⛓️ Tow Chains Buying Guide & FAQ – Aqua Rigging

🔍 What is a Tow Chain?

A tow chain is a heavy-duty metal chain used to pull, recover, or secure vehicles, machinery, or loads. Constructed from high-strength alloy or carbon steel, tow chains are ideal for towing, recovery, and load restraint applications across automotive, construction, and agricultural industries.

Unlike synthetic straps, tow chains are resistant to abrasion, extreme temperatures, and mechanical damage, making them a reliable solution for demanding environments.

🏗️ Where Are Tow Chains Used?

Tow chains are widely used in:

• Vehicle towing and recovery (automotive, truck, heavy-duty)
• Load securement on trailers, flatbeds, and shipping containers
• Agricultural and forestry equipment movement
• Construction site machinery handling
• Marine and port operations requiring chain-based restraint

Each chain can be paired with hooks or fittings for specific tasks.
