HISTORY
    When you use Portalloy® chain, you're using the ORIGINAL welded steel chain.  Manufactured for over 50 years by the Portland Chain Manufacturing Company, Portalloy® chain is produced from a medium carbon manganese steel rolled to closely controlled specifications.  The chain pins are made of cold drawn steel which resists wear and corrosion.  Portalloy® link components are joined and precision gas metal arc welded.  This tightly controlled manufacturing process yields chain proven for strength and durability.

Portalloy® chain was developed in 1938 for use in the woodyards and sawmills of the timber industry, but because of its toughness and versatility, Portalloy® can be found in use in a variety of industries such as car washes, cement plants and many types of commodity processing facilities throughout the world.

Portland Chain Manufacturing is now part of the century-old Webster Industries, manufacturers of all types of engineering or heavy-haul transfer chain and attachments.  Webster can readily supply Portalloy® products with production or distribution from three plant facilities and operates its own malleable iron casting foundry.
