Commercial Playgrounds: Working load capacity up to 1,200 lbs (545 kg) with a certified 5:1 safety margin
Proof Load Testing: 100% proof-tested to twice the working load limit prior to finishing
Child Safety & Anti-Pinch Technology
Short-Link Geometry: Designed with pitch lengths under 28mm to prevent children's fingers from entering the chain links.
Thermal-Bonded Plastisol Coating: Our 2mm to 3mm thick PVC/Plastisol coating uses a thermal bonding primer that prevents peeling, cracking, or fading under extreme temperatures (-20 deg C to +70 deg C) and UV exposure (tested up to 2,000 hours).
360-Degree De-Burring: Every welded chain undergoes tumbling and mechanical deburring to remove sharp edges, flash residue, and micro-burrs.
Industrial-Grade Anti-Corrosion Options
Hot-Dip Galvanizing (HDG): Provides a thick zinc-iron alloy protective layer (>= 85 um) that self-heals against minor scratches, ideal for long-term outdoor park installations.
AISI 316 Marine Stainless Steel: Specially recommended for installations within 5 km of saltwater environments or high-humidity coastal recreational areas.
