Leaf chains and multistrand chains
Leaf chains are engineered for heavy load applications, providing superior strength compared to precision roller chains. They are typically used in equipment such as forklifts, boom trucks, and freight elevators.
Composition and Construction
Leaf chains are composed of link plates and pins, with outer links that are press-fitted and riveted to prevent rotation. They are available in delta-tone and stainless steel for enhanced corrosion resistance.
General Cautions
- Avoid electroplating assembled chains to prevent hydrogen embrittlement.
- Do not attempt to repair damaged chains; replace them entirely.
- Avoid welding on chains or their components.
- Chains should not be annealed; if heated for removal, they should not be reused.
- Chain joining should be performed by the manufacturer.
- Use factory-assembled chain lengths; do not assemble from individual components.
Performance Highlights
- Optimized design provides higher fatigue and tensile strength.
- Enhanced wear resistance and minimal elongation ensure a long service life.
Industries and Applications
- Forklift trucks
- Lifting devices
- Machine tools
- Steelmaking industry
- Container pallet jacks
Services
- Availability of stock and specific product requests.
- Matched pairs for parallel chain operations.
- Technical assistance.
ISO Series Specifications
The document details various ISO series chains with specifications such as pitch, pin diameter, and tensile strength. Chains are categorized by material types: Carbon Steel (CS), Delta-Tone (DT), and Stainless Steel (SS).
Applications
Leaf chains are ideal for applications requiring high fatigue and wear resistance, with common configurations like 2x3, 3x4, and 4x6.

Leaf chains and multistrand chains Leaf chains are designed to handle heavy loads. Compared to precision roller chains, leaf chains have higher strength ratings suitable for high load and high impact environments. Widely used for lifting and hoisting purposes, leaf chains are often seen on equipment such as lift trucks, boom trucks, fork lifts, automobile parking towers, inter-modal container lifts and freight elevators. The composition of the leaf chains is simple. Leaf chains are composed of stacks of link plates and pins. The outer links are press-fitted to the pins. Pins are then riveted...
