Australian Standard Chain - Short Link Chain is a specialized industrial chain designed and manufactured in line with Australian national standards, tailored for applications requiring compactness and enhanced load distribution. Crafted from high-quality carbon steel or alloy steel (depending on specific grade variants), it features shorter link pitches compared to standard long-link chains, ensuring a denser structure and improved stability under tension.
Rigorous production processes, including heat treatment and surface finishing (such as galvanizing or black oxide coating), guarantee compliance with Australia’s strict safety and durability benchmarks. Its compact link design not only saves space in storage and usage but also boosts resistance to link deformation. Widely trusted in industries where precision and reliability matter, this chain balances strength and practicality, making it ideal for light to medium-duty load-bearing, securing, and pulling tasks across diverse sectors.

Compact Short-Link Design: Shorter link pitches create a denser structure, enhancing load distribution, reducing link slippage, and saving space during storage and operation.
Strong & Durable Build: Made from high-grade carbon/alloy steel with heat treatment, it offers excellent tensile strength and wear resistance, enduring repeated use without easy damage.
Standard Compliance: Fully aligns with Australian industrial standards, ensuring consistent performance, safety, and compatibility with local equipment and attachments.
Corrosion Resistance: Optional galvanized or black oxide surface treatments protect against moisture, rust, and mild chemicals, suitable for indoor and outdoor environments.
Versatile Compatibility: Works seamlessly with standard Australian industrial attachments (e.g., short-link hooks, small shackles) that match its link size and load capacity.
Warehousing & Logistics: Securing small to medium-sized cargo (e.g., cartons, small machinery parts) on pallets or in storage racks, preventing shifting during handling.
Agriculture: Tying down farm supplies (e.g., fertilizer bags, small tools) on tractors or trailers, and supporting light agricultural equipment like irrigation pipes.
Construction (Light-Duty): Securing temporary structures (e.g., safety barriers, small scaffolding components) and lifting lightweight materials (e.g., wooden planks, small metal parts).
Marine (Inland/Coastal): Securing small boats, jet skis, or marine equipment to docks (with corrosion-resistant finishes) and handling light cargo on small vessels.
Retail & Manufacturing: Organizing and lifting small production parts (e.g., automotive components, electronic parts) in factories and securing inventory in retail warehouses.
Q1: What’s the difference between Short Link Chain and Long Link Chain, and how do I choose?
Short Link Chain has smaller link pitches for better load distribution and space efficiency, ideal for light-medium loads and tight spaces. Long Link Chain has larger pitches for heavier loads and faster installation. Choose based on your load weight (Short Link: typically <5t) and space constraints.
Q3: What load capacity does Australian Standard Short Link Chain have, and is it marked?
Load capacity varies by link size (e.g., 4mm-10mm links: 0.2t-3t). It’s mandatory to have clear markings on links, including the chain grade, load capacity, and manufacturer code, per Australian standards—always check these before use.
Q3: Can I use this chain in saltwater environments, and how to maintain it?
Opt for the galvanized variant for saltwater (coastal) use, as it resists salt corrosion better. After use, rinse with fresh water, dry completely, and apply a marine-grade lubricant every 2-3 months to prevent rust.
Q3: What attachments work best with Short Link Chain, and can I mix brands?
Use attachments (hooks, shackles) designed for short-link chains, with matching load capacity and link size. Mixing brands is allowed only if both meet Australian standards—avoid undersized attachments, as they can jam or break.
Q3: When should I replace the chain? Are there visible signs to watch for?
Replace if you see stretched links (gap between link plates >10% of original), cracked/worn link edges, heavy rust that can’t be removed, or faded/missing load markings. Never use a damaged chain—safety risks include load drops.
