Leaf Chain Product Range
Leaf Chain Standards
BL Standard – Heavy duty range of Leaf Chain specifically designed for lifting applications, especially forklift trucks, loading platforms and counterweight systems. Common sizes used are BL534, BL634 and BL834.
EL Standard – European standard leaf chain based on European Standard Roller Chain components.
AL Standard – American standard leaf chain based on American Standard Roller Chain components.
Individually Laced (FLC) – Older style chain more often used by UK based manufacturers for use in lifts and forklift trucks.The plates are in singles meaning the lacing combinations are different to standard chains i.e. 4×5, 5×6, 8×9 etc.
Non-Standard Leaf Chain – Specialist leaf chain including pipe wrench chain, to suit individual requirements.
Leaf Chain with Plastic Inserts
Leaf chain with plastic inserts is identified primarily by pitch rather than by a standard, as is the case with ordinary leaf chain. The addition of plastic inserts enables the unit to carry hydraulic hose and also provides added protection for the hydraulic RAM. This type of chain is most commonly used on Linde and Jungheinrich trucks.
