D-STYLE CAT CHAINS - Standard caterpillar drive chains often flex backwards in higher chain pull applications, which results in premature wear on the pressure rollers. Our upgraded “D-Style” caterpillar drive chain prevents the backward flexing motion. This upgraded design will provide a much longer life of the rollers.
