FAQ - Double Jack Chain

What is weldless chain?

Weldless chain, also known as a weldless link chain or hand chain, is a type of chain that is constructed without any welded links. Instead, each link is interlocked with precision, creating a strong and reliable chain without the need for welding.

How is weldless chain different from welded chain?

Welded chains, which have links that are permanently fused together through welding, weldless chains have interlocking links that are designed to provide strength and flexibility. Weldless chains are often used in applications where welding is not feasible or desired.

What are the advantages of weldless chain?

Weldless chains offer several advantages, including:

Flexibility: The interlocking design of weldless chains allows for greater flexibility and ease of movement compared to welded chains.
Easy Repair: In the event of damage or wear, individual links of weldless chains can be replaced easily, minimizing repair time and costs.
No Weak Points: Weldless chains do not have welded points that can become potential weak spots, enhancing overall strength and durability.
Versatility: Weldless chains are suitable for a wide range of applications, including overhead lifting, rigging, hoisting, and general-purpose use.

What materials are weldless chains made from?

Weldless chains can be made from various materials, including stainless steel, carbon steel, and alloy steel. The choice of material depends on the intended use, environment, and desired strength requirements.

Are weldless chains suitable for heavy loads?

Yes, weldless chains are designed to handle heavy loads and are commonly used in lifting and rigging applications. However, it is essential to select the appropriate chain size, material, and working load limit (WLL) based on the specific requirements to ensure safe and reliable operation.
