Second hand anchor chains are pre-used chains that have been previously utilized on vessels or marine applications. These chains are typically inspected, cleaned, and reconditioned to ensure reliability and durability. They offer a cost-effective alternative to new anchor chains while maintaining sufficient strength for maritime use.

Size: 12.5mm to 152mm diameter

Grade: Grade 2, Grade 3, or U3 (common for second-hand chains)

Viscosity: Not applicable (solid metal construction)

Buoyancy: Negative (sinks in water due to steel material)

Material: High-tensile steel (commonly ASTM A986 or equivalent)

Length: Typically supplied in 27.5-meter shots (standard for marine use)

Finish: Hot-dip galvanized or bare steel (depending on condition)

Working Load Limit (WLL): Varies by size and grade (e.g., 12.5mm Grade 2 ~ 1.5 tons)

Breaking Load: Approximately 4x WLL (e.g., 12.5mm Grade 2 ~ 6 tons)

Certification: May include original mill test reports (if available for second-hand chains)

Common Standards: ISO 1704, DIN 766, or ABS/Lloyd’s Register (for marine use)
