US-based Carolina Handling has equipped each of its 200 mobile forklift field service technicians with professional chain wear gauges developed and manufactured in the UK by Letchworth-based FB Chain.
Chain wear gauges track chain wear at each service. If a chain is shown to have worn excessively it must be replaced.
Carolina Handling’s team of field service technicians is responsible for the maintenance of thousands of forklifts throughout North and South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and the central time zone of Florida.
“Our field service technicians were very positive about the FB Chain gauges,” says Richard Ellsworth Carolina Handling’s Quality Assurance representative.
“Excessively worn chains are lethal, so accurate measurement is vital,” says FB Chain’s Peter Church.
