Learn How It Works

Why Chain Pins Seize

Production is stalled and schedules are slipping while the elevator sits idle.

Torch cutting risks chain damage and creates fire hazards in tight spaces.

Corrosion, wear, and contamination pack material tight around pins that won’t budge.

Why This Happens

Corrosion builds over time and locks pins in place. Wear and contamination pack debris between pin and sidebar, increasing friction. Repeated load cycling and thermal changes tighten the fit until pins seize completely and block disassembly.
