TL65 Steel Drag Chain – Heavy-Duty Cable Carrier
The TL65 steel drag chain is an engineered cable track solution crafted for severe industrial environments where plastic carriers fail. Featuring a 65mm pitch, an inner height of 25mm, an outer height of 44mm, and customizable inner widths ranging from 25mm to 300mm, this open-bridge cable carrier provides high torsional rigidity, heat resistance, and long-service reliability for moving cables and hydraulic lines.

Versatile Structural & Crossbeam Design Options
The standard TL65 steel drag chain features a traditional C-frame bridge design where crossbeams are installed at every two pitches. This configuration offers superior ventilation, easy maintenance access, and optimized weight management. For demanding applications requiring extra load capacity or maximum cable stability, we offer several specialized build configurations:
1. Standard & High-Density Reinforced Pitch Layouts
Our standard configuration features crossbeams mounted on every second pitch, offering an optimal balance of structural strength, smooth movement, and high cost-performance. For applications with wider spans or heavy cable loads, we also offer customized high-density configurations where crossbeams are installed on every single pitch to significantly enhance chain rigidity, prevent crossbeam deflection, and reduce localized cable wear during continuous high-speed operation.
2. Multiple Crossbeam Styles for Tailored Cable Protection
- Standard C-Frame Aluminum Bars: Light, strong, and highly versatile for standard industrial cabling.
- Stainless Steel Round Rods: Smooth cylindrical profile minimizes friction, making it ideal for delicate rubber hoses and soft-sheathed cables.
- Integrated Perforated Plates: Machined aluminum plates with individual hole patterns keep each line separate, eliminating friction between adjacent cables.
- Split I-Beam Plates with Rubber Rings: Features top-and-bottom split aluminum stay plates lined with cushioned rubber rings to dampen vibration and protect high-pressure hydraulic lines from mechanical abrasion.
Key Advantages & Custom OEM/ODM Solutions
- Flexible Material Options: Available in Stainless Steel (201, 304, 316), Hot-Dip Galvanized, and Electro-Galvanized steel to perfectly balance cost and corrosion resistance based on working environments.
- Exceptional Temperature Tolerance: Operates reliably in extreme high-heat conditions where synthetic nylon carriers would soften or degrade.
- Full OEM & ODM Capabilities: We offer comprehensive tailor-made design services, including custom widths, non-standard bending radii, personalized surface treatments, and specialized mounting interfaces to match exact equipment specs.
