G43 High Test Chain
A high test chain refers to a type of steel chain that is specifically engineered to offer high strength and durability for demanding applications. The term “high test” signifies that the chain has been manufactured from high-quality, heat-treated carbon steel, making it capable of handling heavier loads compared to standard chains.They often identified as Grade 43, which is a higher grade than lower-strength chains like Grade 30 (proof coil). High test chains are commonly found in industries such as transportation, construction, and marine operations. However, they are not rated for overhead lifting, which requires alloy chains (e.g., Grade 80 or Grade 100).

Key Features of Grade 43 High Test Chain
High Strength:
Made from heat-treated carbon steel, Grade 43 chain offers tensile strength far superior to lower-grade chains. It can safely handle heavy loads without stretching, breaking, or bending.
Durability and Corrosion Resistance:
The chain’s construction makes it highly resistant to wear, elongation, and corrosion. Galvanized finishes are available to provide added protection against rust in harsh, wet environments.
Versatility:
Whether you’re securing loads in the transport industry, anchoring in the marine sector, or using it for rigging in construction, Grade 43 high test chain is designed to meet a wide range of heavy-duty needs.
Heat-Treated Steel:
The chain is manufactured using a heat treatment process to ensure uniform strength throughout the links, making it a reliable choice for demanding applications.
Various Sizes and Lengths:
Available in a range of sizes and custom lengths, you can choose the perfect Grade 43 chain for your specific needs, whether it’s for towing or securing heavy equipment.
Applications of Grade 43 High Test Chain
Towing & Hauling:
Ideal for securing loads on trailers, trucks, or in the shipping industry. Grade 43 chains are perfect for transporting heavy goods safely and securely.
Marine Applications:
Used in anchor chains for marine vessels, Grade 43 chains provide the necessary strength to withstand harsh saltwater conditions and heavy loads.
Construction & Rigging:
Commonly used in construction sites for lifting, hoisting, and rigging, as well as for securing construction materials.
Agricultural Uses:
Helps in securing farm equipment and trailers, making it a dependable choice for farming and agricultural machinery.
