5/16 Inch Grade 70 Transport Chain
Our 5/16 in. Grade 70 Transport Chain is a reliable solution for securing lighter-duty loads. Our 5/16 inch transport chain has a Safe Working Load Limit (WLL) of 4,700 lbs and is stamped every 7th chain link so that you know exactly what it is safely rated for. This heavy-duty binding chain is ideal for those consistently going through tie-down straps due to cuts in the webbing causing damage.
Our Grade 70 Transport Chain meets and exceeds Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations and is ideal for securement applications where durability and strength are essential. Transport chain offers greater durability than tie-down webbing, which can easily become damaged around sharp edges.
5/16 inch Grade 70 transport chain and binders work great for securement applications on utility trailers, flatbed trailers, car haulers, and gooseneck trailers. Ratings for the 5/16 inch Grade 70 transport chain are governed by the National Association of Chain Manufacturers (NACM).
Trucking Depot also has a full lineup of ratchet chain load binders and lever release load binders designed for tightening the grade 70 binder chain in place.
