Tie Down Chain
The tie down chain is usually referred to as a Grade 70 chain, which is made of heat-treated carbon steel. As the name suggests, it is used as a tie-down device on trailers, so it is also known as a transport chain or a trucker’s chain. A tie down chain, similar to a rigging chain, is designed for securing and fastening loads during transportation. Tie down chains are commonly used in the cargo and transportation industry to secure items on trucks, trailers, flatbeds, or other vehicles to prevent them from shifting or falling during transit. These chains are typically used in conjunction with straps, binders, or tensioners to create a secure and stable tie-down system. Grade 70 chain tie down chains are easy to identify because they are usually finished with gold chromate. In addition to transportation, it is commonly used in towing, logging and safety chain applications.
Key Features Of Tie-Down Chains
Key features of tie-down chains may include:
Strength and Durability: Tie-down chains are constructed from strong and durable materials to withstand the forces exerted during transportation. They are often made from alloy steel for high strength and resistance to wear and corrosion.
End Fittings: Tie-down chains come with end fittings or connectors that allow them to be easily attached to anchor points on a vehicle or trailer. These end fittings may include hooks, grab hooks, or other types of attachments that provide a secure connection.
Working Load Limit (WLL): Tie-down chains are rated for a specific working load limit, which indicates the maximum load that the chain is designed to handle under normal use. It is crucial to choose tie-down chains with an appropriate WLL for the weight of the cargo being transported.
Compliance: Tie-down chains should comply with relevant regulations and standards, such as those set by the Department of Transportation (DOT) or other regulatory bodies depending on the region.
Safety: Proper use of tie-down chains is essential for the safety of both the cargo and other road users. This includes ensuring that the chains are correctly tensioned and that the load is adequately secured.

Transport chain also known as tie-down chains, binder chains, and trucker’s chain. As it’s named, we mainly use them in hauling and lashing heavy duty cargos. Also there are primarily two different grades of tie-down chain that are used in transporting heavy equipment: Grade 43 and Grade 70.
G43 high test chains are higher strength chains, the material is carbon steel. And the surface normally has Self-color finish or white/blue zinc plated. Meanwhile, it will also include a grade marking on links. For example “G43”. We usually use them in the trucking industry for tie downs.
As its name implies G70 Transport Chain is used primarily to tie down loads on over-the-road equipment. The yellow chromate (gold) plating makes it easily recognizable even from a distance. Made from heat-treated carbon steel it has about 25% more strength than high test chains. Also we will mark “G70” logo on the chain links so that people can better identify it
Note: Not for overhead lifting.
The most common combination with tie down and lashing chains is with rigging hooks. Such as clevis grab hooks, slip hooks and RJT hooks. Just as we have two grades of G43 and G70 for the distinction of chains, their corresponding hooks are also distinguished in the same way. For example, G70 chains are usually assembled with A330 (alloy steel) grab hooks. But if it is a G43 chain, we will use an H330 (carbon steel) grab hook to match it.
