CHAIN STOPPER LINK FOR 1/4TON

Product Description

The Kito Chain Stopper Link is a genuine OEM replacement part designed for use in Kito LX Series lever hoists at the 1/4 Ton capacity rating. The chain stopper link is a critical safety component integrated into the load chain assembly, functioning as a mechanical end stop that prevents the load chain from running completely through the hoist body during lowering operations. By arresting chain travel at the lower limit of the hoist's rated lift range, the stopper link protects the internal chain guide, load sheave, and chain pocket from damage caused by chain run-through, and prevents the accidental release of the lower hook and attached load.

The chain stopper link is subject to wear and mechanical stress over its service life through repeated contact with the hoist body at the end of each lowering cycle. In high-cycle applications or hoists that have seen extended service, the stopper link should be inspected regularly for deformation, cracking, wear at the contact surfaces, and any signs of fatigue that could compromise its ability to arrest chain travel reliably. A damaged or missing chain stopper link must be replaced immediately, as operating a hoist without a functional stopper link creates a risk of chain run-through and uncontrolled load release.

Using a genuine Kito OEM Chain Stopper Link ensures the replacement component is dimensionally correct for the LX Series chain pitch and hoist body geometry at the 1/4 Ton capacity rating, and manufactured to the same material and performance specifications as the original part. Replacement should be performed by a qualified hoist technician, and the hoist must be function tested before returning to service.
