When using chains, it is crucial to have a comprehensive understanding of the chain grade being utilized, as well as its specified working load capacities.
Grade 70 Chains: Known as transport chains or trucking chains, are easily distinguishable due to their golden color. While it’s most popular usage is securing loads on flatbed trailers, it’s also used in the oil industry, towing, landscape, logging, and agriculture.
Grade 80 Chains: Made of alloy steel, this chain has a high strength factor and high wear quality.
Grade 100 Chains: Strength of Grade 100 Alloy Steel Chains are 25% higher than grade 80. These are quickly becoming a favorite for heavy machinery movers.
Benefits of using Chains:
Durability & Strength: Chains have high tensile strength and are built to withstand heavy loads and harsh environments - that also enables them to bear the pressure and stress of transportation.
Versatility: Chains have many applications (depending on their grade), and are used for everything from heavy construction work to securing cargo in trailers.
Chains come with a variety of hook end fittings depending on your anchor points and requirements. From the standard Grab Hook which is designed with a narrow throat and used to shorten or hold a chain, to the Foundry Hook, which is most preferred by many heavy haulers.
Load Binders:
Load Binders are key components of tie-down transportation equipment, these tools play a crucial role in securing and tightening the chain around the cargo.
These kits come with several different binder options. From the standard ratchet load binder to the quick folding peerless ratchet load binder.
When using any binder, remember to take precautions. Above all, never exceed the working load limit!
- Using Gloves will help you secure a tighter grip on the handle
- With a lever binder, stay back of the handle when releasing it. This will reduce the risk of injury when lever snaps back.
- Users should be trained and knowledgeable of all requirements and working load limits before securing and transporting loads.
- Always inspect your gear before use.
When transporting cargo it's important to know its dimensions and weight - length, weight and cargo type. This will insure you use the correct number of tie-downs to secure your load.
