Heavy-Duty Cargo Control Chains for Secure Transport

When you’re hauling heavy loads, changing terrain and demanding service conditions, the right chain can mean the difference between a safe haul and a costly incident. At Custom Truck One Source, we stock a full line of cargo-control and tie-down chains built for heavy-duty trucks, flatbeds, vocational service rigs and equipment trailers.

Why Premium Chains Matter

Cargo control chains face harsh conditions: abrasion from sharp edges, dynamic loads during transit, weather exposure, and regulatory inspections. According to industry sources, transport chains made from high-strength steel outperform standard web straps when securing loads, especially where sharp edges or heavy mass are involved. Using the wrong grade or spec chain can lead to failure, regulatory issues or downtime.

Fitment & Selection Best Practices

Selecting the right chain involves more than length and hooks. We help you ensure:

• The correct grade (Grade 70, 80, 100 or 120) for your load size and service cycle.

• Appropriate working load limit (WLL) and break strength ratings for your duty.

• Correct link size and length for your trailer or body layout, anchor points and load type.

• Proper hooks and end fittings (clevis grab hooks, slip hooks, latch hooks) that match your anchor system.

• The right finish and corrosion resistance, especially for service bodies exposed to weather, salts and abrasion.

• Regular inspection of chains for wear, elongation, corrosion or damage—replace if any signs of fatigue.

Fleet & Service Body Advantages

For fleet operations or vocational trucks, standardizing on high-quality cargo chains delivers multiple benefits:

• Better safety and reduced risk of load shifts, regulatory violations or accidents.

• Longer service life and fewer replacements compared with light-duty chain or straps.

• Streamlined inventory: picking preferred specs simplifies ordering, stock control & training.

• Improved uptime: when securement hardware fails, it can delay dispatch; using trusted chain brands keeps trucks moving.
