Chain slings & components

Grade 80, 100 and 120 alloy chain slings built to order and certified, plus Gunnebo chain components — master links, hooks, connectors and shorteners — from stock in Mumbai.

Gunnebo is the Swedish lifting-components house whose chain and fittings set much of the pattern for modern Grade 80 and Grade 100 rigging, and Sealinkers supplies the range in India. This category covers Gunnebo alloy lifting chain, hooks — including their well-regarded self-locking safety patterns — masterlinks, connectors and the shortening and coupling components used to build chain sling systems.

The range is built as a system: chain, hooks and connectors within a grade are designed, rated and marked to work together, so a sling assembled entirely from Gunnebo components carries a coherent rating from masterlink to hook. That is the right way to buy chain rigging — mixing grades or brands within an assembly muddies the rating and the paperwork. The grade decision itself is straightforward: Grade 80 is the established standard for general lifting duty, while Grade 100 gives a higher working load limit at the same chain diameter, saving weight and headroom on demanding lifts. Our comparison of Grade 80 versus Grade 100 chain covers the trade-offs.

Gunnebo components are manufactured to the scope of the European component and chain standards — EN 1677 for forged components and EN 818 for short-link lifting chain — with each part marked with its grade and identification. From those components our Darukhana workshop builds complete chain slings, and our in-house test house proof-loads and certifies the finished assembly, giving you the register documentation the Dock Workers regulations and the Factories Act framework require.

If you are standardising a site’s chain rigging, Gunnebo is a sound backbone: the components are consistent, spares are identifiable years later from their markings, and worn parts can be replaced like-for-like without re-engineering the sling.
