iwis Leaf chains: Tough. Reliable. Strong

Product catalog summary

Overview: iwis leaf chains are designed for high load lifting applications and comply with the EC Machine Directive 2006/42/EC. They are known for their high breaking forces due to their construction of pins and link plates, without rollers.

Application Fields: These chains are used in forklift trucks, lifting gear, toolmaking machinery, the steel industry, container lift trucks, and work platforms.

Key Features:

High tensile strength link plates.
Pins with extra hardened surfaces for wear resistance.
Precision-formed, heat-treated, and shot-peened link plates.
Optimized plate thickness for higher breaking forces.
Improved press-fitting for higher fatigue strength.
Special versions available with different pear drops and anchor bolts.

Research and Development: iwis has over 15 years of experience in developing leaf chains, focusing on technology, materials, coatings, and geometry to enhance product characteristics. Chains are developed in collaboration with end users and are available from various production sites.

Customer Services: On request, iwis offers wear analysis, fatigue strength analysis, tensile load analysis, and technical assessments using in-house developed test stands and methods.

Compliance and Standards: iwis leaf chains comply with the EC Machine Directive 2006/42/EC and are available in different series:

Series LL [F]: Lightweight design, European standard (ISO 4347 and DIN 8152).
Series AL: Lightweight design, American standard (DIN 8188).
Series LH [BL]: Reinforced design, American standard (ISO 4347 and DIN 8152).
