The tie-down chain is a chain used for very specific purposes. This type of chain consists of a panic hook and a snap hook, connected by a chain. The chain itself is protected by PVC. This PVC coating not only protects against rust and moisture, but also against damage caused by the rough chain. The product is available in many variations.
What is a tie chain?
As mentioned, a tie-down chain consists of a chain with a panic hook on one end and a snap hook on the other. We're all familiar with a snap hook, and it can be used to securely fasten the chain to something. The panic hook lives up to its name. It's a type of clasp or hook that can be released very quickly in emergency situations. Even if the tie-down chain is under tension, it can still be released. This is why tie-down chains are often used in equestrian sports and with sled dogs. If they panic for any reason, the tie-down chain's panic hook can provide immediate relief. However, be careful: if a tie-down chain under a lot of tension is released, it can become dangerous if it snaps loose.
Our tie-down chains are available in lengths from 10 to 150 cm.
