pewag Grade 10 lifting chains, also known as pewag Winner Pro G10, are designed for general lifting applications where high strength and reduced weight are important. They are ideal for construction, manufacturing, transportation, and logistics, offering safe and efficient lifting with improved working load limits compared to lower grades.

pewag Grade 12 lifting chains offer a significantly higher load capacity compared to Grade 8 chains of the same nominal size. This allows for heavier loads with smaller chain dimensions, improving handling while maintaining full safety compliance under EN standards.

Grade 12 chains offer a higher working load limit (WLL) compared to Grade 10, allowing for the same load with smaller and lighter components. Grade 12 also typically offers higher strength, better wear resistance and improved handling, while still meeting stringent safety standards.

Not directly. Each grade has specific load ratings and applications. Always refer to the manufacturer’s load charts and ensure components across the system match the chain grade.

pewag’s lifting systems include lifting chains, shortening hooks, safety hooks, master links, connecting links, and load binders, offering complete solutions for safe and efficient lifting operations.

Yes. pewag lifting chains are fully certified and tested according to relevant international standards such as EN 818, ensuring safety, traceability, and compliance.

pewag lifting solutions are widely used in construction, offshore, heavy industry, manufacturing, logistics, and many specialised lifting operations requiring high strength and durability.

Consider factors such as load weight, lifting configuration, environmental conditions (e.g. temperature, corrosion), and applicable safety standards. pewag offers expert support and technical consultation to help customers choose the right system.

Both grades can be used across a wide temperature range, but exact limits depend on the product and coating. Always refer to pewag’s technical documentation for temperature derating information.

Yes. All lifting chains and components should be inspected regularly as part of a documented maintenance and inspection schedule to ensure safe operation

Yes. pewag offers a full range of compatible components, including master links, hooks, and connectors, for both Grade 10 and Grade 12 systems.

The pewag chain cutter is designed to cut pewag lifting chains across a range of sizes and grades. Exact capacities depend on the model of cutter being used. Refer to the cutter’s technical datasheet for specific dimensions.

Yes. pewag chain cutters are engineered to handle the hardness and tensile strength of both Grade 10 and Grade 12 chains, provided the correct cutter model is selected for the chain size.

Yes. pewag chain cutters are designed for quick, precise, and safe cutting on-site, minimising downtime and allowing immediate chain preparation or repair.

While the cutter is designed for ease of use, operators should be trained in safe cutting procedures and wear appropriate PPE when operating the machine.

pewag chain cutters deliver clean, precise cuts with minimal burrs, ensuring the cut chain links can still meet performance requirements after proper inspection and preparation

Routine maintenance includes checking cutting blades for wear, lubricating moving parts, and ensuring the cutter operates smoothly. Detailed maintenance instructions are provided in the user manual.
