CM Grade 30 Proof Coil Chain
Electrically welded from low carbon steel, CM grade 30 is a durable, economical utility chain for applications which do not require a high strength to weight ratio. It has a wide range of applications throughout industry and agriculture, including logging, guard rails, towing, tailgates, and securing loads.
Specification name: Proof coil.
CM Grade 43 High Test Chain
A higher strength carbon steel chain provides an increased strength to weight ratio. Industrial applications include lumbering, construction, binding and load securement assemblies.
Specification name: High test.
CM Grade 70 Binding Chain
Load ratings for CM grade 70 chain average 20% higher than CM grade 43 chain, so a smaller size chain can be used for many jobs.
