Meet the Lifting Chain G100 in Thiele Blue — a 20mm, 16.0 t WLL round steel chain built for serious lifting and secure lashings. Made in Germany, this chain blends exacting THIELE engineering with field-ready features that professionals rely on every day.

What makes this chain uniquely capable

• 25% stronger than Grade 80 — translates to greater strength-to-weight, enabling more efficient rigging without increasing chain size.
• German engineering, Thiele XL by THIELE TWN1805 — supported by rigorous marking (XL400 / H4 -10), factory traceability, and BG approval for dependable performance.
• PAS 1061 compliance with a 4:1 safety factor — designed to maintain integrity under demanding lifts and lashings.
• Blue painted finish — not just for looks: the coating aids corrosion resistance and quick inspection in tough work environments.
• Maximum working temperature -30 to 380°C — suitable for cold storage, hot environments, and fluctuating temps without compromising reliability.
• Shipped directly from the supplier — ensuring authenticity, traceability, and support aligned with THIELE’s quality standards.
• Drum length options for this diameter — 20mm drum lengths include 60m coils, with additional sizes for other diameters (13mm 150m, 16mm 100m, 22mm 60m, 26mm 30m) to fit your inventory and working needs.
• Leg-length rule and pricing — all chain is cut to leg length minus one link and sold per full metre. If you need a 2.5 m leg, order 3.0 m and you’ll be charged the 3.0 m price.
• Made in Germany with ISO-certified quality management — THIELE’s quality system (ISO 9001) and environmental management (ISO 14001) underpin durable, sustainable performance; ISO 50001 energy management is on the roadmap.

Ideal uses and who should consider it

• Heavy lifting and rigging in construction, manufacturing, and logistics environments where safety and reliability are non-negotiable.
• Shipyards, metal fabrication facilities, and industrial settings that demand a high-strength chain with traceable manufacturing provenance.
• Situations requiring a robust load link where a 20mm diameter and 16.0 t WLL balance is optimal for equipment, hooks, and slings used with standard lifting gear.
