Download our Digging Chain Selection Guide by Chain Size.
The Digging Chain Selection Guide is a very useful tool for your parts, sales, and service departments. Section One of this guide explains which teeth work well in various ground conditions. Moving forward you will find our smart part numbering system. There are basically five variables to a utility trencher chain, and American Chain identifies and designates these variables within our complete chain assembly part number. From chain tensile strength ratings to a glossary of terms you will find a wealth of information in the first section of the Digging Chain Selection Guide. Section Two is a fitment guidance section. This section offers information for all brands of equipment. It will show you by trencher model what boom length, chain pitch, digging width, and tooth configurations are available. You will also find a sprocket guidance chart that will assist you in choosing the correct sprockets for the proper chain and trencher model. Section Three is a legend for tooth placement terminology that will use throughout the rest of the Digging Chain Selection Guide. Sections Four through Thirteen include the complete schematics for every complete trencher chain assembly that American Chain offers. These drawings will show you configuration patterns, part numbers, quantities, and a quick reference fitment guide that will simplify any trencher chain assembly. The Digging Chain Selection Guide is also available in a hard copy. You may order yours today using part number AU105812 at a cost of $42.00.
