Heavy alloy drag-line bucket chain and the matched bridles, swivels, sockets, and shackles used on walking-dragline excavators in surface mining and large-scale earthmoving.

Drag Line Chain and Attachments — page 1 of the Dibblee Industries catalog (W.J. Keating, 1940–)
Page 183 — original catalog

Drag-line chain is the heaviest end of the industrial chain spectrum. Each link is forged from alloy steel and proof-tested for the cyclic shock loads typical of bucket excavation. Companion attachments — drag chains, hoist chains, dump-rope sockets, swivels — are matched in pin diameter and break load.
