LH / BL Series Leaf Chain – Trusted Industrial Strength for Heavy-Duty Lifting

High-Performance Leaf Chains for Forklifts and Material Handling

Here at Bolton Engineering Products Ltd, we are able to provide high-quality leaf chains (LH/BL series) that have been designed for superior strength and durability up to heavy load applications. Perfect for vertical lift and tension link action, our chains are popular among forklifts, cranes, hoists and materials handling equipment across the UK.

Constructed with precision-rolled link plates and hardened pins, every leaf chain provides smooth operation, minimum chain stretch and long service life in heavy industrial applications. If you are looking for an ordinary BL service, or even cut to length requirements BEP Ltd will provide reliable solutions to help your business keep on rolling.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is a leaf chain?

A leaf chain is a high-strength lifting chain made from stacked link plates and pins, designed to handle heavy tensile loads in vertical motion systems such as forklifts and hoists.

2. Where are leaf chains used?

They’re commonly used in forklifts, cranes, material-handling systems, and industrial lifting equipment due to their durability and compact design.

3. Is a 40 or 41 chain bigger?

A 40 chain is slightly larger and stronger than a 41 chain, featuring thicker plates and pins—ideal for heavier applications.

4. What’s the difference between a roller chain and a leaf chain?

A roller chain uses rollers to transmit rotational motion, while a leaf chain is built purely for lifting or tension-based motion, offering greater strength for vertical loads.
