iwis solutions for lifting equipment and fork lifts

Nearly all businesses use fork lifts to guarantee an optimum in-house material flow. The applications concerned place big demands on the chains used. The vehicles are expected to work indoors, outdoors and in all weathers. We collaborate closely with our users to ensure that our chains are not only configured to do the job required, but also fulfil every safety requirement for your staff and your goods.

Unlike roller chains, leaf chains are composed only of pins and plates, resulting in extremely high breaking forces. Our leaf chains transport loads reliably, can be adapted to individual customer requirements and comply with the strict requirements of European Machine Directive 2006/42/EC. Some typical applications for leaf chains are forklift trucks, lifting gear,    container lift trucks, work platforms, toolmaking machinery and various steelmaking industry applications.
