TA Develops Light Weight Chain Tiedown For Navy Use

The chain tie-downs used to secure aircraft to the deck of an aircraft carrier are heavy – nearly 12 lbs each. To support Navy tempo and quality of life goals, Templeman Automation, in partnership with Peerless Chain Corporation of Winona, MN, has developed the LiteLinx tie-down design, which reduces weight by 52% while maintaining all performance specifications.
