William Hacket Grade 8 Chain 13mm Long Link Yellow

The William Hackett Grade 8 Chain 13mm Long Link Yellow is a premium, high-strength alloy steel chain engineered for demanding applications such as lifting slings, towing, mooring, fishing/trawling, load securing, and industrial restraint systems where superior flexibility and durability are required.

Produced by William Hackett, a renowned UK manufacturer with over 130 years of expertise in chain and lifting equipment, this long link (also equivalent to Grade 80 or G80 in performance standards) variant features elongated links for better articulation, easier passage over sheaves, pulleys, or corners, and reduced snagging in dynamic or marine environments. The signature bright yellow painted finish boosts on-site visibility for enhanced safety, quick identification, and basic corrosion protection in harsh outdoor, marine, or industrial conditions.

Features

• Premium Alloy Steel: Quenched and tempered for outstanding toughness, wear resistance, impact strength, and fatigue life.
• Grade 8 (Grade 80) Performance: Provides excellent strength-to-weight ratio with a typical safety factor of 4:1 or higher.
• Long Link Configuration: Delivers greater flexibility and often lighter weight per meter than short-link equivalents, ideal for chain binders, fishing gear, or applications requiring movement.
• Yellow Painted Finish — Improves visibility in low-light or busy work areas, supports quick visual inspections, and offers rust/ weathering resistance (additional finishes like galvanizing available in related products).
• Compliance & Quality — Proof-tested during production (often to 2.5 × WLL), embossed with manufacturer markings for full traceability, and aligned with relevant alloy chain standards (performance mirrors EN818-series where applicable for Grade 80 equivalents).
• Temperature Performance — Operates reliably from -40°C to +200°C without derating the working load limit (reductions apply at higher temperatures).
• Versatile Professional Use — Trusted in construction, offshore, marine, trawl fishing, transport lashing, and heavy rigging by users demanding proven reliability.
