Apex Tools Group Llc 184516 Grade 43 High Test Chain 5/16 in

Product Description

The APEX TOOLS GROUP LLC 184516 is a Grade 43 high test chain supplied in a 60-foot square pail with a shot peened finish. Grade 43 chain is a step above proof coil in tensile strength, making it a standard choice for load binding, towing, and general rigging where a higher working load limit is required. This chain has a 5/16-inch link diameter and a working load limit (WLL) of 3,900 pounds. The pail packaging keeps the chain organized and tangle-free on a job site or in a service vehicle. Installers and riggers in construction, utility, and general trades work with this chain type regularly.

This chain is suited for binding, securing, and towing applications in commercial and industrial environments. The 60-foot pail format is practical for contractors who need a ready supply on hand for repeated use. The shot peened finish improves surface hardness and resistance to fatigue. Applications include flatbed load securement, equipment towing, and general construction rigging where a high-strength, mid-grade chain meets the load requirement without stepping up to a heavier Grade 70 or Grade 80 product.

Installation Notes

Rigging and load securement work should be performed by qualified personnel familiar with applicable ASME and DOT load securement standards. Always verify that all hooks, shackles, and binders are rated equal to or greater than the chain WLL before use. Inspect chain links for deformation, cracks, or corrosion before each use and remove any damaged sections from service. Never exceed the 3,900-pound working load limit stated for this chain.
