When Forklift Chain Replacement is Necessary

Most forklifts depend on hydraulic pressure to raise their lift cylinders to hoist the mast up. Forklift chains are necessary to move the fork and carriage of your forklift. If your chain is worn, your forklift operators are at serious risk for injury. The service recommendations of most manufacturers are to perform maintenance checks on the chains every 500 hours or three months of service, whichever occurs first. Chain lubrication is also essential to perform every 1000 hours of operation.

Failing to perform periodic forklift chain replacements can cause significant downtime in your warehouse. Don’t delay making necessary updates to your forklift. At Intella Parts, our forklift chains feature:

• Steel link plates that can tolerate heavy loads and are resistant to breakage.
• Bearing pins crafted from unique steel that is extremely resistant to bending and can increase chain lifespan.
• Pinhole diameters and chain pitch accuracy that are precisely monitored during manufacturing to ensure reliable performance.
