These leaf chains correspond to the old American standard. Although this standard was withdrawn several years ago, the chains are still used occasionally. The applicable dimensions are according to DIN 8188.

Industries and applications

  • Forklift trucks
  • Lifting devices
  • Machine tools
  • Steelmaking industry
  • Container pallet jacks

ELITE leaf chains are used wherever loads must be lifted, hoisted or pulled and high fatigue strength is crucial to function and safety. The most common use of ELITE leaf chains is In forklift truck masts, but they are also used as counterbalance chains in machine tools, as draw bench chains or in container pallet jacks.

Unlike roller chains, leaf chains have very high fatigue strength values, since they consist only of pins and plates. High fatigue strength is gained at the expense of wear resistance, because leaf chains do not have the classic pin and bush bearings common to
other chains.

ELITE highlights:

  • ELITE chain plates with optimum geometry are precision formed
    and heat-treated. The tapered and shot-blasted chain
    plates also have particularly high contact ratios.
  • ELITE pins are smooth and have an extra hard surface for increased wear resistance.
