Extended Product Information

FAQs

What does 'Calibrated Short Link' mean?

Calibrated means the links are manufactured to precise, uniform dimensions. Short Link refers to the ratio of link length to link diameter, typically providing greater strength and flexibility for its size compared to long link chains.

What is the breaking load of this chain?

The specific breaking load in KILONEWTONS is not fully detailed in the provided product information and should be confirmed with the manufacturer or a qualified engineer for critical applications.

Can this chain be used for overhead lifting?

This is a Grade 30 chain, which is suitable for general-purpose lifting. However, always consult specific safety regulations and ensure the chain and all associated rigging components are rated appropriately for the intended load and application.

How is the price determined?

The price is listed per metre, meaning you can order the exact length of chain required for your project.

What is the benefit of the galvanised finish?

The hot-dipped galvanised finish provides a protective layer of zinc that significantly enhances the chain's resistance to rust and corrosion, especially in moist or saltwater environments.

Where is this chain manufactured?

The manufacturer is SecureFix Direct.

What does MPN: SFCALG12 stand for?

MPN stands for Manufacturer Part Number. SFCALG12 is the unique identifier for this specific product variant from SecureFix Direct.

Troubleshooting

Chain appears to be rusting prematurely.

Inspect for deep scratches or damage to the galvanised coating. Ensure the chain is not stored in constantly damp conditions. For minor surface rust, it may be possible to clean and re-apply a suitable protective coating, but heavily compromised areas may require replacement.

Links are not feeding smoothly through a winch.

Verify that the chain is indeed calibrated and that the winch mechanism is designed for 12MM chain. Check for any kinks, twisted links, or debris caught between the links.

Connecting hardware does not fit the chain links.

Ensure the connecting hardware (shackle, hook, etc.) is sized appropriately for 12MM chain links and is rated for the expected load.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable hot-dipped galvanised finish for corrosion resistance.
  • Manufactured to DIN776 standards for assured quality.
  • Calibrated short links for reliable performance in specific applications.
  • Available per metre for custom length requirements.
  • Suitable for demanding environments like marine use.

Cons

  • Specific breaking load data not fully provided in the product description.
  • May be overkill for light-duty applications.
  • Requires proper storage to maintain galvanised finish integrity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This chain is ready for immediate use. Simply cut to the desired length if needed. Ensure any connecting hardware (e.g., shackles, hooks) is rated for the same load capacity as the chain.

Compatibility: The calibrated short links are designed to work with standard anchor winches and chain stoppers. Ensure any connecting fittings are compatible with 12MM chain.

Care: To maintain the integrity of the galvanised finish and prolong the chain's life:

  1. Regularly inspect the chain for signs of wear, damage, or excessive corrosion.
  2. Clean the chain periodically with water and a mild detergent if it becomes heavily soiled.
  3. Avoid prolonged contact with abrasive materials that could scratch the galvanised coating.
  4. Store the chain in a dry, well-ventilated area when not in use.
