Chain for Forklift

Forklift Chain - The life of lift chains on forklifts can actually be extended completely with good care and maintenance. Like for example, right lubrication is actually the most effective method to be able to lengthen the service capability of this particular part. It is really vital to apply oil occasionally making use of a brush or other lube application device. The frequency and volume of oil application should be enough in order to prevent whatever rust discoloration of oil within the joints. This reddish brown discoloration usually signals that the lift chains have not been properly lubricated. If this condition has occurred, it is really imperative to lubricate the lift chains at once.

Throughout lift chain operation it is common for some metal to metal contact to happen which could cause a few components to wear out in due course. As soon as there is three percent elongation on the lift chain, it is considered by industry standards to have worn out the chain. In order 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 three percent elongation. The lift chain gets longer due to 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 proper lift chain maintenance is to check the clevis pins on the lift chain for indications of wear and tear. The lift chains have been put together so that the tapered faces of the clevis pin are lined up. Normally, rotation of the clevis pins is often caused by shock loading. Shock loading occurs if the chain is loose and then all of a sudden 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 situation, the pins could rotate in the chain's link. If this situation occurs, the lift chains have to be replaced right away. It is imperative to always replace the lift chains in pairs to ensure even wear.
