AL 522 leaf chains for forklifts and material handling

Introduction to AL 522 Leaf Chains

AL Series leaf chains are manufactured according to ANSI leaf chain specification dimensions. Known as the modern-day "lighter" duty of leaf chains, they were the first series of ANSI leaf chains around. They are still widely used in various lifting applications due to their space-saving and high-strength design.

Features and Benefits of AL 522 Leaf Chains

Our selection of leaf chains stands out due to the use of high-strength hardened pins, heat-treated plates, and shot-peened components. The chain is also factory pre-stressed to reduce initial install stretching, ensuring optimal performance and durability.

Technical Specifications

Typically, leaf chains are stocked in 10ft boxes, 50ft reels, and 100ft reels. We also supply cut-to-length and custom leaf chains. The table below shows our standard leaf chain sizes in each series (AL3 - AL21).
