Step up to a 3/8″ equipment tie-down chain when your load needs more holding power than a standard 20′, 5/16″ chain. The larger link size delivers a higher Working Load Limit (WLL) for securing skid steers, mid-sized excavators, tractors, attachments, and steel bundles on equipment trailers and flatbeds. Each chain includes forged clevis grab hooks that bite quickly into anchor points and chain links for confident, quick tensioning.
WLL tags make inspection and compliance simple, and the corrosion-resistant finish stands up to weather and road grime. Pair this 3/8″ chain with a matched ratchet load binder to maintain proper pretension throughout transport. If you’ve been maxing out smaller chain, upgrading to 3/8″ provides the extra margin needed for heavier machines and rough routes.
Pro tips: Use four-point tie-down on wheeled/track equipment, cross chains when practical, protect sharp edges, recheck tension after the first 10–15 miles, and never exceed the chain or binder WLL. Replace chains showing bent links, cracks, severe wear, or damaged hooks.
