Description
The Force Grade 40 Hot Dipped Galvanised Short Link Chain range is one of the newest additions to our short link chain catalogue. This range was introduced to meet a clear need in the market: a reliable mid-range option that bridges the gap between low-cost, often inconsistent Chinese short link chain and the premium and top-end European options.
Our decision to partner with Force was driven by several key factors. Force brings over 75 years of industry experience, employs high-end manufacturing machinery, and operates with a highly skilled workforce. Importantly, all Force chains are manufactured in Europe, ensuring consistent quality and adherence to more strict production standards.
The result is a chain range that offers superior calibration, galvanising quality, and overall finish when compared with many low-cost imports, while still maintaining a very attractive and competitive price point. All Force short link chains are calibrated, factory tested and certified, providing confidence in there quality.
Manufactured to Grade 40, the Force range delivers a 33% increase in strength compared to standard Grade 30 short link chain.
The Force short link chain is available in both ISO 4565 and DIN 766 measurement standards, with sizes ranging from 6mm to 16mm, ensuring compatibility with the majority of anchoring winches and chain wheels.
