Agricultural Equipment Chains

In general, agricultural machinery chains are linked components that work together to pull loads or transfer force. The following types are particularly useful in agricultural applications:

• Roller Chains: These chains consist of cylindrical rollers held together with side links; they reduce friction and transfer power to sprockets.
• Attachment Chains: These are roller chains with added components like brackets or tabs for specialized applications.
• Elevator Chains: These chains move materials vertically and often include attachments or buckets.
• Drag Chains: These pull or drag materials along a surface and typically have attached paddles or scrapers.
• Engineered Class Chains: These are heavy-duty chains built specifically for demanding, high-stress applications.

Although less common, we also supply leaf chains primarily for agricultural lift mechanisms and PIV chains for applications that require adjustable or variable speed.

We supply agricultural equipment chains for sectors that use highly specialized machinery for specific applications, which include:

• Fertilizer: Roller and drag chains in fertilizer spreaders, storage and handling systems, and blending and mixing equipment
• Cotton: Roller, engineered class, and leaf chains in cotton pickers and strippers, cotton gins, and cotton bale presses
• Peanut: Roller, elevator, and engineered class chains in peanut diggers and inverters, peanut combines, and peanut shellers
• Grain: Elevator, drag, and roller chains in grain elevators, grain augers, and grain dryers
• Dairy: Drag and roller chains in feed conveyors, manure handling systems, and milking parlors.

We can also work closely with manufacturers to source or fabricate specialized components when off-the-shelf options don’t meet your specifications.
