How It Compares With The Alternatives
An honest read on where this pattern wins and where another one would serve you better.
| Alternative | Honest Trade Off |
|---|---|
| Short link chain | Long link chain has better flexibility and reduced stress at bends, but short link chain offers higher strength per unit length and better wear resistance in high-friction applications |
| Grade 80 alloy chain | This chain is made from low carbon steel with lower strength but sufficient for non-overhead tasks; Grade 80 alloy chain is stronger and used in overhead lifting and high-duty applications |
| EN 818-2 Grade 80 chain | This chain is not rated for overhead lifting and lacks the design factor and certification required for lifting; EN 818-2 Grade 80 chain is intended for overhead lifting with a 4:1 design factor |
| Rope or webbing sling | Chain offers higher abrasion resistance and durability in harsh environments, but is heavier and less flexible than synthetic slings |
Use Guide
How To Use And Inspect Australian Standard Long Link Chain
- Never exceed the stamped working load limit on the chain
- Use only in non-overhead applications as specified in the product notes
- Inspect the chain before each use for signs of wear, deformation, or broken welds
- Ensure the surface finish is intact; avoid using damaged galvanized or plated chain in corrosive environments
- Do not use in applications involving dynamic shock loading or sudden impacts
- Replace the chain if the link dimensions exceed tolerance or the marking is no longer legible
- Store in a dry, covered area to preserve the surface finish and prevent rust

Answers
Australian Standard Long Link Chain FAQ
Is this chain suitable for overhead lifting?
No. This chain is not rated for overhead lifting and is intended only for securing, anchoring, and tensioning in non-lifting applications. It does not meet the requirements for lifting hardware.
What is the proof load test requirement?
Each batch is proof load tested. This ensures the chain can withstand temporary overloads without failure.
What finishes are available?
Available in self-color, zinc plated, or hot dip galvanized finishes. Choose based on environmental exposure and corrosion resistance needs.
Can you supply a Material Test Certificate?
Yes. A Material Test Certificate to EN 10204 3.1 is supplied with every order upon request. It confirms the material composition and test results.
What sizes are available?
Chain sizes range from 3 mm to 10 mm in diameter, with working load limits from 0.05 to 0.83 tonnes. Full dimensions are listed in the specification table.
Can the chain be cut to length?
Yes. Custom lengths can be cut to your specification upon request. The chain will be re-stamped with the working load limit after cutting.
How is it packed for export?
Packed in drums on steel pallets. We can adjust the drum size and pallet configuration to suit your warehouse or shipping requirements.
