Forklift Lift Chains
Leaf lift chains & anchors
Lift chains (leaf chains) raise the carriage in the mast and must be inspected for stretch and wear — a worn chain is a safety risk. ForkliftIQ supplies leaf chains and anchors for Heli, Hangcha, EP, Toyota, Linde, Jungheinrich, Hyster, Crown and other major brands.
Inspection & sizing
Leaf chains are sized by pitch and plate configuration (e.g. BL/AL series). Measure stretch over a set length; replace at the wear limit and always in pairs. Worn or cracked plates must be replaced immediately.
Parts grade — OEM, aftermarket & economy
| Grade | What it is | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| OEM / Genuine | Original manufacturer part number | Warranty & critical components |
| Branded Aftermarket | Reputable replacement brands (Curtis, EVE, etc.) | Best value + reliability |
| Economy / OE-equivalent | Cost-optimized equivalent | Budget & wear items |
Grades are indicative; we confirm the exact match against your part number or nameplate photo.

We cross-reference forklift leaf lift chains and anchors by OEM part number, voltage and forklift model. Send your brand, model, serial number and the number stamped on the old part (or a photo) and we confirm the correct replacement before quoting.
