An Unrivalled Manufacturing History
The birth of British chain manufacturing coincides with registration of the first chain patent by
Philip White in 1634 and there is evidence the Timmington, Griffin and Woodhouse families
have been involved in chain making since the 18th century.
In 1790 J Wood Aston founded his firm making chain in Cradley Heath, which was subsequently
bought by William Griffin in 1893. William Griffin & Sons was later registered as a limited
company in 1915 as the business flourished during the First World War, employing over 200
people.
In 1860 Emmanuel Woodhouse similarly founded a firm making chain in Cradley Heath. The
1881 English Census details him as a 60 year old chain maker employing four men and two
boys. Woodhouse Bros. subsequently prospered under sons Caleb and Albert, eventually
employing over sixty chain makers manufacturing a range of sizes from 5 to 50mm diameter.
In 1942 Woodhouse Bros. joined forces with William Griffin & Sons during the Second World
War to manufacture the unique ‘Integral Stud Link Chain’ invented by John Timmington. Griffin-
Woodhouse Chain Cables Ltd. was registered in 1944 and later re-registered as Griffin-
Woodhouse Ltd. in 1965.
Many Patents have been granted and Trade Marks registered by the various companies
throughout the years. The current company logo includes the GWEC™, which was originally
registered in 1947.
In 1961 the business expanded further through purchase of local shackle manufacturer G &
H.C. Hackett Bros. and in 1968 an extensive refurbishment of the current Woods Lane site was
undertaken.
Having served the British market exclusively Griffin-Woodhouse Ltd. set about developing a global
presence in 1972 and today exports to over 50 countries world-wide. Local support is the
foundation of our global business. We have therefore spent considerable time and effort
developing agents with the knowledge, experience and ability to support both our clients and us.
In 1988 Griffin-Woodhouse Ltd. was acquired in its entirety by the Timmington family and
remains a private family business to-date.

Quality Assurance
Long before the introduction of recognised Quality Standards Griffin-Woodhouse Ltd. has
employed a robust Quality Management System (QMS). More recently the company has
chosen to establish and maintain a QMS in accordance with the requirements of BS EN ISO
9001:2008. Regular assessment is carried out under Management Review to ensure continuing
suitability, effectiveness, on-going improvement and integrity. This includes a review of the
company’s Quality Policy and associated Quality Objectives, which are communicated and
understood throughout the organisation.
Lloyds Register of Quality Assurance (LRQA) approves Griffin-Woodhouse Ltd. for manufacture
to ISO 9001:2008. Furthermore, Lloyds Register of Shipping approves Griffin-Woodhouse for
Proving of Class items.
All products supplied by Griffin-Woodhouse Ltd. are certified by our QMS as standard and, if
necessary, independently surveyed and certified by any member of the International Association
Classification Societies (IACS) including -
1 Lloyds Register of Shipping
1 American Bureau of Shipping
1 Det Norske Veritas

Bridle Assemblies(Product Code STDR - 3070)
Bridle Assemblies, intended to secure SPM topside mooring lines, are typically located at the
Catenary Anchor Leg Mooring (CALM) Buoy end. Available in a range of configurations to suit
single or tandem arrangements or otherwise in the following standard sizes -
1 SWL - 1000kN
1 SWL - 3000kN
1 SWL - 3750kN
1 SWL - 4000kN
Bespoke arrangements, designed to suit individual terminal operations, are subject to 3D
modelling & Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to verify loading capabilities, operational suitability
and component fit. Special coating systems also available.

Heavy Duty Rope Shackles(Product Code STDR - 3030)
Intended to connect a Mooring Hawser (via thimble) to the end link of an Anti-Chafing Chain or
Bridle Assembly, the HD Rope Shackle is manufactured from alloy material with a standard
safety factor 5:1. Double nut arrangement safeguards against accidental release, which is
further prevented by securing bolt assemblies. Bodies are supplied either galvanised or painted.

Weak Link Connectors(Product Code STDR - 3060)
OCIMF Recommendations for Equipment Employed in Bow Mooring of Conventional Tankers
at SPM, 4th Edition, 2007, suggests that terminal operators ‘....positively protect from mooring
loads in excess of the minimum yield load through the application of weak links’.
The GWEC™ ‘Weak Link Connector’ is designed specifically to satisfy this requirement.
Intended to fit between end link of Shuttle Tanker Anti-Chafing Chain and HD Wide Body Rope
Shackle it addresses the need that (they) ‘....should be sited to prevent hawser whiplash…’
Shear pins are subject to Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to accurately model required breaking
loads prior to IACS independent verification of actual breaking trials within strict failure criteria
(+/-5%). Components are assembled in such a way and machined to extremely fine tolerances
so that load transfer is accurately maintained and controlled.
So far as we know Griffin-Woodhouse Ltd. is the only manufacturer currently offering an
independently approved ‘Weak Link System’.

Camlock Couplings(Product Code STDR - 3112)
Making and breaking hose and loading arm connections conventionally can be hazardous and
time-consuming however, by employment of a Camlock Coupling flanges are brought together
and automatically positioned within the cam blocks, taking seconds to lock each cam.
Disconnection is similarly swift and hazard-free.
A permanently positioned ‘O’ ring face seal forms a dependable, leak-proof connection and
prevents injury. The design makes it impossible to loosen during normal operating conditions
when there is pressure in the line. A round steel bar, or optional special locking wrench, is the
only tool needed to lock, tighten or release the cams.
All existing flange or pipe arrangements will accept a Camlock Coupling. The range includes -
1 Short Spool (Product Code STDR - 3112 - 1)
1 Studded (Product Code STDR - 3112 - 2)
1 Slip-On (Product Code STDR - 3112 - 3)
1 Weld Neck (Product Code STDR - 3112 - 4)
Materials include nickel plated & painted carbon steel or stainless steel, although other more
exotic materials can be supplied to special order. A wide variety of seals are also available to
suit the product in transfer. Other options include cam guards, lifting lugs and special paint
finishes. The standard Camlock Coupling is suitable for Class 150 ANSI flanges, although Class
300 ANSI, DIN and other flange types are available.
Standard and Lightweight Blind Flanges are available in either aluminium or galvanised steel
to prevent seawater ingress and provide protection when not in use. For further information
please refer to our Blind Flanges data sheet.
(Product Code STDR - 3112 - 1)

Blind Flanges
Blind Flanges (STDR - 3113) are manufactured from galvanised steel and suitable for Class
150 ANSI, although Class 300 ANSI, DIN and other flange types are available including a
lightweight version (STDR - 3114). Lightweight Blanking Flanges to suit Camlock Couplings
are available in galvanised steel (STDR - 3112 - 5) or aluminium (STDR - 3112 - 6) to prevent
seawater ingress and provide protection when not in use.
