The Pick Up The Chain is a specialized handheld tool designed to simplify the handling of heavy railway chains—critical components used in rail fastening, emergency braking, and maintenance. Traditional chain handling relies on manual lifting (often 10–20kg per chain segment), leading to operator fatigue, back injuries, and slow work progress. This tool eliminates these issues with an automated gripping mechanism, reducing labor intensity by 60% and accelerating maintenance workflows. It is compact, durable, and compatible with most railway chain sizes, making it a must-have for rail maintenance teams.

|---|---|
Automated Gripping: One-button operation to clamp/unclamp chains, no manual lifting required.
Lightweight & Portable: Weighs only 12kg, with a ergonomic handle for single-operator use.
Wide Compatibility: Fits chain diameters of 16mm–28mm (common in railway, subway, and mining applications).
Safety First: Anti-slip clamping pads and a locking mechanism prevent chain slippage during transport.
The tool uses a spring-loaded clamping jaw with rubberized teeth to grip chains securely. The jaw opening can be adjusted (16mm–28mm) via a side knob, allowing it to handle different chain link sizes. Once clamped, the chain remains stable even when lifted or moved horizontally—reducing the risk of drops and damage.
Constructed from high-strength aluminum alloy (lightweight yet strong) and coated with anti-corrosion paint, the Pick Up The Chain withstands outdoor conditions (IP54 protection rating). It is resistant to rain, dust, and minor impacts, making it suitable for year-round use.
Compared to manual handling (30–40 seconds per chain segment), this tool reduces handling time to 15–20 seconds per segment. It also eliminates the need for two operators to lift heavy chains, allowing teams to reallocate labor to other critical tasks.
Chain installation (fitting new chains for rail fasteners or emergency brakes).
Chain removal (replacing old, rusted chains during maintenance).
Chain transport (moving chains between storage areas and work sites).
Railway lines (passenger/freight rail chain systems).
Subway and light rail (urban rail chain fastening for tracks).
Mining rails (heavy-duty chains for mining cart safety and track stability).
What is the maximum weight the tool can lift?
It can safely lift chains up to 30kg—covering all standard railway chain weights (10–20kg per segment).
Can it be used in tight spaces (e.g., between sleepers)?
Yes. The tool has a compact design (40cm×30cm×25cm) and a 90° rotatable handle, allowing it to operate in spaces as narrow as 50cm.
Does the tool require power (e.g., batteries)?
No. It is a manual mechanical tool—no batteries, motors, or cables needed. This makes it reliable for remote work sites with no power access.
How do I maintain the tool to ensure longevity?
After each use, wipe the clamping jaws clean to remove debris. Lubricate the jaw hinge with lithium grease every 50 uses. Store it in a dry place to prevent rust—with proper maintenance, it can last 5–7 years.
