Chains for Forklift

Chain for Forklifts - The life of the lift truck lift chains can be prolonged with good care and maintenance. Lubricating correctly is a great method to be able to prolong the capability of this lift truck part. It is essential to apply oil every so often making use of a brush or other lube application device. The frequency and volume of oil application has to be sufficient to be able to prevent any rust discoloration of oil in the joints. This reddish brown discoloration usually signals that the lift chains have not been properly lubricated. If this particular situation has happened, it is really essential to lubricate the lift chains right away.

During lift chain operation it is normal for some metal to metal contact to occur which can cause a few components to wear out eventually. As soon as there is 3% elongation on the lift chain, it is considered by industry standards to have worn out the chain. In order to avoid the scary possibility of a disastrous lift chain failure from occurring, the maker very much recommends that the lift chain be replaced before it reaches 3 percent elongation. The lift chain lengthens because of progressive joint wear that elongates the chain pitch. This elongation could 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 signs of wear and tear. The lift chains have been assembled so that the tapered faces of the clevis pin are lined up. 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 go through a shock as it 'snaps' under the load tension. Without the good lubrication, in this situation, the pins could rotate in the chain's link. If this scenario takes place, the lift chains must be replaced immediately. It is essential to always replace the lift chains in pairs to ensure even wear.
