Forklift Chain

Forklift Chain - The life of lift chains on forklifts can be lengthened completely with proper care and maintenance. For example, right lubrication is actually the most effective way in order to extend the service capability of this part. It is really vital to apply oil every so often using a brush or whatever lube application device. The volume and frequency of oil application should be adequate to be able to avoid whatever rust discoloration of oil in the joints. This reddish brown discoloration generally signals that the lift chains have not been correctly lubricated. If this condition has happened, it is very imperative to lubricate the lift chains as soon as possible.

It is common for some metal to metal contact to happen all through lift chain operation. This can result in components to wear out in time. The industry standard considers a lift chain to be worn out when 3 percent elongation has occurred. In order to prevent the scary chance of a catastrophic lift chain failure from occurring, the maker greatly suggests 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 can be measured by placing a certain number of pitches under tension.

Another factor to ensuring good lift chain maintenance is to check the clevis pins on the lift chain for indications 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 often caused by shock loading. Shock loading takes place when 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. Without the good lubrication, in this case, the pins could rotate in the chain's link. If this scenario happens, the lift chains need to be replaced at once. It is essential to always replace the lift chains in pairs to ensure even wear.
