One of Europe’s main suppliers of dam and lock chains. Now available in USA/North America.
KOBO is one of the main suppliers for dam and lock chains in Europe. As a consequence, we offer decades of experience in manufacturing heavy-duty conveyor and gall chains. Our European customers are located in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and France, and they include municipalities, energy providers, as well as engineering firms for dams and locks.
Now, KOBO’s state-of-the-art chain technology for dams and locks is also available in North, Central, and South America.
Dam and lock chains are mainly manufactured as gall chains made of stainless steel with self-lubricating joints. These chains can last up to 40 years. Special materials with optimized heat treatment increase the lifetime of chains and sprockets tremendously and reduce maintenance intervals.
Certain chains can also be refurbished and do not have to be replaced completely. To refurbish chains and sprockets, KOBO conducts surveys and consults customers on the job site.
KOBO is your one-stop shop
As a one-stop shop, KOBO provides not only chains but also sprockets and pinions in metric or imperial dimensions. Because of the uniqueness of every project, all KOBO chains for dams and locks are made to order.
