Product Overview

What The Chain Hoist Is

A hand chain hoist lifts where there is no power and no room for a crane. Pulling the hand chain turns a load wheel through a gear train, and a double pawl brake with springs holds the load at any point in the lift. There is nothing to plug in and nothing to charge.

Our chain hoists are built to German standards with an emphasis on safety, reliability and quality control. Drop forged top and bottom hooks are specially designed to bend slowly under excessive overload, so the hoist warns the operator before anything fails. The load chain is high strength material at 800 MPa, and RUD chain is available where the customer specifies it.

Key Benefits

Why Buyers Choose This Product

Lifts Where There Is No Power

A hand chain hoist needs no supply, no cable and no charging, so it works on remote sites, in tanks and inside structures.

Warns Before It Fails

Drop forged hooks are designed to bend slowly under excessive overload, giving a visible warning long before the hoist reaches a failure point.

Redundant Braking

A double pawl with springs provides redundancy in the operation of the brake mechanism, so the load is held even if one pawl is disturbed.

Built To EN 13157 And CE

The design accords with EN 13157 and the CE regulations, which is what European buyers are asked to prove.

Application Scenarios

Where It Is Used And Who It Is For

Application Scenarios

  • Machine and plant installation and maintenance
  • Workshop lifting under a beam or a gantry
  • Steel structure erection on site
  • Shipyard, dock and offshore maintenance
  • Warehouse and yard lifting without a power supply

Who It Is For

  • Maintenance departments in plants and factories
  • Steel erectors and construction contractors
  • Lifting equipment distributors and hire fleets
  • Shipyards and marine maintenance operations
Problems It Solves

The Sourcing Problems This Product Removes

There is no power supply at the lifting point

Solution. A hand chain hoist works entirely from the hand chain, so it can be rigged in a tank, on a mast or on a remote site.

Overload is only discovered when something breaks

Solution. The drop forged hooks bend slowly under excessive overload and give a visible warning first.

Brake failure means a dropped load

Solution. A double pawl brake with springs provides redundancy, so the mechanism does not depend on a single pawl.

Load chain quality varies between suppliers

Solution. The load chain is high strength at 800 MPa, and RUD chain can be specified where the end user requires it.

How To Use The Chain Hoist Safely

  1. Check the working load limit on the nameplate and confirm the hoist suits the load.
  2. Inspect the load chain, the hooks and the latches before every lift.
  3. Suspend the hoist so the load chain hangs vertically and the hoist is free to align with the load.
  4. Keep the correct lifting angle on the load chain. A hoist is designed for a straight vertical pull.
  5. Do not lengthen the hand chain or use a bar to increase the pull.
  6. Lower the load fully and store the hoist with the chain clear of the floor.
