Lashing Chain

Our Lashing Chain is a robust and durable piece of equipment designed to secure cargo, equipment, and various objects on the deck of ships or other maritime facilities. These chains are made of high-strength steel, often galvanized or coated with corrosion-resistant materials to ensure they can withstand harsh weather conditions and the corrosive marine environment.

 

Key Characteristics:

High-strength steel construction with exceptional durability

Available in three standard diameters: 9mm, 11mm, and 13mm

Robust hooks on both sides for secure attachment

DNV GL certified for maritime use

Multiple terminal configurations available (hooks, shackles, elephant feet)

Galvanized or powder-coated for corrosion resistance

Suitable for heavy cargo on ships and RoRo transport

Variable length configurations from 3 meters to 10 meters

Compliant with international maritime standards

Introduction

Q & A
What is a grade 100 chain (G100 chain)? What is special about it?
Grade 100 chain is also called g100 chain or g10 chain. G100 chain is about 25% better than ordinary alloy lifting chain.
When should I use a G100 chain?
First of all, you can use grade 100 chain in any situation. You can use it for overhead lifting, heavy lifting, trailer transport fixing, log lashing, bulk carrier lashing. As the mainstream and highest performance chain on the market, you can use it in any work scenario.
What should I pay attention to when using Grade 100 chain? Is it safe?
You need to pay attention to whether the working tension exceeds the maximum working safety load we specify. The maximum working safety load we recommend is not higher than one-fourth of the chain breaking load. Each link has passed the test of 2.5 times the working load before leaving the factory. So it is undoubtedly safe to use it within the normal working load range.
Is Grade 100 chain stronger than Grade 80?
Grade 100 chain has a significantly higher strength-to-weight ratio than grade 80 chain (approximately 25% higher), and the surface material of grade 100 chain is also slightly harder, which provides some advantages in terms of wear resistance.
I don't see the size I want in the datasheet, can I get a custom size?
Yes, please contact our sales staff. They will work with our technicians to propose a solution for you based on your application scenario, which is usually free of charge!
Our chains are mostly exported to more than 30 countries
both in European and Asian markets.
