Use caution when pulling. Any angle beyond vertical (zero degree) will reduce the rated capacity. The minimum breaking strength is 4X the rated capacity.

Grade 43 vs Grade 70 Chain
It’s important to know the working load limits (WLL) of the chain you are using, which will be approximately one third of their break strengths – or the amount of force needed before the chain will break. The working load limit is determined by both grade and diameter and you can determine its WLL using this chart.
| Working Load Limit in Pounds - Grade 43 & Grade 70 | ||
|---|---|---|
| Chain Size (Inches) | Grade 43 | Grade 70 |
| 1/4" | 2,600 | 3,150 |
| 5/16" | 3,900 | 4,700 |
| 3/8" | 5,400 | 6,600 |
| 7/16" | 7,200 | 8,750 |
| 1/2" | 9,200 | 11,300 |
