Forestry and Towing Chains – Guide for Professional Use

Understanding chain strength grades

Labels like G80 and G100 indicate the strength grade of the steel, where G100 can handle up to 25% more load than standard G80 chain. For professional forestry work and hauling heavier logs, a chain like Lanac za šumu G100 8mm - 50m - 2T TOHO provides greater safety and durability. Never use a chain that isn't certified for your intended load capacity.

Thickness and length – matching your needs

Chains of 6mm are sufficient for lighter tasks and small forestry tractors, while 8-10mm chains handle extreme loads when hauling hardwood or large-dimension timber. A 50-meter length provides flexibility – you can cut exactly as much as you need for a specific operation. Brands like TOHO and OREGON offer a wide range of dimensions.

Double-linked vs single-link construction

The 2T designation (double-linked) means each link checks the adjacent one, drastically reducing the risk of breakage under load. For forestry operations where safety is paramount, always choose 2T construction. Cheaper single-chain models are only suitable for light binding and securing tasks.

Maintenance and pre-use inspection

Before each use, visually inspect the chain for cracks, deformations or worn links. Chains exposed to rain should be lubricated against rust – use oil or specialized anti-corrosion products. Never overload the chain and avoid sudden jerking when towing – gradual tension increase will extend the chain's service life and prevent accidents.
