・The attachment hole of an A attachment is the point where the allowable vertical load acts on the attachment.

・K attachments have double the values shown for A attachments.

・Contact us for other types of attachments.

Allowable Attachment Load

Make sure that the load applied to roller and attachment is below the values in the tables above.
If it exceeds this value, change to a chain size that can tolerate the load and proceed to the actual selection.
