What is leaf chain? 

Leaf Chain is the most simple of steel chains, consisting only of link plates and pins. This chain generally has greater tensile strength than roller chains and runs over sheaves rather than sprockets. They are suitable for hanging, balancing or motion transmitting applications. Leaf chain is also called balance chain and cable chain.

Leaf chains are known for their durability and high tensile strength. They are primarily used in lift device applications such as forklifts, lift trucks, and lift masts. These hard working chains handle the lifting and balancing of heavy loads with the use of sheaves instead of sprockets for guidance. One of the primary differences with leaf chain compared to roller chain is that it only consists of a series of stacked plates and pins, providing superior lifting strength.

 
Safety is perhaps the most crucial element you must consider in your place of work when choosing the most suitable chain for your industrial needs. The chains of choice must meet the required standards of a regulatory body to ensure that your hanging and motion transmitting activities are not potential disasters waiting to happen. Their tensile strengths are also more significant.

 
Hengjiu leaf chains is fashioned with incredible craftsmanship. Each steel on a leaf chain is specially selected and heat-treated to meet the highest standards in the industry. As a result, our chains are the first choice regarding operations where strong but flexible linkage is required.
