What is chain hoist?

<p>This is determined by the weight of the load to be lifted. A hoist's rated capacity is the maximum load for which the hoist is designed to lift.&nbsp;If most of the things you are lifting are between 3-1/4 to 4-1/2 tons then select a 5 ton load limit.</p>

<p>This also known as chain blocks or chain pulley blocks, chain hoists are used extensively to move heavy loads through chain pulling. While most chain hoists are operated by hand, lever blocks (or ratchet lever hoists) are operated by pulling a manual lever either forward or backward.</p>

<p>Chain hoist&nbsp;gives you the ability to lift huge loads up to 50 tonnes with ease by using mechanical advantage. Its working load limit (WLL) is greater than a lever hoist which lifts a load up to 10,000 kg.</p>
