LOAD CHAIN

Product Description

 The Kito Load Chain is a genuine OEM replacement component designed for use in Kito CF Series manual chain hoists, using 6.3mm chain identified by SKU KCF063. The load chain is the primary load-bearing element of the chain 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 manual chain 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 6.3mm designation identifies the chain wire diameter specific to this CF Series configuration. The 6.3mm wire diameter and associated pitch are the correct OEM specifications for the applicable CF Series 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. Using a genuine Kito OEM load chain identified by SKU KCF063 ensures correct pitch, wire diameter, link geometry, and material grade for the applicable CF Series hoist, maintaining the full rated capacity and safe working load following chain replacement.

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. Confirm the applicable CF Series capacity rating for SKU KCF063 with your Kito distributor before ordering.
