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.

Wide Range of Products

The following series of iwis leaf chains are available: Series LL (F) lightweight design, in accordance with European standard ISO 4347 and DIN 8152); Series AL, lightweight design, in accordance with American standard, dimensions as per DIN 8188; Series LH (BL), reinforced design, to American standard and compliant with ISO 4347 and DIN 8152.

Special factory-standard versions of leaf chains are available, and various special end pieces and customer-specific attachments are feasible, such as chains with anchor plates and threaded inserts, chains with roller chain connector and special leaf chains with hose routings and hydraulic mast guards.
