Apex Tools Group Llc 184616 Grade 43 3/8 in High Test Chain 40 Ft

Product Description

The APEX TOOLS GROUP LLC 184616 is a Grade 43 high test chain supplied in a 40-foot square pail with a shot peened finish. Grade 43 chain is a high-strength carbon steel chain engineered for load-securing, towing, and rigging applications where a higher working load limit is required than Grade 30 proof coil. The shot peened surface treatment improves fatigue resistance and provides a uniform finish. At a working load limit of 5,400 pounds and a pail weight of 63.2 pounds, this chain is suited for contractors, riggers, and trade professionals who need a ready-to-deploy bulk chain supply on the job site.

Grade 43 high test chain sees regular use in load binders, tow chains, logging, and general industrial tie-down applications. The 40-foot pail format is practical for job sites where chain is measured and cut to length or deployed in full runs. The 3/8-inch link size is a common working size compatible with standard Grade 43 hooks, shackles, and load binders rated for that link diameter. This chain is not rated for overhead lifting unless specifically certified for that purpose.

Installation Notes

Chain installation and load-securing applications should be performed by qualified personnel familiar with applicable rigging and tie-down regulations, including DOT cargo securement standards where applicable. Always verify that all connecting hardware, hooks, and binders carry a working load limit equal to or greater than the chain rating before use. Inspect chain links for wear, stretch, cracks, or deformation before each use and remove from service if any defects are found. Never exceed the stated working load limit.
