As a common cargo fixing tool, Lashing Chain has a wide variety of types. According to different usage scenarios and needs, Lashing Chain has many types. Understanding these different types of Lashing Chain can help users choose the most suitable product according to actual needs, thereby ensuring the safety and stability of goods during transportation.
1. Ordinary steel chain
Ordinary steel chain is the most common type of Lashing Chain, which is usually used for general fixing and bundling work. It has good tensile strength and is suitable for fixing cargo of various weights. Due to its low manufacturing cost, ordinary steel chain is widely used in general cargo transportation.
Features: High strength, economical and affordable, suitable for general cargo transportation. The disadvantage is that it is easy to rust and needs to be used in a dry environment.
2. Galvanized chain
Galvanized chain adopts galvanizing process and has strong corrosion resistance. It is suitable for workplaces with humid or corrosive environments. It is often used in marine, chemical and other industries and can be used for a long time in harsh environments.
Features: Strong corrosion resistance, suitable for use in humid or harsh environments. The disadvantage is that the price is slightly more expensive than ordinary steel chain.
3. Alloy steel chain
Alloy steel chain has higher strength and durability and can bear greater loads. It is often used in the transportation of heavy goods that require high strength and high wear resistance, especially in the transportation of large machinery, equipment and engineering projects. The strength of alloy steel chain is several times that of ordinary steel chain, which is suitable for the fixation of heavy-loaded items.
Features: Extremely high strength, good wear resistance, suitable for heavy goods. Disadvantages are high price and heavy weight.
4. Plastic coated chain
Plastic coated chain is a chain with plastic material wrapped on the surface. It is usually used in places with high surface requirements, such as when it is necessary to avoid scratching the surface of goods or equipment. The plastic coating can effectively reduce the friction between the chain and the goods and protect the goods from damage.
Features: It can prevent scratches on the surface and is suitable for the transportation of precision equipment or fragile items. Disadvantages are low strength and suitable for light-loaded goods.
5. Explosion-proof chain
Explosion-proof chain is a type of Lashing Chain specially designed for explosion-proof environments. This chain is made of special alloy materials and can be used in explosive gases or dangerous environments. It can still maintain stable performance in high temperature, high pressure and explosion risk environments, ensuring the safety of cargo transportation.
Features: Suitable for dangerous goods transportation, excellent explosion-proof performance. The disadvantage is that it is expensive and the applicable scenarios are relatively special.
6. Rotary lock chain
The rotary lock chain is different from the ordinary chain. The end of the chain is equipped with a rotary lock, and the length or tension of the chain can be adjusted as needed. The rotary lock chain is particularly suitable for places where loads or fixed objects need to be adjusted frequently, and can be operated conveniently.
Features: Easy to operate, suitable for application scenarios that require frequent adjustments. The disadvantage is that the structure is more complicated and the cost is higher.
