The Basics of Steel Chains

In the trucking industry, the industry standard truck chains basically mean binder chains and snow chains, in reality there are more chains products than tie down chains, there are proof coil chains, high test chains, twisted link chains and more, and for towing and recovery needs, tow chains are there to stay, it is no secret that all these are alloy steel chains.

Tie down chains usually mean grade 70 transport chains , we usually say binder chains, there are two different standard bodies governing these chains, American Society for Testing and Materials, and NACM. ASTM standard indicates the chains are short link ones, regular link chains are made to NACM standard. People use short link chains when they need more flexibility, for instance the short links can wrap around the corner easily, NACM chains won’t work under these conditions. Tie down chains are mostly seen on the trailers, securing the load on the truck, but you will see some other uses of these transportation chains.

The tire chains mostly used when it’s snow covered, thus the name “snow chains” is also a popular one, obviously tire chains don’t equal snow chains, people use tire chains on the slippery road, not only when snow covered. Usually tire chains are sold in pairs, the reason is that people need to chain up tires in pairs. Most tire chains are made from steel. You will have to buy the matching size of tire chains for your vehicle, say you drive a coupe, you definitely need car tire chains, You will need truck tire chains if you drive a pickup with big wheels.

When it comes to hardware chains, there are a lot more than you can imagine, you’re going to see all kinds of chains in this family of product. For instance, such as twisted link machine chain or straight link machine chains, and twisted and straight link coil chains, sash chain , proof coil chains , hot dip or electro-galvanized, and those steel chains for decorations, of course there are more steel chain product. These chains have their own features and special use case, grade 30 chains, aka proof coil chains, are the popular one, as an example, grade 30 steel chains can be used to build oil capture net.

When it comes to tow chain , we usually only see 5/16” tow chains, the WLL of tow chain is 4700 lbs, which is good enough for most towing needs, and there are only a few varieties available, for instance we only need 6′ and 10′ long tow chains, and hooks have long shank J hook and sports T & J hook variation, since tow trucks all have same design and set up, only a few varieties of the tow chains are required, both towing businesses and chain manufacturers can benefit from this simplicity.
