10mm lashing chain for strength and versatility

There are different types of lashing chains available, designed to suit specific load requirements. Grade 70 chains are commonly used for general load securing applications, providing high tensile strength and resistance to wear and tear. Grade 80 chains offer even greater strength and are suitable for heavy-duty applications. Grade 100 chains are the strongest, ideal for extremely heavy loads or specialized lifting and rigging operations. The choice of lashing chain type depends on factors such as load weight, working conditions, and regulations.

Lashing chains are typically made from high-quality alloy steel, which gives them their strength and durability. They feature specific characteristics such as a defined chain pitch, a specific chain diameter, and various attachment points like hooks or rings. Lashing chains come in different sizes and working load limits to match specific load requirements. They are designed to be resistant to elongation and deformation, ensuring consistent performance throughout the transportation process.

The primary function of lashing chains is to secure and restrain loads during transportation. They are commonly used in the shipping, logistics, and transport industries to prevent cargo movement, shifting, or falling off vehicles or vessels. Lashing chains enable users to create strong and reliable connections between the load and the anchoring points on trucks, trailers, or ships. They maintain the load's stability, ensuring safe and efficient transportation.

The process of using lashing chains involves several steps. Firstly, assess the load size, weight, and type to determine the appropriate lashing chain and configuration required. Position the load on the transport vehicle or vessel, ensuring it is centered and balanced. Attach the lashing chains to the load and anchor points, such as D-rings or lashing rings, using appropriate hooks or connectors. Gradually tension the chains, applying force evenly to secure the load. Double-check the tension and connections to ensure proper load restraint. Finally, regularly monitor the load and lashing chains during transportation, making adjustments if necessary to maintain load stability.
