► Austlift | Grade 70 Fittings

Purpose-Built Transport Chain Components for Secure Load Restraint

Strong transport chain is only as reliable as the fittings connected to it. Whether you're replacing worn components, assembling a new transport chain or maintaining a fleet of restraint equipment, choosing quality Grade 70 fittings helps keep loads secure while improving efficiency on the road. Austlift Grade 70 Fittings are engineered to work with Grade 70 transport chain, providing dependable connections for transport, agriculture, civil construction, freight & commercial vehicle applications throughout Australia.

Designed specifically for load restraint rather than overhead lifting, these transport fittings combine durability with practical functionality, making them an essential part of many transport chain assemblies. If you're building a complete restraint system, Industrial Shed also offers compatible products within our Grade 70 Chain, Load Binders & Chains, Ropes & Tie Downs collections.

What Are Austlift Grade 70 Fittings?

Grade 70 fittings are purpose-designed transport chain components manufactured to connect, tension or terminate Grade 70 transport chain used for load restraint applications. Unlike lifting components, these fittings are intended for securing loads during transport & should always be used according to the manufacturer's recommendations.

The Austlift Grade 70 range includes transport hooks, grab hooks, hammerlocks, connecting links, clevis fittings & other transport chain accessories designed to help create complete restraint assemblies.

These components are commonly specified across industries including:

► Road transport
► Freight & logistics
► Agriculture
► Civil construction
► Earthmoving
► Local government
► Plant hire
► Equipment transport

Selecting compatible fittings helps maintain the integrity of the complete restraint system while simplifying maintenance & replacement when individual components become worn.

Why Choose Austlift Grade 70 Fittings?

Transport equipment is subjected to constant vibration, heavy loads & harsh environmental conditions. Choosing quality fittings helps improve durability while supporting safer load restraint practices.

Austlift Grade 70 Fittings provide:

► Designed specifically for Grade 70 transport chain
► Durable steel construction
► Compatible transport chain components
► Reliable chain connections
► Suitable for commercial transport applications
► Easy replacement of worn fittings
► Genuine Austlift quality
► Built for demanding Australian transport environments

Fleet operators maintaining larger restraint systems often combine Grade 70 fittings with Maxi Binders, creating heavy-duty restraint systems suitable for machinery, agricultural equipment & oversized loads.

Common Applications

Every transport task presents different restraint requirements. Grade 70 fittings help create adaptable restraint systems capable of securing a wide variety of loads.

Typical applications include:

► Machinery transport
► Agricultural equipment
► Excavators
► Skid steer loaders
► Shipping containers
► Steel transport
► Timber loads
► Construction materials
► Heavy trailers
► Commercial freight
► Utility vehicles
► Plant equipment

Businesses transporting equipment over long distances should also include routine inspection procedures within their maintenance programs to help identify worn transport components before they require replacement.

Product Selection Guide

Building a reliable transport chain assembly starts with selecting compatible components rather than purchasing individual parts in isolation.

Before selecting Grade 70 fittings, consider:

► Chain size compatibility
► Load restraint requirements
► Hook style
► Connection method
► Binder compatibility
► Wear resistance
► Replacement frequency
► Transport environment
► Inspection accessibility

Different fittings serve different purposes. Grab hooks are commonly used to shorten transport chain, while connecting links & hammerlocks help create complete restraint assemblies. Selecting matching components helps ensure consistent performance across the entire system.

Where higher restraint forces are required, operators may also consider Maxi Binders for heavy-duty chain tensioning applications.

Expert Tips

Replacing a single worn fitting can be far more cost-effective than replacing an entire restraint assembly. Regular inspections help identify wear before it affects the performance of your transport equipment.

► Inspect hooks for distortion or excessive wear.
► Check connecting links for elongation or damage.
► Replace damaged hammerlocks immediately.
► Ensure replacement fittings match the chain size.
► Keep restraint equipment clean to reduce premature wear.
