Oil Field Chains are used in a very specific application in the offshore industry. They can be characterized by extremely narrow tolerances and strong fatigue strength. Typically used in multi-row chain strands of up to a dozen pieces.
Oil Field Chains are designed and built to provide maximum performance and reliability for oil field service.
They feature a loose fit center link plate for improving workability and solid bushing for Greater Wear Life.
