Don’t be tempted to purchase the cheapest chain only to have it fail at a critical time in your production cycle.

Our chains offer the following features as standard. We don’t charge you extra for this bump in quality.

Quality and performance are built-in from the factory!

✅ Solid Rollers. This allows for smooth rotation on the bushing, minimising the impact load as the chain engages the sprocket tooth.

✅ Heat Treatment. This ensures consistent quality in all chain components resulting in optimum toughness and wear resistance.

✅ Pre-Lubricated. Hot dipped in special lubricant ensuring all load bearing surfaces are protected increasing wear life of the chain.

✅ Shot Peened Parts. ​All chain rollers and link plates are shot-peened for greater fatigue strength.

✅ Waited Link Plates. ​Reduces bending stress of the link plate increasing fatigue strength.

✅ Factory Preloading. Preloaded during assembly, minimising initial elongation of the chain.
