Chains For A Rotaspreader

[bobajob]

Currently re-furbing a used tandem fraser rotaspreader here, and a lot of chains are needing replaced. Has anybody got a contact for some chain? Just wondering if I could by 30- 40m of it cut it up and bolt the flails to the end?!
Any contact or website I could try. TIA

I used to go to our local crane hire firm. They had stacks of what they called scrap chain lying around.
Nothing other than it had failed the test for lifting

You need the hardest bolts you can get is it 12.8
Otherwise they will wear out quickly.
Ideally the chain should be hardened too

Thanks, yeah sounds like the used chain would be just the job . Not easy to find though.

How many links per chain do you require?

 

[bobajob]

13 links per chain, each chain approx 650mm length in total if I remember correctly

I have a full set for a marshall 105 rotaspreader here that are for sale as I no longer have the machine, whether they'll fit or can be made fit I don't know. Maybe they'll be of use to you. Obviously they'll be cheap
