Technical Specs

AL1688 Leaf Chain is manufactured to ANSI (American) standards and is apart of the AL Series of leaf chains. The most common applications for leaf chain is forklifts, material handling, and lifting applications that require a high strength and heavy duty chain. The standard AL1688 leaf chain that we offer is manufactured using high quality components (pins and plates) that have gone through special manufacturing processes to ensure strength and durability, more so than other leaf chains on the market. This chain has a 2X2 lacing and is supplied as 10ft boxes, reels (50ft - 250ft), and cut to length sections upon request.

Standard Series AL1688 Chain Specifications:
The standard series of leaf chains is also notably known as the General Duty Plus Series, it's made above and beyond most brands of leaf chain with proprietary manufacturing processes and features that include surface heat-treated components, shot peened components, and factory pre-loading to reduce initial stretch.
Tensile Strength: 214,090 LBS

Premier Series AL1688 Leaf Chain Specifications:
For customers needing something a little stronger, we also offer a premium (Premier Series) AL1688 Leaf chain. The primary differences between the standard series and the Premier Series of leaf chains is that the premier series utilizes the best steel alloys for leaf chain, has heat treated pins and plates, through hardened components, and utilizes even higher-precision components than standard. This series of chain also has shot peened components and has been factory pre-loaded, among additional proprietary manufacturing techniques to ensure the it's the highest quality leaf chain on the market.
