robin products

If you're looking for a chain that will meet the exact requirements and conditions of your operation, then you're sure to find the solution you need amongst our comprehensive selection of chains; all of which come in a great range of sizes.

From heavy duty lifting applications, to area marking and crowd management, our chains are designed to provide the strength, durability and flexibility needed for each individual task. While all our chains are able to be used in a variety of operations, the chains we provide can be divided into two specific types, in order to aid the decision of those placing the order:

Lifting Chains

The term 'lifting chains' refers to the heavy-duty chains in our selection, which are made from steel, and are suitable for use in heavy lifting, towing, or load binding applications. These range from grade 80-100, and come in a choice of length/weight specifications, which should be considered carefully before placing your order.

Barrier Chains

Our barrier chain reels also come in a selection of lengths, as well as a variety of material finishes, in order to suit many environmental and operational demands. While they are most commonly used as part of barrier systems for crowd segregation, car parks and other applications of this nature, they can also perform an assortment of other low-duty functions, such as suspending signs and light fittings.
