Drag chains

Reliable drag chains for long travels and heavy duty purposes

Maximize Durability and Efficiency with e-chain® Drag chains

e-chain® drag chains are designed for dynamic applications, offering a long service life of up to 10 million cycles. They are ideal for high-speed installations, reducing noise and maintenance needs. Available in various configurations, including Industry 4.0-ready options, these chains boost performance and reduce downtime.

E4.1 Energy Chains

The E4.1 energy chain is suitable for almost any application. Tested in our laboratory under extreme conditions, it impresses with its long service life, high stability, and modular system. Whether for heavy-duty use or travels over 800 meters, we guarantee absolute reliability.

E4/4HD Energy Chains

The E4/4HD provides the necessary stability in dirty environments or high humidity. 

Typical industries and applications: indoor cranes, composting plants, sewage plants...
