What This Product Is For
Ordinary mild steel medium link chain in Q235 or Q195 steel, wire diameter 3.2mm to 25.4mm, supplied self-colour, electric galvanized or hot dip galvanized. The medium pitch sits between the long and short link versions and balances flexibility against compactness, for binding, protection, traction and accessory work. It is not for heavy or overhead lifting, or for personnel hoisting.
Key Benefits
- Medium pitch balances flexibility and tightness, so one chain covers binding and protection duty
- Q235 or Q195 mild steel keeps the piece price low for high-volume non-lifting use
- Self-colour chain is polished for a clean look where the chain is visible
- Held in stock in the common sizes, so repeat orders do not wait on production
Problems It Solves
- Buying graded lifting chain for duty that only needs binding strength
- Long link chain being too loose and short link too stiff for the same job
- Rust on chain used outdoors where only self-colour was available
Application Scenarios

- Barrier and protection chain runs
- Traction and pulling duties
- Chain accessories and hardware assemblies

- Fabricators making barrier and accessory assemblies
- Industrial buyers purchasing general purpose chain
