G80 Transport Binder Chain 2-Pack, 5/16"x20FT, 4900 lbs WLL, 4:1 Safety Factor, Grab Hooks, Galvanized Manganese Steel, DOT Compliant, for Towing, Dock, Factory, Construction & Mining
G80 Transport Binder Chain 2-Pack — 4900 lbs WLL, 20FT, DOT Compliant, Built for the Toughest Loads
Secure your heaviest cargo and most demanding towing jobs with complete confidence using the G80 Transport Binder Chain — a professional-grade, DOT-compliant tie-down chain rated to a Working Load Limit (WLL) of 4,900 lbs with a 4:1 safety factor (limit load of 19,600 lbs) for maximum load security across flatbed hauling, dock operations, factory floor transport, construction site rigging, mining, and port cargo handling. Each chain measures 5/16" in diameter by 20 feet in length, forged to Grade 80 (G80) standard with a minimum breaking strength exceeding 800 MPa — the recognized heavy transport standard for high-strength alloy steel chain used in demanding industrial and commercial towing applications. Galvanized manganese alloy steel construction on both the chain links and grab hooks provides outstanding rust resistance, a clean appearance, and long-term durability under the abrasive wear of heavy-load contact. Every chain section carries DOT-required imprint marks for traceability and regulatory compliance. This listing includes 2 chains — a complete pair for standard 2-chain load securing setups right out of the box.
Why Operators Choose This G80 Chain
- 💪 4900 lbs WLL — 4:1 Safety Factor — The 4:1 safety factor means the chain’s tested limit load is four times the rated working load — providing the engineered safety margin required for compliant professional cargo securing and towing operations
- ⛓️ Grade 80 (G80) — 800 MPa Breaking Strength — G80 is the established heavy transport chain standard — providing significantly higher tensile strength per chain diameter than standard Grade 43 or Grade 70 chains, allowing lighter weight chains to handle heavier rated loads
- 📏 5/16" x 20FT — Standard Transport Length — The 5/16" diameter and 20-foot length is one of the most widely used transport chain configurations for flatbed truck securing, dock loading, and general industrial cargo tie-down applications
- 🔗 Grab Hooks Included — Fast Attachment — Galvanized alloy steel grab hooks with solid shaft pins attach quickly and securely to load rings, binders, and anchor points without requiring tools — enabling fast, reliable load securing and release
- 🛡️ Galvanized for Rust & Wear Resistance — Full galvanized coating on both chain links and grab hooks resists rust, corrosion, and surface abrasion from heavy-load contact through years of outdoor and industrial use
- ✅ DOT Compliant — Imprint Marked — Imprint markings on each chain section confirm G80 grade and DOT compliance for regulated cargo securing operations — meeting the Department of Transportation requirements for load-securing equipment used in commercial transport
- 📦 2-Chain Pack — Complete Pair Ready to Use — Two complete chains with grab hooks in a single purchase provides a full standard 2-chain load securing set for immediate use without additional purchases

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the 4:1 safety factor mean?
A: The 4:1 safety factor means the chain is tested and rated to withstand a limit load four times its working load limit (WLL) before failure — so a 4,900 lb WLL chain has a tested limit load of 19,600 lbs. Always stay within the rated WLL during actual use — never exceed it.
Q: Is Grade 80 (G80) suitable for overhead lifting?
A: G80 chain is rated for overhead lifting applications. Always confirm the specific application rating with your rigging engineer and ensure all associated hardware (hooks, shackles, slings) is also rated for overhead lifting before use in vertical lift configurations.
Q: How do I verify the chain is genuine G80?
A: Every chain section carries DOT-required imprint markings identifying the grade (G80) and manufacturer. Always inspect imprint marks on received product to confirm grade before use in load-rated applications.
Q: Can these chains be used outdoors in wet conditions?
A: Yes! The galvanized coating on both the chain links and grab hooks provides effective rust and corrosion resistance for outdoor use in wet, humid, and marine environments. Inspect chains periodically for any coating damage or corrosion development.
Q: What binder type is compatible with these chains?
A: These 5/16" G80 chains are compatible with load binders (ratchet binders or lever binders) rated for 5/16"-3/8" chain. Always confirm binder WLL rating matches or exceeds the chain WLL before use.
