Product Description
Short Link Anchor Chain
SKU:
Manufactured from high-tensile steel, short-link chain is widely used in applications where reliability and load-bearing capacity are critical. The shorter internal link length creates a denser chain structure, increasing overall strength while reducing stretch during heavy loading. This makes it particularly suitable for lifting systems, securing equipment, and heavy-duty industrial operations.
In marine environments, short-link chain is commonly used for anchor chains, lifting points, and marine engineering applications where strength and durability are essential. Its compact structure also allows it to run smoothly through chain gypsies and windlasses commonly used on vessels and mooring systems.

Product Description
Each short-link has overall dimensions that do not exceed 5 times the material diameter in length and 3.5 times the material diameter in width. For example, a 10mm short-link chain will have maximum external dimensions of 50mm length x 35mm width, resulting in internal dimensions of 30mm length x 15mm width.
We supply cut to length and made up configurations and sets.
