H-Lift G70 Transport Chain Kits & Recovery Drag Chain Kits are high-strength, heat-treated alloy steel chain assemblies designed for heavy-duty towing, 4WD recovery, logging, and agricultural applications.
Ensure secure heavy-duty load restraint and reliable vehicle recovery with our Grade 70 Transport & Recovery Chain Kits. Fully compliant with AS/NZS 4344:2001, these kits are manufactured from premium heat-treated alloy steel featuring a distinct gold chromate finish for extreme durability and rapid visual identification across Australia and New Zealand.
Designed for flatbed tie-downs and shipping. Typically supplied in 9m to 12m lengths (6mm to 13mm diameters) inside heavy-duty plastic buckets. Pre-fitted with winged grab hooks, claw hooks, or clevis ends.
Engineered for high-stress pulling, 4WD recovery, logging, and agricultural use. Supplied in shorter 5m lengths with high-strength lug links, slip hooks, or grab hooks to handle dynamic shock loads.
Manufactured from high-strength, heat-treated Grade 70 alloy steel, offering an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and enhanced corrosion resistance against harsh weather conditions.
Rigorously tested to fully comply with AS/NZS 4344:2001 standards, ensuring legal, safe, and dependable heavy-duty load restraint for commercial transport.
| Chain Size | Lashing Capacity (LC) | Standard Kit Lengths |
|---|---|---|
| 8mm | 3.8 Tonnes | 5m, 9m, 12m |
| 10mm | 6.0 Tonnes | 5m, 9m, 12m |
| 13mm | 9.0 Tonnes | 5m, Custom lengths |
The grade number represents the chain's tensile strength (mean stress value). It is calculated by dividing the tensile force (Newtons) by the cross-sectional area of the two links ($mm^2$).
As the Grade Increases:
| Grade | Material | Primary Applications | Overhead Lift? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grade 30 (Proof Coil) |
Low Carbon Steel | Light duty, logging, playground equipment, simple barriers. | NO |
| Grade 43 (High Test) |
Carbon Steel | Towing, general utility, load securement. Stronger than G30. | NO |
| Grade 70 (Transport) |
Heat-Treated Carbon | Heavy Duty Securement. Standard for trucking tie-downs. Identified by Gold/Yellow finish. | NO |
| Grade 80 (Alloy) |
Alloy Steel | Standard Lifting Slings. High ductility (stretch) to absorb shock. | YES |
| Grade 100 (Premium) |
Alloy Steel | Heavy Lifting. 25% stronger than G80. Harder surface for abrasion resistance. | YES |
Even with the correct grade, misuse can lead to catastrophic failure. Ensure your riggers are trained to avoid these three common hazards:
A frequent and dangerous mistake is using the load chain inside a hoist to wrap around a load.
Using Grade 70 (Gold) chain for overhead lifting is a common error because the chain looks robust.
Alloy chain is tough, but not invincible. Proper storage and inspection are vital.
The G70 Transport Chain and Fittings range is widely utilized in the transportation industry for heavy-duty load binding, tie-down, and securing applications. Engineered for high performance, these components meet the rigorous requirements of AS/NZS 4344, ensuring safety and reliability in Australia and New Zealand.
Fittings such as hooks, links, and connectors are manufactured to match the G70 chain's performance. They comply with AS/NZS 4344 and feature critical safety elements, such as latch mechanisms on hooks to prevent accidental detachment.
