Manual Chain Hoist

Lift Heavy Objects with a Manual Chain Hoist

There are many reasons why you would need to use a manual chain hoist, but they all revolve around being able to lift very heavy objects. There are several different types that you can go with, and the materials used in making them, as well as the style, will affect the overall price. One of the high end types is the Columbus McKinnon 85960 with a chain that has a length of 1 foot. They are pretty powerful units and run upwards of $4500. If you aren't able to spend that much, you don't have to, as there are other options.

The C & M 3 Ton Aluminum manual chain hoist cyclone is regarded as one of the most reliable types ever built. They are very durable, and also have among the best parts interchangeability of any unit available. They come equipped with automatic overload protection, as well as Weston automatic brakes that are enclosed and enable positive load control. With these, you are able to get better lift with less effort because of the high efficiency gearing. The forged liftwheel pockets also make it easier to lift objects. Add in the fact that you get a lifetime warranty with these and the $1200 price tag seems very reasonable.

There are plenty of other manual chain hoist options to choose from if you really do not have a lot of money to spend. The Ingersoll Rand 1.5 ton SMB015 is available for only $299. Yale Lift makes a 3 ton manual model with a trolley and it is available for less than $300 as well. IR has one with a 5 ton capacity and 10 foot length for just over $779, making it a great value for anyone that needs to be able to lift huge objects. There are also foot lift types like the 2 ton hoist from Silver Series that only runs $250.

So if you need to somehow lift a very heavy object one time, you might want to invest in a more affordable manual chain hoist. If you will be doing it during different occasions, a more durable, expensive model might be the way to go.
