A measure of wear
February 1st 2008 Complying with today's
stringent safety
requirements for fork lift
truck chains can be a
headache for health and
safety representatives.
A quick and easy-to-use
solution to this problem is
now available from
Chaintec, a supplier of offthe-
shelf and specialist
chain to the FLT
replacement market.
The company has used its
15 years of industry
experience to develop a
chain wear gauge that
enables health and safety
representatives to monitor
wear rates, co-ordinate
replacement schedules and
be alerted to potential
safety concerns before they
arise.
Chaintec's new chain wear
gauge measures more than
10 pitches and works with
chains supplied by the
company and by other
manufacturers. The gauge
accurately measures 2 and
3% wear on chain sizes from
1/2 to 21/2in pitch.
The device is a simple and
cost effective tool that
requires no special training
to use and avoids the need
for slide rules or complex
data conversion. |
