This kind of chain is great for mechanical engineers who are developing drives for heavy-duty machinery. They come in single, double, triple, and quadruple strands, and are available in cottered, riveted, or uncoated constructions.
This type of chain is designed to hold a vehicle or piece of equipment up to 6,600 pounds. It also works as a tow chain. It has a zinc coating to prevent rusting, making it durable.
