Medium Duty Chain

Construct barriers and hang fixtures such as lighting and storage racks. While it won't hold up the same amount of weight as heavy duty chain, this chain is lighter and easier to carry.

Warning: Not for overhead lifting.

Tangle-Resistant Chain—Unlike other straight-link chain, short, wide links make this chain easier to coil and less likely to knot when you store or transport it.

Steel—Best for dry environments since moisture will cause this chain to rust.

Zinc-Plated Steel—A common and economical choice, the zinc plating resists occasional moisture.

Galvanized Steel—A thick coating protects this chain in wet and outdoor environments about as well as 304 stainless steel, but it corrodes when exposed to salt water and chemicals.

High-Visibility Chain

String this chain up to create an easy-to-view safety barrier around restricted areas.

Warning: Not for overhead lifting.

Powder-Coated Steel—Powder coating steel gives it a colored finish and a strong barrier against moisture and mild chemicals.
