Manual Chain Hoists

A manual chain hoist is used for lifting and lowering heavy loads. It consists of a chain, a set of gears, and a hook or other attachment point for securing the load. The chain is pulled by hand to raise the load, while a braking mechanism prevents the load from falling unexpectedly. 

Manual chain hoists are often used in industrial settings, construction sites, and other environments where heavy lifting is required. They are durable, portable, and easy to use, making them a popular choice for many lifting applications.

Red Rooster Lifting also offer ATEX manual chain hoists from KITO Van Leusden, specifically designed for use in potentially explosive environments.

Lever Hoists

A lever hoist, also known as a ratchet lever hoist, is a manual lifting and pulling device used to lift or pull heavy loads. 

It consists of a lever that is used to control a ratchet mechanism, which in turn allows the operator to lift or lower the load with precision and control. Lever hoists are commonly used in construction, manufacturing, and maintenance industries for tasks such as rigging, positioning, and securing heavy loads. 

They are compact, portable, and easy to operate, making them ideal for jobs where space may be limited or where a power source is not available.

Beam Clamps

KITO beam clamps are devices used in construction and material handling applications to attach and support piping, conduit, electrical fixtures, HVAC equipment, and other heavy objects. 

The clamp is designed to easily attach to the beam without the need for drilling or welding, making it a versatile and convenient solution for hanging loads securely.

FAQs

A manual chain hoist, also known as a chain block or hand chain hoist block, operates through a simple yet effective mechanical system. It’s designed to lift heavy loads by using a hand chain to pull a load chain through a set of gears and pulleys. 

The basic principle is that when you pull the hand chain, it turns gears or pulleys inside the hoist, which in turn moves the load chain, allowing you to lift the load. When you stop pulling the hand chain, the brake engages to hold the load securely in place.

It’s important to use manual chain hoists within their specified weight limits and follow proper safety procedures to prevent accidents and ensure the safe handling of heavy loads.
