ANSI AL Series Leaf Chain
AL Series leaf chains are manufactured in accordance with ANSI leaf chain specification dimensions and are considered to be the modern-day "lighter" duty of leaf chains. AL leaf chains were the first series of ANSI leaf chains around and are still utilized today in many lifting applications due to the space-saving high-strength lifting design and nature of this chain. What puts our selection of leaf chains in another class of their own is the utilization of high-strength hardened pins, heat-treated plates, and shot-peened components. The chain is also factory pre-stressed to reduce initial install stretching.
Typically leaf chains are stock in 10ft boxes, 50ft reels, and 100ft reels but we also supply cut to length and custom leaf chains. When ordering a cut to length strand please let your sales representative know if your leaf chain ends on inner or outer links per the below illustrations.
The below charts show our standard leaf chain sizes in each series (AL3 - AL16). For custom leaf chain or help identifying leaf chain contact us and we will be happy to assist you.
