Heavy-Duty Apron Chains Built for Performance

Custom-built apron chains for agriculture and industrial applications—engineered for durability, fast turnaround and real cost savings.

What Are Apron Chains?

Apron chains are heavy-duty chain assemblies used to move bulk materials in agricultural and industrial equipment. Commonly found in manure spreaders, silage trailers and conveyor systems, apron chains are built to handle continuous loads in tough environments.

A typical apron chain system includes:

  • Pintle or detachable chain links
  • Cross slats or bars for material movement
  • Heavy-duty connections for strength and longevity

At Excel Machine & Mfg., our apron chains are manufactured using high-quality materials and built to perform under demanding conditions.
