AL 444 leaf chains for forklifts and material handling

Introduction

Emerging as the pioneer series of ANSI leaf chains, AL Series leaf chains are manufactured as per the ANSI leaf chain specification dimensions. Today, these chains are widely adopted in numerous lifting applications, thanks to their high-strength, space-saving lifting design. Our selection of leaf chains outshines others owing to their high-strength hardened pins, heat-treated plates, and shot-peened components, all of which contribute to a robust and reliable performance.
