Chain for Forklifts

Forklift Chain - The life of lift chains on lift trucks could be extended significantly with proper maintenance and care. For example, correct lubrication is the most effective method so as to prolong the service capability of this particular part. It is essential to apply oil every so often making use of a brush or whichever lube application tool. The frequency and volume of oil application needs to be enough so as to prevent 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 situation has happened, it is very essential to lubricate the lift chains as soon as possible.

It is typical for several metal to metal contact to occur throughout lift chain operation. This could lead to components to wear out sooner or later. The industry standard considers a lift chain to be worn out when three percent elongation has happened. To be able to prevent the scary chance of a catastrophic lift chain failure from happening, the manufacturer highly suggests that the lift chain be replaced before it reaches 3% elongation. The lift chain gets longer due to progressive joint wear which elongates the chain pitch. This elongation could be measured by placing a certain number of pitches under tension.

To be able to ensure good lift chain maintenance, one more factor to consider is to check the clevis pins on the lift chain for signs of wearing. Lift chains are put together so that the clevis pins have their tapered faces lined up with each other. Usually, rotation of the clevis pins is frequently caused by shock loading. Shock loading happens 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 correct lubrication, in this case, the pins can rotate in the chain's link. If this particular situation happens, the lift chains need to be replaced right away. It is imperative to always replace the lift chains in pairs to ensure even wear.
