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.
