With years of production expertise and full traceability in place, we help global buyers—from OEMs to industrial distributors—source chains that meet their exact specifications.
This article explains our complete Custom Load Chain manufacturing process, covering every step from technical consultation and quotation, to testing, packaging, and after-sales support. By understanding how we work, you’ll gain a clear view of what to prepare, what to expect, and how we ensure quality from start to finish.
Custom Load Chain Manufacturing Process
Step-by-Step Guide for Professional Buyers
As a certified manufacturer of G80 and G100 alloy steel load chains, we provide OEM/ODM solutions tailored to your application. Whether you need chains for manual hoists, electric chain blocks, cranes, or custom lifting assemblies — this is how we work with you to deliver the right product, every time.
✅ Step 1: Collecting Technical Requirements
To offer a precise solution, we need the following details:
- Chain Size (Diameter): e.g., 6mm, 8mm, 10mm
- Chain Grade: G80, G100, or others
- Working Load Limit (WLL): Required lifting capacity in kg/ton
- Chain Length: Length per piece or total length required
- Intended Application: Manual hoist, electric hoist, lifting sling, crane, etc.
- Standards Required: EN 818-7, ISO, ASTM, JIS, or customer-specific
- Environment Factors: High/low temperature, corrosion exposure, etc.
💡 Tip: If unsure, share a drawing, sample, or a photo of your current chain. We’ll assist with specification matching.
✅ Step 2: Engineering Consultation & Custom Proposal
Our technical team reviews your requirements and provides:
- Material recommendations based on strength, wear resistance, and usage conditions
- Surface treatment options: Black oxide, zinc plating, hot-dip galvanizing, painting, etc.
- Optional components: Hooks, end links, chain bags, or integrated sling systems
- Preliminary drawings or 3D visuals for custom design confirmation
🔍 Focus: Ensuring performance, compliance, and compatibility with your equipment or standards.
✅ Step 3: Formal Quotation & Order Confirmation
Based on final specifications, we provide:
- A detailed quotation with unit price, MOQ, and lead time
- Certifications included (e.g., Mill Test Certificate, EN compliance)
- Trade terms: EXW, FOB, CIF, DDP available
- Contract/order confirmation signed after mutual agreement
📝 Recommendation: Confirm chain standard and marking requirements at this stage.
✅ Step 4: Sample Production (Optional but Recommended)
For new designs or critical applications, we offer:
- Functional samples for testing and visual inspection
- Test reports (mechanical strength, hardness, etc.) if required
- Timeframe: 5–10 working days depending on design
📦 Suggestion: Ideal for OEMs or new customers who require approval before batch production.
✅ Step 5: Mass Production
After sample approval, we proceed to full-scale manufacturing:
- Raw material inspection and lot tracking
- Precision forming, quenching & tempering heat treatment
- Dimensional calibration, surface finishing
- Laser marking (if needed for traceability)
🏭 Our facilities operate under ISO 9001 and follow full material batch traceability.
✅ Step 6: Quality Control & Certification
Every chain is subjected to:
- Proof Load Testing (at 2x WLL)
- Ultimate Breaking Strength Testing
- Hardness and microstructure checks
- Visual and dimensional inspection
📑 Documents provided upon delivery:
- Mill Test Certificate (MTC)
- Certificate of Conformity (EN/ISO/ASTM)
- Third-party inspection reports (upon request)
✅ Step 7: Packaging & Delivery
We ensure safe and export-ready packaging:
- Standard options: Iron drum, wooden box, pallet
- Custom labeling and barcoding available
- Chain tags or markings as per standard/spec
- Worldwide shipping support with tracking
📦 Lead Time: Typically 15–30 days depending on quantity and customization level
✅ Step 8: After-Sales Support
Our service continues after delivery:
- Technical documents and installation instructions
- Spare chain segments or accessories (upon request)
- Fast response to any issues or questions within 24h
🌍 We support global clients with reliable logistics and long-term technical partnership.
