What This Product Is For
Ordinary mild steel short link chain is a welded low carbon steel chain in 3.2mm to 25.4mm wire diameter, supplied self-colour, electric galvanized or hot dip galvanized. The short pitch makes the chain more stable in the hand and more compact on the drum, which suits binding, traction, marine assistance and accessory work. It is not for heavy or overhead lifting, or for personnel hoisting.
Key Benefits
- Short pitch keeps the chain stable and compact where a loose long link chain would twist
- Low maintenance in service, which suits chain left in place on barriers and fittings
- Three finishes cover dry, damp and outdoor exposure from the same base chain
- Versatile across securing, rigging accessory and general yard work
Problems It Solves
- Loose pitch chain twisting and snagging during handling
- Corrosion on chain kept outdoors without a proper coating
- Overspending on graded chain for non-lifting duty
Application Scenarios
- Binding and securing loads
- Traction and pulling work
- Marine assistance duty on deck
- Rigging accessories and general securing tasks
Who It Is For
- Distributors stocking general purpose chain
- Marine suppliers selling deck and assistance chain
- Workshops and yards buying chain for securing duty
