Delivery

DIN Link Chain across the Gulf

Ex-stock from Dubai, delivered within 3 working days in the UAE.

Rigging hardware is bought on its working load limit and its certificate, and both travel with the part: every shackle, hook, chain and sling ships from Dubai with the manufacturer's test certificate, so the receiving inspection checks a document against a stamp rather than a claim. Hardware and fittings go by air or courier in cartons; wire rope, chain, hoists and anchors are heavy enough that sea freight is usually the sensible answer.

DIN 763, 764, 766 and 5685 chain: what each standard covers, and why none is lifting chain

DIN link chains are named for their link length and whether they are tested and calibrated — and the current DIN 764 and DIN 766 are written for chain conveyors, with an explicit ban on use as slings or lifting accessories. Here is what each standard covers, how they compare with Grade 80 lifting chain, and what they are actually for.
