Welded Link Chains

The load-bearing link that connects lifting equipment to a load or another chain. Kailipu holds 20 welded link chain lines from Grade 30 to Grade 100 in standard and custom sizes, so a buyer can cover a full rigging chain requirement on one order without sourcing from multiple suppliers.

Who It Is For

Buyers Who Specify Welded Link Chains

  • Lifting service companies needing Grade 80 and 100 chains for crane and hoist operations
  • Marine and offshore contractors specifying hot dip galvanised chains for deck and mooring use
  • Steel fabricators and precast plants requiring Grade 43 and 80 chains for lifting structural components
  • Transport and logistics firms sourcing tie-down chains for heavy vehicle securing
  • Industrial maintenance teams replacing worn chains in overhead rigging systems
  • Rigging distributors building a full chain range under one brand with consistent quality
Problems Solved

What Welded Link Chains Solve on the Job

  • A rigging bill of materials missing a chain size because the supplier only stocks one grade or one length
  • Chains arriving with a blackened finish when the job is in a corrosive environment and hot dip galvanised is required
  • No Material Test Certificate in the batch, so the chain cannot be verified for use in a safety-critical lift
  • Grade 70 chain used in lifting despite not being rated for overhead lifting, creating a safety risk
  • Chain length not matching the lift plan because the supplier only offers fixed lengths
  • Custom chain assemblies with non-standard fittings not available from a single source

Answers

Welded Link Chains FAQ

What grades of welded link chains do you supply?
We supply Grade 30 43 70 80 and 100 welded link chains. Grade 80 and 100 are rated for overhead lifting with a 4:1 design factor. Grade 30 and 43 are for non-overhead applications only.
What is the difference between blackened and hot dip galvanised finishes?
Blackened chains have a surface treatment that reduces rust and improves appearance but offers no corrosion protection. Hot dip galvanised chains have a thick zinc layer that resists corrosion in outdoor and marine environments.
Can Grade 70 chains be used for lifting?
Grade 70 chains are not rated for overhead lifting. They are suitable for tie-down and non-lifting applications. For lifting, use Grade 80 or higher with a 4:1 design factor.
What is the standard design factor for your welded chains?
Standard design factor is 4:1 for rigging chains unless otherwise specified. This applies to Grade 80 and 100 chains used in overhead lifting. Grade 30 and 43 chains are not rated for overhead use.
Do you supply Material Test Certificates?
Yes. A Material Test Certificate to EN 10204 3.1 is issued with each batch on request. All batches undergo proof load testing dimensional checking and breaking strength validation.
Can you make custom chain lengths and assemblies?
Yes. Custom chain lengths and assemblies with end fittings can be built to your drawing. Provide the total length, end fittings, and any special requirements. We also offer custom tonnage stamping and private label marking.
What is the smallest order you will accept?
We accept small top-up orders as part of a mixed rigging order. There is no minimum order quantity for welded link chains when included in a full purchase order.
