U2 Stud Link Anchor Chain – The Industry Standard for Secure Mooring
Robust Construction for Reliable Marine Anchoring
Our U2 grade stud link anchor chain features a reinforced center stud design that provides superior strength-to-weight ratio compared to studless alternatives. Manufactured through precision forging, casting, or welding processes, these chains deliver dependable performance in the most demanding marine environments.
Key Structural Advantages:
• Stud-Reinforced Links – Enhances structural integrity and prevents link deformation under load
• Optimized Weight Distribution – The stud design improves chain handling characteristics
• Standardized Shackle Lengths – Available in 25-27.5 meter sections for easy installation
• Secure Connection System – Kenter shackles or joining links ensure reliable chain assembly
