LOAD CHAIN 4.3MM

Product Description

 The Kito Load Chain is a genuine OEM replacement component designed for use in Kito LX Series lever hoists at the LX005 model configuration with a working load limit of 1,375 lbs, using 4.3mm chain. The load chain is the primary load-bearing element of the lever hoist, transmitting the full working load between the load sheave and the lower hook assembly during every lift cycle. Maintaining a load chain that is in sound condition and within the manufacturer's wear tolerances is one of the most critical aspects of hoist inspection and maintenance, as a worn, damaged, or elongated chain is a direct risk to the safety of the lift and the personnel working in the area.

The load chain on a lever hoist is subject to wear, elongation, corrosion, and mechanical damage over its service life through repeated loading cycles, shock loading, side loading, and exposure to harsh operating environments including moisture, chemicals, abrasives, and extreme temperatures. Kito specifies maximum allowable elongation limits for each chain size and capacity class, and chains that have reached or exceeded these limits must be replaced immediately regardless of visible condition. Additional conditions requiring immediate chain replacement include twisted or kinked links, cracked or deformed links, gouges or nicks in the link surface, corrosion pitting that reduces the cross-sectional area of the chain wire, and any link that does not articulate freely through the load sheave.

The 4.3mm designation identifies the chain wire diameter specific to the LX005 model configuration. The 4.3mm wire diameter and associated pitch are the correct OEM specifications for this hoist model, and using a chain of incorrect diameter or pitch will result in improper engagement with the load sheave, accelerated wear, and a compromised safe working load. The LX005 model designation and 1,375 lb working load limit confirm the specific capacity class within the Kito LX Series for which this chain is the correct OEM replacement.

Key Features: Genuine Kito OEM replacement load chain 4.3mm wire diameter Designed for Kito LX Series lever hoist - LX005 model Working load limit 1,375 lbs Alloy steel construction to OEM specifications Ensures correct pitch, link geometry, and material grade for LX005 load sheave engagement

Note: Load chain replacement must be performed by a qualified hoist technician. The hoist must be fully inspected, function tested, and load tested before returning to service following chain replacement. Never splice, repair, or modify a load chain. Always replace with genuine OEM chain of the correct grade, pitch, and diameter for the specific hoist model and capacity rating.
