Learn How It Works

Why chain pins seize

Corrosion and contamination pack around pins until they won't move. Wear from constant load cycling locks them solid. Your elevator stays down while pressure builds to get it running again.

Why This Happens

Corrosion builds up around pins from moisture and debris exposure. Contamination packs in tight, combining with wear from repeated load cycling. This locks pins in place, blocking chain disassembly and halting equipment restart.
