Problems Solved
What Towing and Recovery Chains Solve on the Job
- A recovery rigging kit missing the right end fitting, forcing a last-minute order from a specialist supplier with long lead times
- Chain failing under load because the grade was not suitable for the application, such as using Grade 43 on a high-tension recovery
- Chain length not matching the vehicle or recovery setup, requiring on-site cutting or custom fabrication
- Zinc plating worn or insufficient in high-corrosion environments, leading to premature chain failure
- No WLL or breaking strength marked on the chain, making it impossible to verify compliance with safety checks
- End fittings not matching the vehicle’s attachment points, such as a J Hook not fitting a trailer’s eye bolt

Answers
Towing and Recovery Chains FAQ
What is the difference between Grade 70 and Grade 43 towing chains?
Grade 70 is an alloy steel chain with higher tensile strength, suitable for heavy-duty towing and recovery. Grade 43 is a carbon steel chain with lower strength, used for lighter-duty trailer safety and cargo securement.
What does WLL mean on a towing chain?
Working Load Limit is the maximum load the chain is designed to carry safely. It is derived from the minimum breaking load divided by the design factor, which is 4:1 unless otherwise specified.
How do I choose the right chain diameter?
Select the diameter based on the expected load. 5/16" is suitable for light recovery, 3/8" for heavy-duty towing. Always verify the WLL for the specific diameter and end fitting.
Can I get a chain with a custom length?
Yes. Chain lengths can be customized to your exact requirements. Provide the total length needed, including the end fittings, and we will build it to your specification.
What surface finishes are available?
Standard finish is yellow zinc plated. Custom finishes include powder coating, electrophoretic black, and other options. Specify the finish when placing your order.
Do you supply certificates with the chains?
Yes. A Material Test Certificate to EN 10204 3.1 is issued with the batch on request. All chains undergo proof load testing and dimensional checking before shipment.
Can you stamp custom tonnage or branding?
Yes. Custom tonnage stamping, private label marking, and branded packaging are available. Send the marking layout and pack configuration you need.
