FAQs

What does 'Long Link' mean?

'Long Link' refers to the elongated shape of the individual chain links, which can make handling and connecting easier compared to standard short-link chains.

Is this chain suitable for lifting loads?

This chain is rated for Grade 30, which is suitable for general-purpose use and securing loads. However, it is not specifically designed or certified for overhead lifting applications where strict safety regulations apply. Always use chains specifically rated and certified for lifting if that is your intended use.

How do I order the length I need?

You specify the required length in meters by entering the number into the 'quantity' box during the checkout process. You will receive one continuous length of chain.

What is the benefit of Hot Dipped Galvanised (HDG) finish?

The hot-dipped galvanised finish provides a thick, durable coating of zinc that offers excellent protection against rust and corrosion, making the chain ideal for outdoor use and extending its lifespan.

What are the exact dimensions of the chain links?

The chain has a link diameter (A) of 16mm. The overall dimensions of a link are approximately: B = 57mm, C = 94mm, D = 23.5mm, and E = 61.5mm.

Can I cut this chain myself?

Yes, you can cut the chain to your desired length. However, you will need heavy-duty bolt cutters or an angle grinder equipped with a metal cutting disc, as the material is thick and strong.

Troubleshooting

Chain appears to rust prematurely

Ensure the chain is not constantly exposed to highly corrosive environments (e.g., direct saltwater spray) without occasional rinsing. Minor surface rust can often be wiped away. Check if the galvanization is intact.

Difficulty attaching hardware

Verify that the connecting hardware (shackles, hooks) is appropriately sized for the 16mm chain links. Ensure hardware is not bent or damaged.

Chain links stiff or difficult to bend

This is normal for heavy-gauge chain. It indicates strength. For applications requiring more flexibility, consider a chain with smaller links or a different type of tethering solution if this is causing issues.

Received incorrect length

Double-check your original order confirmation to ensure the correct length was specified. Contact the supplier immediately with your order details if there was a discrepancy in fulfillment.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Highly durable and resistant to corrosion due to hot-dipped galvanization.
  • Strong link design suitable for secure tethering and anchoring.
  • Versatile for a range of applications including security and mooring.
  • Available in custom lengths for precise project needs.
  • Meets DIN 763 standards for assured quality.

Cons

  • Heavy gauge material can be difficult to handle for some users.
  • Galvanized finish may leave residue on hands or surfaces initially.
  • Not suitable for lifting applications where specific load ratings are critical without further certification.
  • Requires careful measurement to ensure correct length is ordered.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This chain is supplied in a continuous length as ordered. To set up, simply cut the chain to the desired length using appropriate heavy-duty cutting tools. Attach the chain to your anchor points or security devices using compatible shackles, hooks, or by threading through designated loops. Ensure all connections are secure and rated for the intended load.

Compatibility: The 16mm diameter links are designed to work with similarly sized hardware such as heavy-duty shackles, eye bolts, and security posts. While versatile, it's crucial to ensure that any connecting hardware is also corrosion-resistant and appropriately rated for the application.

Care: To maintain optimal performance and longevity, regularly inspect the chain for any signs of wear, damage, or excessive corrosion. Clean the chain periodically with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid prolonged contact with salt water or harsh chemicals, which can accelerate corrosion despite the galvanization. Store in a dry place when not in use.
