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 |
|---|---|
| Proof tested chain | This chain is untested and unstamped, so it is cheaper but not suitable for any load-bearing or safety-critical use |
| Overhead lifting chain | This chain is not rated for overhead lifting and lacks certification; it is only for non-critical restraint and drag tasks |
| Short link chain | Long link has better flexibility and reduced stress at bends but less strength per unit length than short link chains |
| Galvanized chain with certification | This chain can be hot dip galvanized but is not tested or stamped, so it cannot be used where safety certification is required |
Use Guide
How To Use And Inspect Ordinary Mild Steel Chain Long Link
- Do not exceed the working load limits as no WLL is stamped
- Use only for non-overhead lifting and static or low dynamic tasks
- Inspect welds and links before each use for signs of deformation or fatigue
- Avoid sharp bends or kinks that can weaken the weld joint
- Use appropriate tensioners or winches to avoid sudden shock loads
- Store in dry conditions to prevent premature corrosion, especially on self-color finish
- Retire chain if links show visible deformation or if the surface finish is severely damaged
