AL 566 leaf chains for forklifts and material handling

The AL Series leaf chains are industry-leading products manufactured as per ANSI leaf chain specification dimensions. These chains are known for their "lighter" duty performance but are no less robust or reliable than their counterparts. They were the first series of ANSI leaf chains and are still widely used today, thanks to their high-strength, space-saving design.

Product Features and Advantages

What sets our AL leaf chains apart from others is 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. Whether you need them in 10ft boxes, 50ft reels, 100ft reels, or custom lengths, we??ve got you covered.
