Lebus L-180 Spectrum 8 Winchline Tail Chain - 5/8 in - 18 in - Carbon Steel

Product Description

The Lebus L-180 Spectrum 4 Series Winchline Tail Chain is a carbon steel tail chain assembly designed for use in flatbed trucking and industrial load securement applications requiring a rated working load limit of 13,000 lb. The winchline tail chain is the chain section that connects the winch line wire rope or strap to the load securement anchor point — typically a chain hook, load ring, or tie-down point on the trailer or load — bridging the connection between the winch tensioning system and the fixed chain anchor and completing the load securement assembly. The tail chain must be rated to the full working load of the securement assembly and must be compatible in size and grade with the hooks, rings, and other hardware used in the assembly.

The 5/8 inch size designation identifies the chain link wire diameter, confirming this tail chain is designed for use in standard flatbed load securement assemblies using 5/8 inch carbon steel chain hardware. The 18 inch length specifies the overall working length of the tail chain assembly, providing the correct reach between the winch line termination and the anchor point in standard flatbed securement configurations. The 13,000 lb working load limit confirms this tail chain is rated for standard flatbed and general freight load securement applications at the 5/8 inch chain size.

The Spectrum 4 Series designation identifies this as part of Lebus's Grade 4 carbon steel chain product line. Grade 4 carbon steel chain is the traditional standard for general-purpose load securement in flatbed trucking and industrial tie-down applications, providing reliable performance at a practical price point for everyday freight securement where the higher working load limits of Grade 7 or Grade 8 alloy chain are not required. The carbon steel construction is well suited to standard flatbed securement environments and is compatible with the full range of Grade 4 rated hooks, binders, and load securement hardware used in general freight transport.

The winchline tail chain must be inspected before each use for cracks, deformation, elongation, wear at the chain links and hook attachment points, and any condition that reduces the cross-sectional area of the chain wire below the manufacturer's minimum allowable limit. Tail chains showing any signs of damage, deformation, or wear must be removed from service immediately and replaced.

Note: Always inspect winchline tail chains before each use and remove from service immediately if any damage, deformation, elongation, or wear is identified. Never exceed the rated working load limit of 13,000 lb. Always use with hardware of equivalent or greater working load limit and compatible chain size and grade. Load securement must comply with applicable federal and provincial transport regulations including FMCSA and Transport Canada cargo securement standards. Never repair or modify a damaged tail chain — replace with a new assembly of the correct size, grade, and working load limit.
