Leaf Chains

Leaf chains, also known as Fleyer chains or Flyer chains, are a special type of chain designed for lifting applications. They are standardized according to DIN 8152 and are available in both light and heavy-duty versions.

Leaf chains are made up of a series of pins, onto which plates are alternately assembled along the entire length in various combinations. The chain ends can be fitted with attachment plates for mounting or connecting to other components.
