Stainless Steel Chain and Components for Industrial Lifting

Requirements for lifting components

In LIFTING, chains are basically differentiated into chain slings and hoist chains. The difference lies in the finer tolerances of the stainless steel hoist chains specified by the standard. Among other things, these tolerances have a positive effect on smoothness, reliability and service life when used in combination with pocket wheels.

Since 2008 we have been using cromox®, our specifically developed house brand, in order to meet our own high standards and those of our customers. From the beginning, cromox® has stood for the highest quality in all requirement areas. Only high-quality, carefully selected, stainless materials are used, which are continuously developed into new products such as load hooks or connecting shackles in our research and development department.

Depending on the area of application, different properties are required of the individual components. When using the stainless steel hoist in a cleanroom, for example in the food industry, special attention is paid to chemically clean and burr-free surfaces. This can be achieved by combining various surface treatments such as scouring and electro-polishing. When used in a pickling plant, on the other hand, the focus is on high acid resistance of all components through the processing and separate treatment of special stainless steels.

The grade and wire diameter are the most significant factors for the load-bearing capacity of a chain. Test forces (safety factors of 1; 2.5; 4) can be derived from this, and we use them to reliably test up to 160 t in our in-house laboratory, exceeding standard requirements.

From us you will get standard stainless steel chain slings with between one and four welded strands either as a modular system or as individually combinable chain slings. We can, of course, also provide custom-made products.

High-alloy stainless LIFTING components for cleanliness and safety


The basic requirements for products used in cleanrooms are cleanliness and an absence of particles. Stainless steels are designed for this purpose and can be used in a wide variety of applications.

FAQs

What does the cromox® LIFTING range include?

The cromox® LIFTING range comprises high-quality stainless steel chains and components for industrial lifting applications. The portfolio includes chains, chain slings, master links and sub-assemblies, load hooks, shortening devices, shackles, connecting links, lifting points, hoists, and related accessories.

What is the difference between chain slings and hoist chains?

The main difference lies in the manufacturing tolerances specified by applicable standards. Stainless steel hoist chains feature tighter tolerances, which contribute to smoother operation, increased reliability, and longer service life, particularly when used with pocket wheels in hoisting equipment.

Which applications are cromox® LIFTING components designed for?

cromox® LIFTING components are suitable for a wide range of industrial applications, including cleanrooms, food processing, pharmaceutical production, chemical plants, and other environments where corrosion resistance, hygiene, or durability are critical requirements.

What are the advantages of stainless steel lifting components?

Surface treatments such as scouring and electropolishing create chemically clean, burr-free surfaces. These properties are particularly important in cleanroom and hygienic environments, where minimizing particle generation and contamination is essential.

How is the quality of cromox® LIFTING products tested?

All products are tested in the company's in-house laboratory. Based on chain grade and wire diameter, test forces are calculated and applied to verify performance. Testing capacities of up to 160 tonnes exceed standard industry requirements and ensure maximum safety and reliability.

Are custom lifting solutions available?

Yes. In addition to standard chain slings with one to four welded legs, cromox® offers modular systems, individually configurable lifting assemblies, and fully customized solutions tailored to specific customer requirements.

Why do companies choose cromox® LIFTING products?

Companies choose cromox® for its high-quality stainless steel materials, advanced engineering expertise, exceptional product performance, and ability to provide reliable lifting solutions even under the most demanding operating conditions.
