Thanks,
I ordered one...

As for the chain wear gauge, the Total Source p/n is SYNC1 in the TVH site, about $5.00
the first pin is zero
always measure the chain just in front of the pulley that does the most work
any forklift parts supply will sell a generic chain wear scale about $15
the spec is 3 percent wear must be replaced
you're absoultly correct, i did not answer your question.
i did check my cat manual and on standard lift chains BL40 they say measure a 20 link span and the measurement for new chain is 381mm and the maximum wear stretch should not exceed 392mm so it should not exceed 10mm stretch, if it does then replace the chains.
Of course the size of the chain does matter in measurements and they all vary to some degree but most of them i've checked run around 10 to 15mm maximum stretch before they are considered replaceable.
Hope that answers your question :o)
Swoop,
thanks for your reply.
There's no dealer in my country.
I used to work for one, but it lost Crown dealership.
Now I have my own company I try to fix these leftovers. ;-)
I could buy a tool,
but that doesn't answer my question right?...
Regards!
there are tools available on the market to check for chain wear.
check with any dealer in your area and ask them about a chain wear guage. they should be able to fix you up ;o)
good luck
