Lifting chain also loops the lifting mechanism and lifts or lowers a load. At the end of the chain there is a grab hook, where you can attach lifting chains or slings, a load leveler or load itself. There is also a hook on the top of the chain hoists housing.
This hook is used to attach the hoist to a ceiling mount, trolley system or other construction that can withstand the weight a hoist will lift. Most chain hoists have swivel hooks, meaning that they can be turned degrees around to allow for easier mounting. The lifting mechanism consists of a cog, axle, drive shaft, gears and sprockets. There is also a chain stopper or brake on most chain hoists that prevents load from lowering under a load. The physics behind a chain hoist are very simple and have been used for lifting heavy objects for a long time.
Chain hoist uses a mechanical advantage to transform small force over a long distance to large force over a short distance, this is possible by using multiple larger and smaller gears in the chain hoist mechanism.
To lift a load, chain hoist operator needs to pull down the hand chain, this turns the cog and axle which goes trough the lifting mechanism. Inside the lifting mechanism are multiple gears which increase the mechanical work applied when pulling the hand chain for dozen times using gear ratio, allowing to easily lift loads with multiple ton capacity. So when the hand chain is pulled, the cog which is rotated by the hand chain turns the drive shaft and gears which turn the load chain sprocket, this also rotates the load chain that is looped over the load chain sprocket and lifts a load.

Views: Chain hoists operate via an endless chain looped over a dual pulley system, adding a mechanical advantage in the same way as a pulley. Related News. Related Products. General Manager: Janet Zhao. Contact info: Dawson Joe. All Resolved Site Map. Manual chain hoists are a hand controlled loop of chain with a geared transmission that allows you to easily lift a load.
E-Rigging carries the Tyler Tool brand of chain hoists ranging from half ton to 5 ton load lifting capacity. The lever hoist works by cranking the lever up and down to power the ratchet and pawl system, which move the load a set distance per crank. The direction of the internal gear can be easily switched, to move the load up or down as needed. A Chain Block also known as a hand chain hoist is a mechanism used to lift and lower heavy loads using a chain.
Chain blocks contain two wheels which the chain is wound around. When the chain is pulled, it winds around the wheels and begins to lift the item that is attached to the rope or chain via a hook. Wrapping the main chain and back hooking is sometimes used instead of slings, but this stops the hook swivelling, which means any twists in the chain are not removed. Place an A-frame or other support over the weight you wish to lift.
Hook the hook on the top of the upper block through the eye-bolt on the A-frame. The upper block of the chain hoist has a loop of chain that is not threaded through the lower block.
