Product overview
The 1873 family is commonly used as a steel-base snap-on gripper format for product handling where containers or packs must be held while changing elevation. This page is intentionally written as a sourcing and engineering reference rather than a promise that every market-interchange version is identical.

Typical applications
- Bottle and container elevators
- Incline / decline conveyors
- Side-grip transfers
- Packaging line elevation changes
Include this in your RFQ
- Existing chain code or clear photos
- Conveyor path and center distance
- Product width, weight and surface
- Required grip style / material
- Sprocket tooth count or drawing
Selection note
Do not select a gripper or attachment chain from tensile strength alone. Fit depends on sprocket engagement, pitch, width, attachment location, product contact geometry, conveyor path, lubrication and environmental conditions. For replacement work, a dimensioned sample or drawing is preferred.
