Leaf Chain

BL444 leaf chain is manufactured to ANSI (American) standards and is a heavy-duty series of leaf chains. The most common applications for leaf chain is forklifts, material handling, and lifting applications that require a high-strength and heavy-duty chain. The standard BL444 leaf chain that we offer is manufactured using high-quality components (pins and plates) that have gone through special manufacturing processes to ensure strength and durability, more so than other leaf chains on the market. This BL444 chain has a 4X4 lacing and is supplied as 10ft boxes, reels (50ft - 250ft), and cut-to-length sections upon request.

BL444 Leaf Chain Size Chart:

1. Standard Series BL444 Chain Specifications:

Chain Size:	BL444 Chain
Pitch (P):	0.500"
Pin Diameter (d2):	0.200"
Plate thickness (S):	0.080"
Plate Height (g):	0.472"
Pin Length (L1):	0.764"
Chain Weight:	0.86 LBS/ Ft
Average Tensile Strength:	12,580 LBS

For customers needing something a little stronger, we also stock a premium (Premier Series) BL444 Leaf chain. The primary differences between the standard series and the Premier Series of leaf chains are that the premier series offers published working loads on most sizes, higher precision components, shot-peened plates, heat-treated plates, and pins, and it is the best quality leaf chain that we offer. One common misconception in the industry is that higher tensile strengths mean higher working loads; this is not always true when taking performance factors into consideration.

BL444 Leaf Chain (Hoisting Chain) Design Features:

The BL444 leaf chain is a heavy-duty chain that is designed for demanding applications. It has a number of features that contribute to its strength and durability, including:

1. 4x4 lacing: Each plate in the chain is linked to four other plates, which provides the chain with greater strength and durability.

2. Thick plates: The plates in the BL444 leaf chain are thicker than those in some other leaf chains, which makes the chain more resistant to wear and tear.

3. Large pin diameter: The pin diameter in the BL444 leaf chain is larger than that in some other leaf chains, which makes the chain more resistant to bending and breaking.

4. Heat-treated pins: The pins in the BL444 leaf chain are heat-treated, which makes them more resistant to wear and tear.

BL444 Leaf Chain (Hoisting Chain) Applications:

BL444 leaf chain, also known as a hoisting chain, is a heavy-duty chain commonly used for forklifts, material handling, and lifting applications requiring high-strength and heavy-duty chains. It comprises stacked plates and pins that provide high strength for various high-load applications.

Here are some of the most common applications for the BL444 leaf chain:

(1) Forklifts. BL444 leaf chain is the most common chain used for forklift trucks. It is used to lift and move heavy loads, such as pallets of goods, in warehouses and other industrial settings.

(2) Material handling. BL444 leaf chain is also used in material handling applications, such as conveyor belts and hoists. It is used to move heavy loads over long distances, and it is also used to lift and lower loads.

(3) Lifting. BL444 leaf chain is used in lifting applications, such as overhead cranes and gantry cranes. It is used to lift and lower heavy loads, and it is also used to balance loads.

(4) Counterweight. BL444 leaf chain is used as a counterweight in machine tools, elevator and oven doors, and spinning frames. It is used to balance the weight of the machine or object, and it is also used to provide stability.

BL444 Leaf Chain (Hoisting Chain) Accessories:

The BL444 leaf chain breaker is a tool used to break leaf chains. It is specifically designed for the BL444 series of leaf chains, which are a heavy-duty type of chain used in forklifts, material handling, and lifting applications. The BL444 chain breaker is made of high-quality tool steel and has a simple, easy-to-use design. It is manufactured in the UK and has gone through an extensive quality control process to ensure that it is consistent and extremely durable.

To use the BL444 leaf chain breaker, you first need to insert the chain into the tool. The leaf chain should be inserted so that the pins are facing the opening of the tool. Once the leaf chain is in place, you can use the handle of the tool to break the leaf chain. The tool will use a series of pins to force the chain apart. The BL444 leaf chain breaker is a valuable tool for anyone who works with leaf chains. It is a safe and effective way to break chains, and it can save you time and money.

The BL444 leaf chain connecting link is a type of chain link that is used to connect two pieces of leaf chain together. It is made of high-quality steel and has heat-treated pin and side plates to ensure maximum strength and durability. The BL444 chain connecting link is commonly used in forklifts, material handling, and lifting applications that require a heavy-duty leaf chain.
