Hand chain hoists for shop, yard and maintenance lifting, supplied from 1 to 5 tonne with standard and custom lift heights.
Each unit is proof-tested before shipment, marked with its rated capacity and serial number, and shipped with the test certificate and an inspection manual. That documentation is what makes a hoist inspectable on a schedule rather than an unknown hanging from a beam.
Heavy duty builds change what wears: Grade 100 load chain, heavier hook forgings, sealed bearings and upgraded brake friction for high cycle duty.

- Grade 100 alloy load chain in place of Grade 80
- Heavier hook forgings with self-locking latches on both ends
- Sealed bearings and upgraded brake friction for high cycle duty
- Corrosion-resistant finish for outdoor and marine service
- Extended lift heights with matched chain container
- Proof-tested and certified to the rated capacity of the HD build
