Chain ID? There's an App for that

Bob Wellsbury, managing director of Donghua and the driving force behind this unique tool, explains: “We receive many calls from engineers who need help to identify the right replacement chain for a piece of equipment. Last year we launched a simple Online Chain ID Tool on our website which captures key information from which we can quickly and easily identify chain. Customers have found the convenience of this online Tool really useful and feedback has been tremendous.”

He added: “Developing the Online Chain ID Tool as a mobile application means users can now complete the Chain ID form on the go, on any device. The App, which is the first of its kind in the UK, also comes with an added visual ID feature – users can take a photo of the chain they want to replace and upload it to the App, making identification even quicker and more reliable.”

Donghua is so confident that the Chain ID Tool App can identify the right chain that it is offering users a guarantee: If an order is placed following identification of the replacement chain via the App and it is wrong, the company guarantees it will supply the correct chain free of charge.

The Chain ID Tool on the website and the App currently helps identify Leaf chain, Agricultural chain and attachments and standard Roller chain and attachments, with further developments planned including Sprockets. Future updates to the App can be automatically downloaded to a user’s device as they become available.

The new Chain ID App is available now in the App Store and Google Play and is free to download. Search for ‘Donghua Chain ID’ and install on a smart phone or tablet to find the right chain, first time.
