Questions & Answers
What grade is available for lifting?
The grade corresponds to the quality of the steel. The higher the number, the greater the strength. There are 80, 100 and 120 grades.
Does diameter affect strength?
Diameter affects strength. The larger the diameter, the greater the maximum working tension (MGT).
