Truck chains are a crucial component, ensuring safety during heavy cargo transportation. This article categorizes common truck chain types available on the market, provides detailed specifications, and offers guidance on selecting the right chain for your needs.
Truck Chain Classification
Truck chains are primarily classified into two main types based on their manufacturing method: cast chains and welded chains.
Cast Chains
Cast chains are produced by pouring molten steel into molds, linking the chain links while still in liquid form. This process ensures uniformity and high durability of the product. Cast chains are typically used in applications requiring heavy loads and high safety standards.
Welded Chains
Welded chains are manufactured by bending steel rods and welding them together to form chain links. Compared to cast chains, welded chains have a lower production cost but also lower durability and load capacity. Welded chains are commonly used in lighter applications that do not require excessive load-bearing capacity.
Due to their structural characteristics, cast chains always offer greater durability and load-bearing capacity than welded chains. Additionally, truck chains are also classified by link shape, such as: long link chains, round link chains, ladder chains, twist link chains, and more.
