Wippermann Leaf Chains

Leaf chains are standardized according to ISO 4347. They are used as load chains in cranes, hoisting gear, lifting equipment, and for holding counterweights and transmitting back-and-forth movements under load.

Standards distinguish between the leaf chain type series LL, which is based on chain components according to roller chain standard ISO 606 type B (European type), and the type series LH (also BL), based on chain components according to standard ISO 606 type series A (American type).

Leaf chains are constructed as plate chains and work without a meshing sprocket due to their particular design. The combination of plates (outer plates x inner plates) is variable and selected according to the load. Inner and outer links at the chain end ensure a simple fixing of leaf chains to respective acceptance devices.

We recommend the heavy-duty leaf chain type U for exceptionally high loads according to work standards.
