Industry Application
Rigging and Cargo Control for Drilling Projects
Lifting drill pipes, casing tools and stabilizing drilling rigs requires rigging hardware and lifting components that maintain consistent strength under high stress and harsh conditions. Kailipu supplies Grade 80 hooks, shackles, lifting chains, wire rope and round slings directly from Qingdao, all rated to match and built to withstand the demands of drilling operations.
Industry Pain Points
What Goes Wrong in Drilling Projects
- A hook or shackle with a lower safety factor than the rest of the lifting system, reducing the overall working load limit
- Chain or wire rope that fails due to mismatched grade or incorrect end fitting on a high-stress lifting application
- Lifting slings with inconsistent marking or missing traceability, making audit compliance difficult
- Parts arriving with different surface finishes or coatings, leading to corrosion issues in offshore or desert environments
- Multiple suppliers for different rigging components, causing delays and inconsistent delivery schedules
- No proof load testing or material test certificates available when a project audit requires documentation
What Buyers Need
What Drilling Projects Buyers Actually Specify
- Grade 80 lifting hardware with a 4:1 safety factor as standard, matching the strength of the lifting chain and wire rope
- All components proof load tested and marked with WLL and traceability codes for audit readiness
- Consistent surface finish—powder coated, painted or zinc plated—across all parts to resist corrosion in harsh drilling environments
- Shackles and hooks with matching thread sizes and pin types to ensure secure connection and prevent slippage
- One-stop supply of all rigging components on a single order to avoid delays from chasing multiple suppliers
- Material Test Certificates to EN 10204 3.1 available on request for critical components

Typical Applications
Typical Applications in Drilling Projects
- Lifting drill pipe sections using Grade 80 eye hooks and lifting chains with matching WLL ratings and proof test records
- Connecting casing tools with G80 clevis sling hooks and swivel sets that match the load path and prevent rotation
- Stabilizing a drilling rig with welded-on lifting hooks and wide body shackles rated for high tensile loads and offshore exposure
- Using Kenter links and lugless joining shackles with ABS, LR, BV, DNV, GL, RINA, KR, NK, RS certification for offshore drilling platforms
- Assembling wire rope lifting systems with Grade 80 eye grab hooks and pulley shackles for smooth, reliable hoisting
- Securing heavy rig components during transport using Grade 80 links and shackles with consistent coating and finish

Answers
Drilling Projects Rigging FAQ
What safety factor do your Grade 80 hooks and shackles have?
Grade 80 hooks and shackles supplied for drilling projects have a standard 4:1 safety factor. This is consistent across all Grade 80 hardware unless otherwise specified in the product detail.
Are your lifting chains and wire rope also Grade 80?
Yes. We supply Grade 80 lifting chains and lifting wire rope that are compatible with Grade 80 hooks and shackles. All components are rated to the same working load limit and carry matching safety factors.
Can you provide material test certificates for the shackles and hooks?
Yes. Material Test Certificates to EN 10204 3.1 are available on request for all rated metal components, including Grade 80 hooks, shackles, and links.
Do you supply shackles with certification for offshore drilling platforms?
Yes. Lugless joining shackles and Kenter links are available with class certificates from ABS, LR, BV, DNV, GL, RINA, KR, NK, and RS for offshore and marine drilling applications.
What surface finishes are available for Grade 80 hardware?
Standard finishes include powder coated, painted, and zinc plated. Custom finishes such as electrophoretic black or oil coating are also available on request.
Can you build custom assemblies with Grade 80 components?
Yes. We can build custom assemblies using Grade 80 hooks, shackles, chains, and links to your drawing or specification, including custom marking and packing.
How long does it take to get Grade 80 components from stock?
For common sizes held as semi-finished stock, lead time is about 15 to 20 days. New production takes about 25 days plus 7 days packing before shipment.
