Heavy load transporter
Rugged energy chains are technically and economically the first choice in the construction of an extendable heavy load transporter.
* Guaranteed for 36 months or 10 million double strokes (up to 5 million double strokes for cables in the chainflex® M family). Whichever comes first. The number of double strokes depends on the type of installation and cable quality. This is described in the current catalog, in the data sheets and in the service life calculator.
