  Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

  1. Are DH250T Elevator Links truly API 8C certified?
  Yes. Our manufacturing facility holds a valid API Spec 8C license (certificate number available upon request). Every batch is produced and inspected according to API 8C requirements, and we provide full certification documents with each shipment.

  2. Is the 250‑ton rating the working load limit or the breaking load?
  The 250‑ton rating is the Working Load Limit (WLL). Per API 8C, the design safety factor is at least 3:1, meaning the minimum breaking load exceeds 750 tons, ensuring absolute safety within the rated capacity.

  3. Do you have stock? What is the minimum order quantity?
  Yes, DH250T 2-1/4″×60″ is in stock now. No minimum order quantity – we sell single pieces as well as bulk orders. Emergency shipments can be arranged within 24 hours after payment confirmation.

  4. What material and corrosion protection are used?
  The links are forged from high‑strength alloy steel (4145H or equivalent). Standard surface finish is rust preventive primer. For offshore or corrosive environments, we offer optional zinc plating, black oxide, or Teflon coating.

  5. Can you provide custom sizes or higher ratings?
  Absolutely. As an API 8C approved manufacturer, we accept custom orders including different lengths (up to 120″), larger tonnages (350T / 500T), and special materials. Please contact our engineering team with your requirements.

  6. What is the lead time for custom orders?
  Standard in‑stock items ship within 48 hours. Custom orders typically take 4–6 weeks depending on specifications. Third‑party inspection (DNV, BV, ABS) is available upon request.
