Miniload from AFB

Belt drive or chain drive?

The telescopic fork with a chain drive has a higher total height, because it needs a gearbox.
The telescopic fork with a chain is limited to a speed of max. 120 m/min.
The self weight is higher of a telescopic fork with chain drive.
The belt has no elongation instead of the chain.

When would you need to use a chain drive version instead of belt drive?

In cold storage applications

In aggressive environments
