FB Chain can now supply replacement chain for the range of 20-50 tonne capacity forklift trucks manufactured by heavy truck specialist Kalmar. The chain – which has a breaking load of up to 120 tonnes and weighs as much as 30kg per metre – is supplied cut to length and is available for next day delivery in the UK.
“When the chain is to be used on a forklift that is carrying up to 50 tonnes, safety becomes an even higher priority,” says Peter Church, MD of FB Chain. “To ensure the safety of our products we use high quality materials, press tooling and heat treatment techniques as well as corrosion resistant coatings and lubrication in the production process.”
Kalmar supplies cargo handling equipment to ports, terminals and intermodal facilities. It also supplies a range of machines for applications as diverse as handling steel and paper to shunting road trailers at distribution hubs.
Church says: “In the applications where Kalmar’s heavy duty trucks operate, downtime caused by the need to replace a dangerously worn chain can be extremely expensive. Our ability to offer next day delivery is therefore likely to appeal to lift truck dealers and truck operators alike.”
