Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose the correct load capacity for my manual hoist?
Select a hoist with a rated load capacity that exceeds the maximum weight you plan to lift, including any lifting accessories. Never exceed the stated load capacity and always follow your site’s lifting procedures.
What is the difference between single strand and double strand hoists?
Single strand hoists use one chain fall and are suitable for lower to medium loads. Double strand hoists use two chain falls to share the load, allowing for higher capacities such as 5000 kg while maintaining smooth operation.
Can these manual hoists be used with existing lifting beams or trolleys?
Yes, manual chain hoists are commonly suspended from suitable lifting beams or trolleys, provided they have adequate load rating and correct fixing points. Always ensure compatibility and have installations checked by a competent person.
