Chain & Wire

At K&S McKenzie we are proud to be 'more than just a motor factor' and our chain and wire offering is one of the services that affords us this name as it isn’t something you usually find in a motor factor.

Having been introduced to the chain market over 20 years ago, this side of our business has grown and grown to where it is today.

We stock a large selection of chain and chain components and can make lifting and lashing chains from stock while you wait.

All lifting and lashing equipment sold is recorded, test certificates are issued, and customers are notified just before their 6-month inspection is due. We have qualified personnel in-house to carry out inspections and for large amounts of testing, we offer testing at your site to ensure minimum disruption to your business.

Certification is managed in our user-friendly certification portal – click here to log in.

We stock manual chain lifting equipment, hoists, chain blocks, and more, and if there are any items not in stock, we are able to get these sourced and built within 48 hours.

We carry two different sizes of ratchet dwangs for use with lashing chains and these can be supplied with a test certificate if required. We also have a large selection of dee and bow shackles available from 1 ton to 25 ton capacity, along with various other lifting eyes.

If your business is within a 120-mile radius of Carlisle, we offer a collection and delivery service at no extra charge for new chains and tested chains – this service is normally completed within 3 working days.
