Welded Chains
Welded chains tend to be a lot stronger than weldless chains type and are commonly used for security, hoisting or lifting, and other heavy duty applications.
- In the USA, mild steel varieties of welded link chain are available as:
- Short Link Chains
- Medium Link Chains
- Long Link Chains
- The longer the chain link, the lighter the chain will be per unit length, which is advantageous.
- However, long link chain does not pass through devices such as pulleys or windlasses as readily as short link chain will.
