Quick answer: looped galvanized-steel aerial chains for chain acts and conditioning, with a Safe Working Load of 180 kg (396 lb) per chain — not per pair — a Minimum Breaking Strength of 1800 kg (3968 lb) per chain and a 10:1 safety factor. Two adjustable working lengths, supplied with two steel auto-locking carabiners. Rigging kit sold separately. Handcrafted in Alicante, Spain. €279–€299, free worldwide shipping.
What aerial chains are — and what they are not
Aerial chains as an apparatus are steel chains you perform on: you climb, wrap, invert and hold on them the way you would on straps, with a harder, colder contact and a completely different sound. They are rated like any other apparatus.
They are not the same thing as a daisy-chain rigging loop, which is a webbing loop used to adjust the height of a rig and which should only be used for low-load static applications. The two share a name and nothing else. If you came here looking for height-adjustment hardware, you want the rigging collection instead.

Why the per-chain rating matters
Two chains do not add up to a 360 kg limit. Load is rarely shared evenly, and a single-side hang or an inverted transition can put everything on one chain. Rig to the single-chain figure of 180 kg. The gap up to 1800 kg is the margin that absorbs shock loading, not headroom to use. See our guide to SWL, MBS and safety factors.
Care and inspection
Store dry. Galvanized steel resists corrosion but is not immune — dry the chains after a humid session and check for rust at the links. Inspect every link, both carabiners and the rigging above before each session, and retire anything showing deformation, cracking or deep corrosion. Steel does not fray as a warning the way textiles do; deformation is the signal.
Frequently asked questions
How much weight can aerial chains hold?
180 kg (396 lb) per chain, from a breaking strength of 1800 kg (3968 lb) at a 10:1 safety factor. The figure is per single chain because loading between two is rarely even.
Are aerial chains the same as daisy chains?
No. Aerial chains are a performance apparatus made of rated steel. Daisy chains are webbing loops used to adjust rigging height and are only suitable for low-load static use such as aerial yoga. The names collide; the equipment does not.
Do aerial chains hurt more than straps?
They are a harder contact. Steel does not compress the way velvet-covered webbing does, so most people start on straps or loops and move to chains once the wraps are familiar. Chains also carry more weight and make noise, which some acts use deliberately.
Is the rigging kit included?
No. The chains ship with two auto-locking carabiners; everything above that — anchor point, rigging plate, swivels, shackles — is separate. Our Universal Hanging Kit is rated to 360 kg and covers that part of the chain in one assembled unit.
Can I change the length later?
The working length is adjustable within the range you select. If you need something outside 2–3.5 m, contact us for a custom cut before ordering.
How long does delivery take?
3–5 business days to make, then 5–8 business days economy shipping, free worldwide. Returns within 14 days; custom lengths are excluded.
