Overview
This Grade 80 short link chain is manufactured from high-grade alloy steel, quenched and tempered for exceptional tensile strength and abrasion resistance. Its short-link design maximises flexibility whilst minimising the risk of snagging or damage, making it the ideal chain for building custom lifting slings, rigging assemblies, and tie-down applications.
Each link is permanently embossed for easy identification and traceability throughout its working life. Produced using German WAFIOS computerised automatic knitting, spot welding, and calibration equipment, every link is identical, ensuring consistent performance and reliable load distribution across the entire length of chain.
Available in lengths from 1 m to 15 m, priced per metre, so you can order precisely the quantity required for your application.
