・The point of application of the vertical load that can be tolerated by one of the attachments A is the position of the attachment's mounting hole.
・K attachments are twice as powerful as A attachments.
- Please contact us for other types of attachments.

Make sure that the load on the rollers and attachments is below the values in the table above.
If this value is exceeded, change to a chain size that can tolerate the load and then proceed with the final selection.
