Leaf chains are famous with engineers for their strength in material handling such as with forklifts, lift trucks, lift masts, straddle carriers, and other major works of civil engineering.
The chains long service life, high fatigue strength, and maximum wear resistance make them the ideal solution for long-term projects that need to be both reliable and incredibly strong.
The chain consists solely of interlaced link plates and pins, lacking the rollers or bushings of a standard roller chain, and runs over smooth pulleys rather than sprockets. Power-Link Catalog
