Bucket packaging keeps the chain neatly contained, prevents tangling, and makes transport on-site straightforward.
Ideal uses and practical scenarios
- Securing cargo on flatbeds, trailers, and transport trucks during loading and transit.
- Tying down construction equipment, pallets, or machinery where a reliable, longer chain is advantageous.
- Creating temporary tie-downs or lashings for moving supplies between jobsites, warehouses, or staging areas.
- Rigging and light-duty towing applications where a strong, welded chain is preferred for safety and control.
Who should consider this transport chain
- Fleet operators and trucking professionals needing a versatile, high-capacity chain for load securement.
- Contractors and landscapers who frequently move heavy equipment or materials and require reliable, long-length chains on-site.
- Farmers and industrial workers looking for a durable, easy-to-store chain that performs reliably under demanding conditions.
Care, safety, and best practices
- Always use the chain within its Working Load Limit (WLL) of 3,150 lbs. Never exceed the rated capacity for any application.
- Inspect the chain before each use for bent links, corrosion, cracks, or signs of wear. Remove and replace any chain that shows damage.
- Avoid dragging or dropping the chain onto hard surfaces to minimize impact damage that can compromise integrity.
- Store in the supplied bucket in a dry environment to extend the life of the finish and prevent rust.
- Use compatible anchors, hooks, and binders rated for Grade 70 chains to maintain overall system safety.
Designed for serious work and dependable performance, the Koch Industries 70 Grade Welded Steel Transport Chain delivers peace of mind when securing, lifting, or towing—backed by robust construction, a practical length, and thoughtful packaging that keeps your workflow efficient.
