Who It Is For
Buyers Who Specify Tie Down Chains
- Truck and trailer fleet operators needing consistent chain sizes and finishes across multiple vehicles
- Logistics and freight companies specifying chains for load securement in compliance with transport regulations
- Towing and recovery service providers requiring durable chains for heavy-duty tie-downs and safety chains
- Logging and construction contractors securing equipment and materials on rough terrain transport
- Rigging distributors building a complete lashing product line with chains that match their rigging hardware
Problems Solved
What Tie Down Chains Solve on the Job
- A trailer fleet needs a mix of chain lengths and end fittings, but the supplier only stocks one size and cannot deliver a full set
- The chain arrives with a plain finish when the job is in a saltwater or high-moisture environment, leading to premature corrosion
- No WLL marking on the chain, so the load cannot be verified against the transport regulation requirements
- The chain fails under tension because it was not heat-treated or made from alloy steel, leading to a safety incident
- The end fitting is not compatible with the anchor point on the trailer, requiring a custom adapter or replacement
- A small order for a single chain length is rejected by a factory that only accepts container-sized lots

Answers
Tie Down Chains FAQ
What is the difference between Grade 70 and Grade 43 transport chains?
Grade 70 is heat-treated carbon steel with a higher tensile strength and gold chromate finish, used for heavy-duty transport and towing. Grade 43 is not heat-treated, lower strength, and used for lighter-duty applications.
What does WLL mean on a tie down chain?
Working Load Limit is the maximum safe load the chain is designed to carry under normal conditions. It is calculated by dividing the minimum breaking load by the 4:1 design factor, and it is stamped on the chain.
Is the gold chromate finish suitable for marine use?
Gold chromate finish provides moderate corrosion resistance but is not suitable for prolonged marine or saltwater exposure. Hot dip galvanising or other protective coatings are recommended for such environments.
Do you supply Material Test Certificates with the chains?
Yes. A Material Test Certificate to EN 10204 3.1 is issued with the batch on request. Every batch is proof load tested, dimensionally checked, and breaking strength validated.
Can you make custom chain lengths or end fittings?
Yes. Custom lengths and end fittings such as grab hooks, eyes, or welded loops are available. Provide the required dimensions and connection type when placing the order.
What standards do your tie down chains follow?
Chains are manufactured to NACM2010, ASTM A413, and AS4344 standards. They are designed to meet the working load limit and safety factor requirements of transport and lashing applications.
What is the smallest order you will accept?
We accept small top-up orders as part of a mixed rigging order. The point of buying from Kailipu is to cover multiple rigging items in one purchase, including single chain pieces.
