The GRADE 70 Transport Chain is a heavy-duty chain designed for heavy-duty transportation applications

Mar 01,2023
The GRADE 70 Transport Chain is a high-grade, heavy-duty chain designed for heavy-duty transportation applications. This heavy-duty chain is plated with yellow chromate, making it easy to recognize. Its heavy-duty construction is made of heat-treated carbon steel and has a working load limit of up to nine thousand pounds. The transport chain is hallmarked with the manufacturer's symbol and a grade marking every one to three feet. It is not recommended for overhead lifting.
The G70 Transport Chain features a clevis grab hook on both ends and standard links to secure binders and hooks. Each link is stamped with a G70. This high-quality steel chain is ideal for transportation and has a break-link rate of 6/10000. It meets the standards of the California Highway Patrol and Department of Transportation. Its corrosion-resistant coating protects it from rust and ensures its long-term performance.
The Grade 70 Transport Chain has seven links stamped with G70 and is designed for use with 5/16 grab hooks and load binders. It is stronger than High Test Grade 43 Chain and meets California Highway Patrol and Department of Transportation guidelines. It can be used for overhead lifting but should not be used for overhang lifting. This chain is rated at six times higher than its counterpart, the G80 chain. There is no reason to choose the cheaper G70 Transportchain.
The G70 transport chain has a 7th link stamped with G70. It is suitable for use with binders and hooks that are five-sixteenths of an inch. The strength of this chain is twenty times higher than High Test Grade 43. This high-quality chain is designed to withstand the most demanding of work. And the heat-treated steel used for its construction makes it ideal for transporting heavy loads. If you need the highest-quality chain, choose the G80 or G100 version.
Compared to G60 and G80 chains, the Grade 70 Transport Chain is higher-graded steel, with a 7th link stamped with the number of links. This is the most commonly used steel chain in the transportation industry, and it is made from high-grade Mn alloy. The G70 transport chain is ideal for overhead lifting and has high-quality steel. A grade eighty-one chain has the same strength as a grade seven-one.
Grade 70 transport chains have a 7th link stamped with the number G70, and they are used with 5/16 grab hooks and load binders. It is a durable, high-strength alloy chain that is ideal for heavy-duty applications. It is also used in a variety of industrial applications, such as construction for cranes.
