Ashley Chains is one of the UK's most established chain suppliers, with over 90 years of expertise supplying welded steel chain to trade, industrial, agricultural, marine, and general commercial customers. As part of the English Chain group - trading since 1923 - we hold the depth of stock and technical knowledge you'd expect from a specialist UK chain supplier, with next working-day delivery available on the vast majority of our range.
This collection brings together 85 products spanning our full welded chain offering. Whether you need standard steel chain for everyday securing and general-purpose use, or a specific finish, gauge, or grade for a more demanding application, you'll find it here. Our welded steel chains are manufactured with fully closed, fused links - giving them the tensile strength and structural integrity that distinguishes them from twisted or open-link alternatives. Every link is welded, not simply formed, which makes them the correct choice wherever load-bearing reliability or security is a genuine requirement.
Finishes and Grades to Suit Every Application
As a metal chain supplier serving customers across a wide range of sectors, we stock welded chain in multiple finishes to suit different environments and performance needs. Zinc plated and hot galvanised steel chains offer strong corrosion resistance for outdoor and agricultural use. Epoxy coated and japanned black steel chains provide a cleaner finish for display, barrier, and decorative applications. Unfinished steel chain is available where further treatment, powder coating, or painting is planned.
The range extends beyond standard link chain to include shortlink steel chains for tighter pitch requirements, diamond spiked chains where a visual deterrent is needed, and brass plated steel welded chain where a warmer finish is required without sacrificing the strength of the steel core.
Matching Steel Accessories in Stock
Buying steel chains without the right fittings wastes time. That's why we stock a comprehensive set of matching accessories alongside every product - quick links, dee shackles, carbine hooks, ess hooks, rings and hooks on plate, and more - all available in finishes that coordinate with the chain, so your project goes together cleanly from a single supplier.
