Largest ever chain gauge order from Jungheinrich Italiana 22 December 2011

Materials handling equipment specialist Jungheinrich's Italian division - Jungheinrich Italiana Srl – has ordered more than 400 chain wear gauges from FB Chain, making it the company's biggest single order.

The gauges, which are used by forklift truck engineers to measure truck chains for signs of wear, allow chain elongation to be measured to within one quarter of one per cent.

Jungheinrich Italiana's Marco Venerdi points out that chain elongation is the most common cause of chain failure, so the ability to monitor it accurately is essential in making recommendations about replacement before the next examination.

Jungheinrich Italiana Srl will equip each of its field service engineers with the FB chain wear gauge, he says.

"We place a great deal of importance on safety and the chain wear gauges will help our field-based service engineers ensure that our clients' trucks are in perfect operating condition," states Venerdi.
