Forklift Chain

Chains for Forklift - The life of lift chains on lift trucks can be extended greatly with correct care and maintenance. For example, correct lubrication is actually the most effectual way so as to prolong the service capability of this component. It is really vital to apply oil periodically utilizing a brush or whatever lube application device. The frequency and volume of oil application should be adequate in order to stop whatever rust discoloration of oil within the joints. This reddish brown discoloration generally signals that the lift chains have not been properly lubricated. If this particular condition has happened, it is extremely important to lubricate the lift chains at once.

It is normal for a few metal to metal contact to occur through lift chain operation. This can lead to parts to wear out eventually. The industry standard considers a lift chain to be worn out when 3 percent elongation has happened. So as to stop the scary possibility of a catastrophic lift chain failure from taking place, the maker very much suggests that the lift chain be replaced before it reaches three percent elongation. The lift chain gets longer because of progressive joint wear that elongates the chain pitch. This elongation can be measured by placing a certain number of pitches under tension.

One more factor to ensuring proper lift chain maintenance is to check the clevis pins on the lift chain for indications of wear and tear. The lift chains have been put together so that the tapered faces of the clevis pin are lined up. Generally, rotation of the clevis pins is commonly caused by shock loading. Shock loading occurs if the chain is loose and then suddenly a load is applied. This causes the chain to experience a shock as it 'snaps' under the load tension. With no proper lubrication, in this situation, the pins could rotate in the chain's link. If this situation happens, the lift chains must be replaced right away. It is essential to always replace the lift chains in pairs to ensure even wear.
