BulletProof Hitches Extreme Duty Grade 70 Transport Chain 1/2" x 12'

The BulletProof Hitches Extreme Duty Transport Chain is a heat-treated Grade 70 chain measuring 1/2" in link diameter and 12 feet in length, rated for a working load limit of 11,300 pounds and an overall weight capacity of 46,000 pounds. It is sold as a single chain. The gold chromate finish meets DOT identification requirements, and every link is stamped "G70" in accordance with Department of Transportation regulations.

DOT-Compliant Grade 70 Construction

Grade 70 transport chain is the standard specified by the Department of Transportation for securing cargo during over-the-road hauling. The heat-treated steel construction gives this chain its high tensile strength, while the gold chromate finish lets DOT inspectors visually confirm the chain grade at a glance without stopping to read markings. The "G70" stamp on each link provides a second layer of compliance verification, which matters during roadside inspections where documentation speed counts.

High Capacity, Practical to Handle

At an 11,300-pound working load limit and 46,000-pound overall weight capacity, this chain is sized for securing heavy equipment, construction machinery, large trailers, and similar loads where a lighter chain would be undersized. Despite the 35-pound shipping weight, the 12-foot length is designed to tension and store without excessive bulk, so it can be coiled and stowed between hauls rather than left rigged on the trailer.

Corrosion Resistance for Working Conditions

The gold chromate finish does more than satisfy DOT color-coding requirements. It provides a corrosion-resistant barrier that helps the chain hold up when stored outdoors, used in wet conditions, or exposed to road salt. A chain that corrodes loses rated strength over time; the finish on this chain is part of its long-term reliability, not just a visual identifier.

Specifications

Who This Is For and Isn't

This chain suits operators who need a DOT-compliant Grade 70 transport chain for securing heavy equipment, machinery, or large loads during over-the-road hauling. At 11,300 lb WLL and 46,000 lb overall capacity, it is appropriate for applications where lighter-duty chain grades would be undersized or non-compliant.

This listing is for a single chain only; binders, hooks, and additional securement hardware are not included. Buyers needing a complete tie-down assembly will need to source those components separately.

Common Questions

What is the working load limit of this transport chain?

The BulletProof Hitches Extreme Duty Transport Chain has a working load limit of 11,300 pounds and an overall weight capacity of 46,000 pounds. These figures apply to the 1/2" x 12' Grade 70 chain as sold.

Is this chain DOT-compliant for over-the-road cargo securement?

Yes. The chain is heat-treated Grade 70 steel with a gold chromate finish, which is the DOT-specified color for Grade 70 transport chain. Every link is stamped "G70" in accordance with Department of Transportation regulations, allowing inspectors to verify the grade during roadside checks.

Does this listing include binders or hooks?

No. This listing is for a single transport chain only. Binders, hooks, and other securement hardware are not included and must be sourced separately.

How does the gold chromate finish help in working conditions?

The gold chromate finish on this transport chain provides corrosion resistance for use in wet conditions or environments with road salt exposure, and it serves as the DOT-required visual identifier for Grade 70 chain, allowing inspectors to confirm the chain grade without additional documentation.
