HOIST LOAD CHAIN 10MM BLACK

Product Description

The Kito Load Chain is a genuine OEM replacement component designed for use in Kito lever hoists at the 3 Ton and 6 Ton capacity ratings using 10mm 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 10mm black finish designation identifies the chain wire diameter and surface treatment. The black finish is typically applied through a phosphate or similar surface treatment process that provides a base level of corrosion resistance and is consistent with Kito OEM specifications for this chain size and capacity class. Using a genuine Kito OEM load chain ensures correct pitch, wire diameter, link geometry, and material grade for the 3 Ton and 6 Ton lever hoist models that use 10mm chain, maintaining the full rated capacity and safe working load of the hoist 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.
