Link Chains Short description Link chains provide a simple, flexible mechanical connection made from a series of interlocked links. They are suitable for connecting, securing, suspending or guiding loads where a continuous, adjustable length of chain is needed. Key benefits Reliable connection: interlocked links form a continuous pathway for forces, reducing point-loading and allowing movement without detachment. Flexible and adjustable: easily shortened, extended, or routed around objects to fit different layouts. Low-maintenance: straightforward construction makes inspection and upkeep simple. Versatile: compatible with common fittings and connectors when matched to the chain’s link dimensions. Important attributes Function: used to connect, secure, suspend, guide or restrain components and loads. Compatibility: pairs with hooks, shackles, anchors and other hardware that match the chain’s link size and connection type. Size: available in varying link diameters and overall lengths; choose the link diameter and length appropriate for your task. Material: manufactured in typical chain materials; material selection affects corrosion resistance and strength. Performance: load capacity and durability depend on the chain’s link size, material, heat treatment and manufacturing standard—use rated chain for load-critical or safety-critical applications. Practical use scenarios Securing gates, fences or doors where a durable, adjustable connection is required. Tying down or restraining cargo on trailers, pallets or racks when a flexible fastening method is needed. Suspending lights, signs or fixtures where the chain must carry weight while allowing height adjustment. Selection and safety notes Match the chain’s link diameter, material and rated capacity to your application and intended loads. Use appropriate connectors and hardware sized for the chain to maintain safe performance. Inspect regularly for wear, deformation, corrosion or damaged links and replace worn chain. For lifting or safety-critical work, use chains that are specifically rated and certified for that purpose and follow applicable standards and regulations. Why choose Link Chains Link chains offer a straightforward, adaptable connection method suitable for many general-purpose securing, suspending and guiding needs. Select the appropriate size and material for your application and follow safety guidance to ensure reliable service.
