloy steel construction and straight-link design. Always verify the specific working load limit for the exact chain grade and trade size you require, as these ratings are critical for safe lifting operations.

What materials are used in PEWAG corrosion-resistant Grade-63 chains?

PEWAG Grade-63 corrosion-resistant chains are constructed from 316 stainless steel. This material provides resistance to corrosion in environments exposed to moisture, chemicals, or saltwater. The 316 stainless steel composition includes molybdenum, which enhances its durability against pitting and crevice corrosion. These chains are suitable for applications in marine, pharmaceutical, and food processing industries where standard alloy steel chains would degrade.

How do I select the correct PEWAG chain sling for a single-leg lifting application?

To select a PEWAG single-leg chain sling, determine the required working load limit based on the load weight and lifting angle. Then choose a chain trade size and grade that meets or exceeds that limit. For corrosive environments, select a Grade-63 stainless steel sling. Ensure the sling hook type (e.g., sling hook) matches your attachment points. 3G Electric offers fixed-length slings with manufacturer part numbers for easy identification.

Are PEWAG chains compatible with standard lifting hardware from other manufacturers?

PEWAG chains are manufactured to standard dimensions and grades, such as Grade-80 and Grade-100, which are widely used in the lifting industry. Their link geometry and material properties are designed to be compatible with common hooks, master links, and other fittings that meet the same grade and size specifications. However, always verify that the hardware's working load limit and grade match the chain to maintain system integrity.

What is the difference between PEWAG Grade-80 and Grade-100 chains?

PEWAG Grade-80 chains are made from alloy steel with a minimum tensile strength of 800 MPa, while Grade-100 chains have a minimum tensile strength of 1000 MPa. Grade-100 chains offer higher working load limits for the same trade size, allowing for lighter chains or higher capacity lifts. Grade-80 chains are more common for general lifting, whereas Grade-100 is used where weight reduction or increased capacity is needed. Both grades are available from 3G Electric.
