Tiger SS20 Corrosion-Resistant Chain Block (Configurable Version) – 0.5t-10t WLL

Description

Heavy-Duty Corrosion Resistant Chain Block for Offshore & Marine Lifting

The Tiger SS20 Configurable Corrosion Resistant Chain Block from Tiger Lifting is engineered for demanding lifting operations in offshore, marine, coastal, and heavy industrial environments where maximum durability, safety, and operational flexibility are essential.

Manufactured in Tiger’s ISO-certified production facility using premium-grade steel and precision-engineered components, the SS20 configurable chain hoist delivers reliable manual lifting performance in harsh operating conditions. Designed specifically for use in saltwater, splash-zone, and corrosive environments, this advanced manual chain block provides exceptional resistance to rust, moisture, salt spray, and UV exposure.

With configurable chain-end fittings and industry-leading corrosion protection, the SS20 is an ideal lifting solution for applications requiring adaptable rigging configurations and long-term reliability.

Advanced C5M Corrosion Protection System

The SS20 chain block incorporates Tiger’s advanced C5M corrosion protection system, developed to meet the requirements of ISO 12944 for severe marine environments.

Key corrosion-resistant features include:

• Multi-layer C5M-grade coating system combining electroplating and powder coating
• Corrosion-protected internal moving components
• Marine-grade stainless steel and coated alloy fasteners
• Phosphor-bronze bearings for enhanced wear and corrosion resistance
• Bonded marine friction discs with grooved surfaces to eliminate aquaplaning

This specialist coating and protection system significantly extends equipment life in aggressive offshore and marine conditions.

Configurable Chain-End Fittings for Flexible Lifting Operations

The configurable SS20 version allows users to tailor the hoist to their exact lifting and rigging requirements. Multiple chain-end connection options are available to support a wide range of lifting applications.

Available end fitting options include:

• Self-locking safety hook for secure general lifting operations
• Clevis shackle for rigging and multi-point lifting assemblies
• Reevable master (egg) link for sling and spreader beam integration
• Sling hook for rapid connection and disconnection during repetitive lifting tasks

All fittings are drop-forged, heat-treated, fully tested, and certified to a 4:1 factor of safety, ensuring dependable performance in critical lifting operations.

Patented Quad Cam Brake System for Enhanced Safety

The Tiger SS20 range features the patented Quad Cam Pawl Brake System, providing a significant safety advantage over traditional twin-pawl chain blocks.

The system ensures that at least one pawl remains permanently engaged during operation. Even in the unlikely event of a pawl spring failure, the brake mechanism continues functioning safely and effectively.

This advanced brake design also enables operation at angles up to 60° from vertical without deration, making the hoist ideal for:

• Fleeting applications
• Cross-hauling operations
• Drifting and angled lifts
• Offshore and shipboard lifting tasks

Optional Overload Protection for Critical Applications

For enhanced operational safety, the SS20 configurable chain block can be supplied with an optional slipping clutch overload limiter.

Verified by DNV GL in accordance with NORSOK R-002, this overload protection system prevents dangerous over-lifting while still allowing controlled lowering of the load.

This helps protect:

• Operators
• Lifting equipment
• Suspended loads
• Structural support systems

from damage caused by overload conditions.

Fully Tested & Certified for Industrial Use

Every Tiger SS20 chain block undergoes extensive testing and quality control procedures before dispatch.

Testing includes:

• Proof load testing to 1.5 × rated capacity
• Light load testing at 2% of WLL
• Ultimate strength testing to 4 × WLL or greater
• Chain anchorage testing to 2.5 × WLL
• Over 1500 cyclic load test cycles

Each unit is supplied complete with:

• Certificate of Conformity
• Test Certificate
• Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC certification

ensuring full compliance with international lifting safety standards.

Ideal for Offshore, Marine & Harsh Environment Applications

The Tiger SS20 configurable chain block is widely used in:

• Offshore oil & gas platforms
• Marine and shipyard operations
• Ports and dockside lifting
• Coastal infrastructure projects
• Heavy industrial maintenance
• Renewable energy installations
• Corrosive industrial environments

Its combination of marine-grade corrosion resistance, configurable lifting connections, and advanced safety systems makes it one of the most versatile manual chain hoists available for harsh environment lifting operations.
