Manual Chain Hoists

Manual Chain Hoists are hand-operated lifting tools for short-distance lifting, equipment positioning, maintenance, and safe material handling in workshops and construction sites.

  •   Round type is suitable for general workshop lifting and maintenance handling
  •   Triangle type is suitable for compact industrial lifting with low hand-pulling force
  •   Mini type is suitable for portable lifting, narrow spaces, and light-duty maintenance
  •   Stainless type is suitable for humid, clean, corrosive, or rust-sensitive environments
  •   Aluminum type is suitable for applications requiring lighter body weight and frequent movement
  •   Explosion-proof type should be selected only after confirming working area classification and spark-control requirements
  •   Final selection should confirm load weight, lifting height, hook clearance, chain material, working space, and operating environment

Description

Manual Chain Hoists are hand-operated lifting devices used for short-distance lifting, lowering, positioning, and maintenance handling of equipment, parts, and goods. By pulling the hand chain, the operator drives the internal gear transmission and lifting chain to raise or lower the load without electric power, making the product suitable for workshops, warehouses, installation sites, maintenance areas, and outdoor working conditions.

The main lifting structure is designed for smooth hand pulling, stable load holding, and reliable braking. Depending on the working environment, available options include alloy steel construction, compact body design, stainless steel structure, aluminum alloy housing, and non-sparking explosion-proof configuration. Selection should be based on load weight, lifting height, available space, corrosion condition, portability requirement, and site safety demand.

Manual Chain Hoists for Different Working Conditions

This product series includes six main designs. Round Manual Chain Hoists are general-purpose models with integrated bearing structure, alloy steel gear transmission, guide wheels, and high-strength G80 lifting chain for smooth and stable operation. Triangle Manual Chain Hoists feature a compact appearance, light weight, low hand-pulling force, and easy maintenance, making them suitable for regular lifting and installation work.

Mini Manual Chain Hoists are smaller and easier to carry, suitable for light-duty lifting, narrow spaces, and mobile maintenance work. Stainless Manual Chain Hoists are designed for clean, humid, corrosive, or rust-sensitive environments, using stainless components for improved corrosion resistance and smoother chain operation. Aluminum Manual Chain Hoists use an aluminum alloy body for lighter weight and better impact resistance, suitable for portable lifting and frequent movement. Explosion-proof Manual Chain Hoists use non-sparking material combinations for safer operation in special environments where spark control is required; the final explosion-proof grade should be confirmed according to the project site.

For reliable operation, the final model should be selected according to rated load, hoisting height, test load, minimum distance between hooks, hand chain pulling force, lifting chain diameter, number of chain rows, body material, hook type, and application environment. For special working conditions such as corrosion, clean areas, confined spaces, flammable environments, or outdoor maintenance, the most suitable chain block type should be confirmed before quotation.

For related lifting equipment, you can also view Electric Hoists, Overhead Cranes, and Gantry Cranes. For hoist and machinery safety reference, you may check the ASME B30.16 Overhead Underhung and Stationary Hoists and ISO 12100 Safety of Machinery.
