LL/EL Series Leaf Chain

About

LL & EL Series Leaf Chains – High-Strength Leaf Chain for Lifting Applications Discover premium Leaf Chain solutions fit for safe, dependable and heavy duty lifting applications. LL and EL Leaf Chains Products for UK & International Delivery at Bolton Engineering. At Bolton Engineering we provide LL and EL range leaf chains that are built to last, strong and deliver accurate performance in tough industrial conditions. Used with leaf chain sprockets, these chains are designed for applications requiring great tensile strength and safety measures rather than high speed — a reliable choice in vertical lifting and load-holding systems. What Is a Leaf Chain? A leaf chain is a high-strength, roller-less chain constructed from interlaced steel plates and pins. Unlike roller chains, leaf chains are designed primarily for tensile load lifting rather than power transmission. They are most often used in: Forklift masts Hoists Cranes Elevators Lifting and counterweight systems LL vs EL Series Leaf Chains LL Series Leaf Chain Based on American (ANSI) standards Designed for heavy-duty lifting High tensile strength Common in forklifts and industrial lifting systems EL Series Leaf Chain Based on European (ISO/DIN) standards Optimized plate geometry for uniform load distribution Excellent fatigue resistance Widely used in material handling and lifting equipment Both series are engineered for safety-critical lifting applications. Key Benefits of LL & EL Leaf Chains Extremely high tensile strength Excellent resistance to shock loads Designed for vertical lifting and load holding Long service life under repeated stress Manufactured from hardened, high-quality steel Compatible with leaf chain sprockets Low stretch for precise load control These features make leaf chains essential in lifting systems where failure is not an option. Applications of Leaf Chains Our leaf chains are widely used across industries including: Forklift trucks Cranes and hoists Elevators and lifting pla
