what is the safe working load for this chain?

I bought six of these chains & used them to hang some pretty, big heavy hanging plants & I had no problem. If I were to guess, I'd say anywhere from 1 to 5 or six pounds should be safe.

That's the one that I use. I'd rather be safe than sorry - the unit is pretty heavy.

What type of load are you attempting to power ( welder , 1hp compressor, etc) ?

I've used 45 pounds on it with no problem whatsoever. The chain is quite long and probably could hold 4 45's lengthwise and possibly weight-wise. What size plates did you have in mind?

The pulleys on mine are plastic...dark gray with a silver metal housing. This should be considered a light duty rig....it works fine for my occassional use. And the two ton rating? Maybe that's the breaking point.. I would think the safe working load would be less than 500 pounds.

I have had one of them fall apart when a load was put on it. That should answer your question.

None specifically for a security chain... But there are places route a sercurity chain... I would recommend a coated chain/cable

According to the manufacturer, The tie down has a break strength of 3000 lbs and a working load limit of 1000 lbs hope this helps, Chris

A safety notice sticker on the step-stool says working load 200 lbs. You might get away with going over that, but you would be testing your luck pretty far.

I do not know. As my load is spread amongst several of them they are not stressed and I will probably never approach their limits. The seller should be better suited to answer this question.

I think sturdiness and weight limit it will hold. Cheaper ones can be very wobbly. I personally like a chain driven better vs belt driven.

Hi Mike! We have this written in the product description, which you might have missed: "500 lb actual rated load verified by SGS testing at maximum force of 531 lb" Hope that helps! If there's anything else, just let me know. I can be contacted directly via this link:

Assuming a stable platform and reasonable load I think it would be fine. I have only run mine ten minutes continuously but it was proven to be a very useful and reliable tool.

The manufacturer says 30 mph, most of the time this is not a problem since conditions that warrant use of these chains keep you below this speed anyway.

Should be more than capable I've loaded aprox 350 on mine and it didn't budge

It is one of the few items I returned because of the continuous issues with the chain. I bought a maketa (not sure of spelling) and never a chain issue.
