Delfasco is our primary source for new rivetless chain components

When a shipment of new forgings arrives at Wilkie Bros., random samples are taken and tested for ultimate tensile strength.

The chain links; pins, center and side links are assembled typically in 10 foot lengths

Proof load Testing was developed by Wilkie to assure the integrity of the indiviual links.

All Wilkie chain is prood load tested.
