Forklift Leaf Chain Wear Gauge – 2% Wear Limit Ruler

Forklift Leaf Chain Wear Gauge – 2% Wear Limit Ruler

Condition: New

Keep your forklift operating safely and efficiently with this precision-engineered Leaf Chain Wear Gauge. Designed to measure chain elongation caused by pin and plate wear, this ruler gives you a fast, accurate reading against the industry-standard 2% wear limit specification — the point at which a leaf chain must be replaced to prevent failure.

Key Features

• Measures wear elongation on all forklift leaf chain types (AL, BL, and equivalent series)
• Calibrated to the 2% wear limit per ISO 4347 / ASME B29.8 standards
• Compact, durable construction — built for workshop and field use
• Easy to read — simply lay the gauge against the chain and compare
• Lightweight and portable — fits in a tool belt or service kit

How to Use

Place the wear ruler along the chain pitch as shown in the product image. If the chain has elongated beyond the 2% mark, the chain must be replaced immediately. Regular inspection using this gauge helps prevent unexpected downtime and costly load-chain failures.

Suitable For

• All forklift leaf chain types and pitch sizes
• Forklift technicians, fleet managers, and maintenance teams
• Routine safety inspections and scheduled preventive maintenance

Why Regular Chain Inspection Matters

Worn leaf chains are a leading cause of forklift mast failures. A chain that has reached or exceeded the 2% wear limit has significantly reduced load capacity and is a serious safety hazard. This gauge takes the guesswork out of inspection — giving you a clear, objective measurement every time.

Add this essential forklift maintenance tool to your kit today and stay ahead of chain wear before it becomes a safety issue.
