What you will find here

This section lists 13 g70 transport chains. Prices currently range from $13.49 to $1,799.99 in US dollars, and every product page shows the complete table of sizes and options so you can compare without clicking through each listing.

Common uses

Buyers use g70 transport chains for flatbed, step deck and van load securement, owner-operators building a DOT-compliant kit and replacing worn or out-of-service tie-downs. Add up the working load limit of every tie-down: under FMCSA rules the total must be at least half the weight of the cargo.

How to choose g70 transport chains

Choose the grade and size by the working load limit you need. Grade 70 is the transport standard; higher grades carry more for the same size. Make sure the hooks match your binders and anchor points.

Working load limits in this section run from 3,150 lbs. to 11,300 lbs. Use the working load limit — never the breaking strength — when you plan a load.

Three steps to the right choice

1. Check the working load limit. Use the WLL printed on the tag, not the break strength, when planning securement.
2. Pick the right end fitting. Flat hooks suit flatbed rub rails, wire hooks and snap hooks suit D-rings, and e-track fittings suit vans.
3. Protect the strap. Use edge protectors wherever webbing crosses a sharp edge.

Materials compared

• Boron Steel (1 product) — Steel offers high strength and abrasion resistance; check the finish for rust protection.

Specifications to compare

• End fitting — the hardware at the end of the strap or chain. Match it to your anchor points — flat hooks for flatbed rub rails, wire or snap hooks for D-rings, grab hooks for chain, E-track fittings for E-track.
• Working load limit (WLL) — the maximum load the item is rated to carry in normal service. For cargo securement, the WLLs of all tie-downs on a load must add up to at least half the cargo weight (FMCSA 49 CFR 393.106).
• Breaking strength — the force at which the item fails in testing. It is not a working rating — always plan with the WLL, which is set well below breaking strength.
• Thickness — thicker material resists abrasion and cutting better but adds weight.
• Safety factor — the ratio between breaking strength and working load limit (for example 3:1 or 5:1). A higher factor means more margin for shock loading and wear.
• Surface finish — the coating that protects the metal. Galvanized and zinc finishes resist rust; powder coat adds a tough painted layer.
• Chain grade — the strength class of the chain. Grade 70 is the standard for cargo securement; Grade 80, 100 and 120 alloy chains are stronger for their size and are the grades used for overhead lifting.

Before you buy

• Match chain size and grade to the binders and hooks you already use.
• Confirm the working load limit covers your share of the cargo weight.
• Measure the length needed to reach anchor points on both sides.

Price guide

Safety and care

• Never knot a chain or use a chain with stretched, bent or cracked links.
• Use edge protection where chain crosses finished or sharp edges.
• Only use alloy (Grade 80/100) chain for overhead lifting.
