Due to their strength and reliability, iron chains have extremely wide applications in numerous fields:
Lifting and Hoisting: Core load-bearing components (lifting chains) in crane hooks, hand-operated (lever) hoists, electric hoists, and other lifting equipment.
Transmission and Conveying: Used for transporting materials in conveyors, hoists, scraper conveyors, and other equipment (conveyor chains).
Transmission: Transmitting power in mechanical equipment (drive chains), such as chain drive systems in bicycles, motorcycles, and industrial machinery.
Binding and Fixing: Transporting goods (e.g., containers), fixing equipment, ship mooring, towing (bundling chains, mooring chains, drag chains).
Safety and Protection: Guardrail chains, isolation chains, anti-theft chains, etc.
Decoration and Connection: Decorative uses (e.g., necklaces, bracelets - mostly made of precious metals, but also of steel), pet leashes, door latch chains, and other everyday connections.
Agriculture and Forestry: Agricultural machinery, logging equipment, etc.
