Description
Double loop & jack chains are constructed in a series of eight-figure loops that are connected at right angles. They are ideal for supporting lighting fixtures & ceiling fans from ceilings, securing doors & gates, and hanging lights, boards, artwork & signage. These jack chains can also be used as a barrier or tailgate. Raptor Supplies offers these double loop and jack chains from brands like Arlington, Dixon, Brady & Peerless. These chains provide an adjustable option for hanging a wide range of linear & high bay fixtures.
Features
- Jack chains are strong enough to suspend weights without shifting due to wind.
- They hang loads straight while resisting kinking.
- Selected jack chains feature open or closed links for adjusting to required sizes.
- These chains can be looped around the item for securely hanging from a support.
- Dixon jack chains are equipped with S-hooks on both ends for attaching to bars, rods or hooks.
- Peerless jack chains feature a locked-link weldless design and have carbon steel construction with galvanised finish to provide corrosion resistance in harsh environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What is the difference between jack chains and kinematic chains?
A.
- Kinematic chains are made by an assembly of links that are connected by joints. They allow relative motion between each link for independent motion. This makes them ideal for robotics or machine tooling operations requiring precise positioning.
- Jack chains are made of thin wire links that are formed in the shape of an eight. They are generally used for light-duty suspending of signs or lighting fixtures.
Q. How are jack chains used in timber industries?
A. Looped jack chains with teeth are used in timber industries to move logs. These looped chains can endlessly rotate for a steady flow of logs down the production line into processing sawmills. However, users must be careful around jack chains as they are an occupational hazard and may cause severe injuries or death.
Q. What is the difference between double loop and jack chains?
A. Double loop chains feature interconnected loops and are suitable for heavy-duty applications like lifting and securing cargo. Jack chains have a twisted wire design and are ideal for hanging lightweight objects such as lighting fixtures and decorations.
Q. What maintenance is required for these double power chains?
A. Regular inspection for wear, corrosion or damage is recommended to ensure optimal performance and safety. Clean chains as needed and replace any damaged components promptly.
