AL 534 leaf chains for forklifts and material handling

Introduction to AL Series Leaf Chains

AL Series leaf chains, the first series of ANSI leaf chains to hit the market, are still widely used today. Their space-saving high-strength design makes them ideal for a variety of lifting applications. Made to ANSI leaf chain specification dimensions, these chains are the modern-day "lighter" duty of leaf chains.

Features and Advantages of AL Leaf Chains

What sets our AL leaf chains apart is the use of high-strength hardened pins, heat-treated plates, and shot-peened components. These chains are also factory pre-stressed to reduce initial install stretching. Some of the key features and advantages include:

• Lightweight
• High strength
• Corrosion resistance
• Good electrical and thermal conductivity
• Easy maintenance
• Compact design

Product Specifications

Our leaf chains are typically stocked in 10ft boxes, 50ft reels, and 100ft reels. We also provide cut-to-length and custom leaf chains.
