Value Collection WS-MH-CHN-034 High Test Chain 5/16 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION WS-MH-CHN-034 is a 5/16-inch welded high test chain rated at 3,900 pounds working load capacity and manufactured to Grade 43 standards. This chain ships in a 550-foot coil and is priced per 1-foot increment with a minimum order of 10 feet. The self-colored finish indicates an uncoated carbon steel construction suited for general-purpose lifting, towing, and load securement applications. It is commonly installed by riggers, contractors, and maintenance professionals who require a reliable, code-rated chain for industrial or commercial use.

This chain is appropriate for applications including trailer tie-downs, agricultural equipment rigging, construction load binding, and general industrial lifting where Grade 43 chain meets the specification requirement. The 550-foot coil format allows field cutting to custom lengths, making it practical for both fleet maintenance shops and job-site supply. Each welded link provides consistent inside dimensions of 0.543 inches wide by 1.272 inches long, supporting predictable hook and shackle engagement across standard hardware.

Installation Notes

Chain rigging and load securement should be performed by qualified riggers or mechanics familiar with applicable load ratings and OSHA or DOT securement standards. Always inspect each cut length for deformed, cracked, or stretched links before placing in service. Never exceed the rated working load capacity, and do not use chain as a substitute for rated sling assemblies in overhead lifting without verifying applicable regulations. Cuts should be made with an appropriate chain cutter or angle grinder — torch cutting is not recommended as heat can alter link integrity.
