Also known as single jack chain, our metal jack chain, the regular commercial chain formed by wire, features the lightest weight and smallest size. According to the raw material, the metal chain is classified into steel chain and brass chain.
Please note that this selection of weldless steel chain can neither be used for applications requiring high strength, nor for overhead lifting.
