Distance plates manufactured by CICSA are made of C40 steel with calibrated, rounded holes, whose dimensions correspond to those of the chain shackles 745 or the chain shackles 5699. One of the main advantages of CICSA distance plates is that, in case of deformation of the bucket holes, shackle breaking can be avoided.
When it comes to the manufacturing quality, the 3H/3HS/3HX/S3/S4/C-Hard® type distance plates are drilled with higher precision tolerances.
