Industrial Chain

Proof coil (Grade 28), high-test, transport, and alloy chain for log hauling, cargo lashings, towing, deck rigging, and equipment service — bright, self-coloured, or hot-dipped galvanized.

Industrial Chain — page 1 of the Dibblee Industries catalog (W.J. Keating, 1940–)
Page 165 — original catalog

Proof coil chain (Grade 28) is suitable for ordinary purposes — log chains, guard-rail chains, cargo or deck lashings, towing chains, and certain implements, equipment, and machinery. Mechanical properties: proof test at two times working load limit; minimum breaking force at four times working load limit (manufacturer's acceptance test, not for service or design criterion). Available bright (self-coloured) or hot-dipped galvanized in standard drum and small drum lots, indexed by trade size and material diameter, with working load and weight per 100 feet tabulated.

Product types

  • Proof coil chain — Grade 28
  • High-test chain — Grade 43
  • Transport chain — Grade 70
  • Alloy chain — Grade 80 / 100 (for overhead lifting)
  • Bright, self-coloured, and hot-dipped galvanized finishes
  • Standard drum and small drum lots

Typical applications

  • Logging and forestry
  • Cargo lashing and securing
  • Towing and equipment recovery
  • Deck and rigging service
  • Guard rails and barriers
