Is your FLT chain marked correctly?
Leaf chain supplier, Chaintec, is warning companies with forklift trucks of the dangers of using chain that is not etched with full traceability information.
ISO4347:2004, the international quality standard for leaf chain, clevises and sheaves, clearly states that chain should be marked with the manufacturer’s name or brand plus the series and size code for identification ie BL6, AL5, LL12. A unique batch number which corresponds with the Test Certificate supplied with the chain should also be included.
Chain supplied by Chaintec comes with a unique manufacturer’s number etched onto the chain every metre.
