Apex Tools Group 510626 Grade 70 Transport Chain 3/8in 45ft

Product Description

The APEX TOOLS GROUP LLC 510626 is a Grade 70 transport chain designed for heavy-duty load securement in commercial and industrial hauling applications. Constructed from heat treated carbon steel with a zinc electroplate and yellow chromate conversion coating, this chain delivers the corrosion resistance and tensile strength required for demanding transport work. Supplied in a 45-foot length at 3/8-inch diameter, the chain is proof tested at the factory and hallmarked C7 or M7 to confirm grade compliance. It is intended strictly for load binding, towing, and logging — not for overhead lifting.

This chain is suited for flatbed trucking, logging operations, and towing applications where Department of Transportation regulations govern load securement. The 45-foot pail pack is a common format for fleets and contractors who need a ready-to-deploy length without field cutting. Licensed riggers, freight haulers, and equipment operators are the primary installers and users of this product.

This product must not be used for overhead lifting under any circumstances. Store the chain in the pail or a dry location to minimize corrosion between uses.
