Leaf chains

Leaf chains are optimised for lifting and hoisting applications. They offer high breaking strength and are designed for cyclic loads, making them ideal for use in forklift trucks, lifting devices and goods lifts.

MOVET Leaf Chains โ€“ High Strength Steel Chains for Lifting and Hoisting Applications

Leaf chains are specially designed for lifting and hoisting applications, offering high breaking strength and exceptional resistance to cyclic loads. Built from high-quality steel and manufactured to precise tolerances, MOVET leaf chains are the ideal choice for demanding applications such as forklift trucks, lifting devices, and goods lifts. Their robust construction ensures reliable performance even in the most challenging industrial environments.

Optimised for Lifting and Hoisting

Unlike standard roller chains, leaf chains are specifically engineered for repeated lifting and lowering cycles. Their unique plate link design, without rollers, provides a larger bearing surface area and greater strength. This makes them the preferred solution for vertical lifting systems, counterweight mechanisms, and heavy-duty material handling equipment.

High Breaking Strength for Maximum Safety

MOVET steel leaf chains are designed with a focus on safety and reliability. The high breaking strength ensures that even heavy loads can be lifted securely without compromising the integrity of the chain. This is particularly critical in applications where downtime or chain failure is not an option, such as warehouse logistics, production lines, and automated lifting systems.

Material: High-Quality Steel

Each MOVET leaf chain is made from high-grade alloy steel, chosen for its exceptional strength, wear resistance, and durability. The material undergoes precise heat treatment processes to optimise hardness and fatigue resistance, resulting in long service life under continuous load conditions.

Pitch Options for Different Applications

<p>MOVET offers <strong>leaf chains</strong> in a range of <strong>pitch sizes</strong> to suit different lifting and hoisting requirements:</p> <ul> <li> <p><strong>12.70 mm</strong></p> </li> <li> <p><strong>19.05 mm</strong></p> </li> <li> <p><strong>25.40 mm</strong></p> </li> <li> <p><strong>31.75 mm</strong></p> </li> </ul> <p>These options allow engineers to select the optimal chain for specific load capacities, lift heights, and sheave or sprocket compatibility.</p>
