Manual Chain Hoists are a great option when your application requires lifting a heavy load.
Manual chain hoists are simple mechanical devices that use a geared transmission and chain to raise a load.
The hand controlled loop of chain turns a chain wheel that is attached to a short drive shaft which is connected to a series of gears.
Fitted inside the gearing is a brake paw which prevents the load from slipping when it is being raised or lowered.
