An increase of measured breaking loads of approximately 25 percent can be achieved by the use of cast steel rather than cast iron chains. As an alternative, there is also a galvanized, zinc plated version for additional corrosion protection.

Threaded pins in the connecting link make the chain easy to close and unclose. Chains are available with a pitch of 63.5mm.
