G80 Rigging Hardware Manufacturer for Lifting and Marine Brands
Grade 80 alloy hooks, master links and coupling links, with 316 stainless shackles, turnbuckles, swivels, quick links and wire rope clips — forged, heat treated and finished in Taiwan.
Power Honour is a G80 rigging hardware manufacturer in Taiwan, producing Grade 80 alloy sling and self-locking hooks, master links and coupling links alongside stainless steel shackles, turnbuckles, swivels, quick links and wire rope clips. In North America, Grade 80 components are normally specified to ASTM A952 for chain slings used under ASME B30.9 and OSHA 1910.184, and detachable rigging hardware such as shackles, links and swivels falls under ASME B30.26. Tell us the standards your market requires and we manufacture to your drawing and test requirements, with certification testing by the accredited body you select.
Types of rigging hardware we manufacture
G80 sling hooks and self-locking hooks
Eye and clevis sling hooks with latches, grab, foundry and choke hooks, and self-locking safety hooks that close and lock automatically, forged in Grade 80 alloy steel and heat treated.
Master links
Oblong and pear-shaped master links and master link assemblies that gather the legs of a multi-leg chain sling, weldless forged or welded.
Coupling links
Mechanical connecting links in European and American patterns, plus omega, clevis and web-sling connecting links, so a sling fabricator can join chain and fittings without welding.
Stainless shackles
AISI 316 D, long-D, anchor (bow) and twisted shackles and stamped 304 flat shackles for marine, architectural and general rigging.
Turnbuckles
Frame and pipe turnbuckles in 316 stainless with eye, hook and jaw ends, and matching jaw, fork, eye and threaded terminals for wire rope.
Swivels
Eye-and-eye, eye-and-jaw and jaw-and-jaw swivels, swivel eye bolt snaps and swivel snap shackles in 316 stainless, plus Grade 80 chain swivels.
Quick links
Screw-gate quick links and delta links in 304 stainless for semi-permanent connections in chain and rope assemblies.
Wire rope clips
Simplex and duplex clips in 304 stainless and 316 wire rope clips for forming wire rope eyes and terminations. Whether a clip may be used for lifting depends on its rating and the governing standard.
Standards and what buyers check
Lifting hardware is governed by a mix of product specifications and use standards, and the market decides which apply. We manufacture to the grade, dimensions and test requirements you specify under an ISO 9001 system; certification to the standards below is arranged per product with the body you choose.
| Standard | What it covers | What buyers check |
|---|---|---|
| ASTM A952/A952M | Forged Grade 80 and Grade 100 alloy steel lifting components and welded coupling and master links for alloy chain slings. | The performance specification US buyers most often cite for G80 and G100 sling components, written for use with alloy chain slings to ASTM A906. Tell us the grade and sizes your market requires. |
| ASME B30.26 | Detachable rigging hardware: shackles, links, rings, swivels, turnbuckles, eyebolts, hoist rings, wire rope clips, wedge sockets, rigging blocks and load-indicating devices. | Construction, installation, operation, inspection and maintenance requirements for rigging hardware used in load handling. Distributors and end users in the US will expect hardware for lifting to be supplied for use under it. |
| ASME B30.9 / OSHA 29 CFR 1910.184 | Slings — alloy steel chain, wire rope, metal mesh, synthetic rope and webbing — used for load handling. OSHA 1910.184 is the enforceable US general-industry rule; ASME B30.9 is the consensus standard. | That hooks, links and fittings on a chain sling are compatible with the chain grade and rated for the sling, so the sling fabricator can document the assembly. |
| EN 1677 | Components for slings in Europe: Grade 8 forged components, hooks with latch, self-locking hooks and links (parts 1 to 4), with Grade 4 hooks and links in parts 5 and 6. | Requirements, mechanical properties and test procedures part by part. Tell us which parts and grades apply to your range. |
Materials and processes
Grade 80 components depend on forging and heat treatment: the alloy, the quench and the temper decide whether a hook reaches its rated breaking load. Stainless rigging hardware is investment cast, forged or stamped in 304 and 316. Both routes run in house alongside CNC machining of pins, threads and swivels.
Materials
- Alloy steel (Grade 80)
- Carbon steel
- Stainless steel 316
- Stainless steel 304
In-house processes
- Hot forging of alloy and carbon steel hooks and links
- Heat treatment of Grade 80 components
- Investment casting and stamping of stainless hardware
- CNC machining of pins, threads, jaws and swivel bodies
- Coating of alloy steel parts; passivation of stainless
- Sub-assembly of master link sets, latches and swivels
- Proof-load testing to your test plan
- Bulk or retail packaging by size and lot
OEM options: marking, finishes and packaging
Marking
Laser marking of your name, the standard and ratings the standard requires; on forged Grade 80 parts, grade and traceability marks can also be forged in.
Finishes and colours
Coating in your colour on alloy steel, which many G80 ranges use as a brand signature; passivated finishes on 304 and 316 stainless.
Assemblies
Master link assemblies and matched sets of hooks, links and swivels for your sling programme, supplied assembled or as kits.
Packaging and documentation
Bulk cartons by size and lot, or retail cards and bags for marine and hardware stores. Tell us which certificates and test records your customers ask for and we build them into the order.
How we work with your business
We build rigging hardware for three kinds of buyer, each with a different starting point.

- What does G80 mean for rigging hardware?
- Grade 80 (Grade 8 in European standards) is a strength class for alloy steel chain and the forged components used with it. In the US, Grade 80 sling components are commonly specified to ASTM A952; in Europe, to the Grade 8 parts of EN 1677.
- What is the difference between working load limit and minimum breaking load?
- The working load limit is the maximum load a part is rated to carry in service; the minimum breaking load is what it must reach before failing in test. The ratio between them is set by the governing standard for each product type — some Grade 80 links in our catalogue, for example, are listed with a minimum breaking load of four times the working load limit.
- Is stainless steel rigging hardware rated for lifting?
- Some is and much is not. Marine and architectural stainless hardware is often supplied outside the lifting standards. If a stainless shackle, swivel or turnbuckle is meant for load handling, it has to be rated, marked and documented for that use under the standard your market applies, such as ASME B30.26 in the US.
- Should marine rigging hardware be 304 or 316 stainless steel?
- 316 contains molybdenum and resists chloride pitting better than 304, which is why most marine rigging uses it. 304 is suitable for indoor and less aggressive environments and usually costs less.
- Can you forge a hook or link to our own design?
- Yes. Send the drawing or a sample with the grade and working load limit you need. We review it for forging and heat treatment, quote the tooling, and run first-article and proof-load testing before production.
