Overview
This 16mm Grade 80 short link chain is manufactured from high-grade alloy steel and heat treated for exceptional tensile strength, wear resistance, and reliable performance in demanding lifting and rigging environments. Priced and sold by the metre, you can order precisely the length you need to build a custom chain sling or complete a rigging assembly.
Each link is permanently embossed for easy identification and traceability on site. Production uses German WAFIOS computerised automatic knitting, spot welding, calibrating, and heat treatment machinery, ensuring every link is dimensionally identical and consistently strong.
