AL/AN Series Leaf Chain

About

ANSI AL Series Leaf Chains – Strong & Trusted Load-Bearing Chains Discover the durability and precision of ANSI AL Series Leaf Chains, purpose-built for lifting and balancing applications. At Bolton Engineering Products Ltd, we offer a wide range of leaf chains, leaf chain assemblies, and matching leaf chain anchor bolts, trusted across industries for high-performance reliability. These chains consist solely of link plates and pins—no rollers—delivering exceptional tensile strength and compact design, making them a top choice for rugged applications. What Makes ANSI AL Series Leaf Chains Special? Light-duty yet robust: Designed for compact applications like forklifts, lift trucks, and elevator masts—balancing space constraints with high tensile capacity. Superior construction: Fabricated from hardened, shot-peened materials using ANSI G8 components, ensuring longevity and load consistency. Compact, efficient design: They run over sheaves rather than sprockets, enabling smoother, quieter motion transfer compared to roller chain applications. Key Benefits & Applications Lifting & balancing: Commonly used in forklift masts and hoist systems. Space-efficient operation: Ideal where compact drive systems are required. High tensile strength: A lightweight alternative to traditional roller chains. Custom assemblies available: Chain constructed as per application specifications with optional anchor bolt integration. Chain Numbering & Specifications ANSI AL chain sizing follows a structured system: the first digits indicate pitch (in 1/8"), while the latter digits represent plate counts. For example, AL322 translates to a ⅜" pitch with 2×2 link pattern. Our product range includes popular variants like AL322, AL544, AL666, and beyond—each offering defined tensile strength, plate thickness, and pin dimensions to match your engineering needs.
