Product Description:
Grade 43 (G43) chain, also known as High Test chain, is a widely adopted medium-strength welded steel chain.
It delivers 50% higher tensile strength than Grade 30 ordinary chain at the same diameter. This calibrated short link chain balances durability and cost efficiency, serving as a universal solution for cargo lashing, towing, marine securing and general industrial lifting projects.
We supply G43 short link chains with three optional surface treatments and complete standard sizes. Custom length cutting, finished chain assemblies and OEM service are available to support global distributors, ship owners and industrial clients.
