Hardware Chains

The non-hoisting chain used for towing, bundling, securing and transport. Kailipu offers 16 catalogued hardware chain lines in Grade 30 and Grade 43, with DIN 5685A/C patterns and proof coil types, so a buyer can cover all non-lifting chain needs on one order instead of sourcing from multiple suppliers.

Who It Is For

Buyers Who Specify Hardware Chains

  • Rigging and tie-down distributors needing a full range of non-lifting chains under one brand
  • Truck and trailer manufacturers building safety chain kits for fleet compliance
  • Logistics and transport companies securing cargo with Grade 43 chains for heavy-duty towing
  • Marine and offshore contractors requiring DIN 5685A/C chains for deck and mooring applications
  • Agricultural equipment builders using proof coil chains for implement attachment and transport
Problems Solved

What Hardware Chains Solve on the Job

  • A job requiring a Grade 43 chain but receiving a Grade 30 instead, leading to premature failure under load
  • No S-hook included with the chain, forcing a second purchase for a complete tie-down set
  • Chain arriving with a thin electro-galvanised finish when the application is outdoor or marine
  • No custom length available, so the chain must be cut on site, risking inconsistent fit and safety
  • Lack of traceability or material test certificate, making the chain unsuitable for audit or inspection
  • Different chain grades mixed in one order because the supplier only stocks one type per line

Answers

Hardware Chains FAQ

What is Grade 30 Proof Coil Chain?
Grade 30 is a low-strength carbon steel chain, also known as proof coil or common coil. It is malleable and rust resistant but not suitable for hoisting. Used for tying, bundling, towing, and logging.
Which is stronger Grade 43 or Grade 70 chain?
Grade 70 is stronger than Grade 43. Grade 70 is heat-treated carbon steel with approximately 20% higher strength. Grade 43 is used in demanding non-lifting applications, while Grade 70 is typically for hoisting.
What's the difference between Grade 30 and Grade 43 chain?
Grade 43 is stronger and more durable than Grade 30. Grade 30 is for light-duty tying and bundling. Grade 43 is used in towing, construction, and trucking where higher strength is needed.
What is the definition of DIN 5685 chain?
DIN 5685 is a German standard for carbon steel link chains. It includes two types: DIN 5685A (short chain) and DIN 5685C (long chain), used in nautical, construction, agriculture, and metalworking applications.
Do you supply Material Test Certificates with hardware chains?
Yes. A Material Test Certificate to EN 10204 3.1 is issued with the batch on request. Every batch undergoes proof load testing, dimensional checking, and breaking strength validation.
Can you customize chain length and end fittings?
Yes. Chain lengths from 0.5m to 2m are standard, but custom lengths are available. End fittings include S-hooks, hooks, or no hook. Specify the requirement when placing the order.
What surface finishes are available?
Standard finish is electro-galvanised. Hot dip galvanised and zinc-plated options are available for better corrosion resistance. Plastic spraying is not offered for hardware chains.
