Question:
Do you have these 1/2" link tie down chains in longer lengths? Also are they DOT approved?

Expert Reply:
We sure do Jeff. We actually have the 10' Long 1/2" link etrailer Grade 70 Transport Chain item # e93GV in two longer lengths that I have listed below. These chains are indeed all DOT approved.
16' - etrailer Grade 70 Transport Chain with Sling Hooks item # e33GV
20' - etrailer Grade 70 Transport Chain with Sling Hooks item # e53GV
Each of these tie chains, no matter what the length, have working load limits of 11,300 lbs and breaking strength of 45,200 lbs. They are made of zinc-plated Grade 70 steel for extra strength and durability and have clevis hooks at the ends. These chains are sold individually and are NACM and ASTM certified along with DOT approved.
If you're using these chains to secure heavy equipment or machinery, I recommend picking up the etrailer Quick Binder Ratchet Binder item # e34XV. These will ensure the chains are tightened without any slack to secure your load. The quick binder is sold individually and meets DOT and WSTDA T-6 requirements.
I attached a couple of pictures below so you can see these parts being used.
What kind of trailer do you have and what kind of heavy equipment are you hauling? Feel free to answer this and throw in any other questions you have, where it says Add Comment.

Thanks for your help! That's exactly what I needed to know. To answer your question, I have a landscaping company that's starting to take on bigger jobs so I bought a flat bed trailer and for now I'm renting excavators and the rental company said I needed 1/2" DOT approved chains. You guys have exactly what I need so I'll be ordering the 16' and 20' lengths. 10' is way to short for my needs. Thanks again.
