Forage Wagon Apron Chain
Forge wagons have been around since 1891 when they were invented in Canada by William J. Conroy. However, the style of forge wagons we know and use today was invented in 1956 and used a steel or cast detachable chain for their operation. Since then forge wagon chains have been retrofitted with 600-series pintle chains, and T-Bat/ T-Rod chains. At USA Roller Chain and sprockets we stock American steel pintle chains, steel detachable chains, as well as the standard T-Bar and T-Rod chains.
Pintle Forge Wagon Chains
Our steel pintle chains are manufactured using heat-treated components and feature an open barrel design for smooth operation. It also utilizes quad-staked pins for added durability and sideloads capabilities.
