Tested chains to DIN 763 or DIN 766 are also suitable for lifting loads. However, chains to DIN 763 may only be used for static suspension, i.e. they must not be used as load-bearing, suspension or lifting means within the meaning of DIN 15003 when connected to cranes or hoists – in other words, they are not suitable for dynamic processes of any kind. Chains to DIN 766 are suitable for all lifting processes, including dynamic ones. However, they are a low grade, not high-strength, and have relatively low load capacity for a considerable weight per metre. That is why lightweight, high-strength and highly wear-resistant grade 8 and 10 chains are now widely used for lifting
