Hand Chain Blocks

Quick Ref: CN-5
A huge range of manual chain blocks (hand chain hoists) from all of the industry leading manufacturers, with discounts available across the complete chain hoist range.

A hand-operated chain block is a manual chain hoist (also commonly known as a block and tackle) that lifts by the pulling of a hand chain. They are portable pieces of lifting equipment that are available in versatile configurations; they are very adaptable to many alternative working scenarios and working environments including permanent and temporary installations. Available in capacities ranging from 250kg up to 100 tonnes, the chain hoist is adaptable to the greater majority of lifting applications or situations.

We offer hand chain hoists from many of the world top quality manufacturers including Yale, Tiger Lifting, Kito, Tractel, Hadef and William Hackett’s and we are constantly adding new manufacturers to our range of chain blocks, meaning that even more features and options are continually becoming available.

Hand chain blocks can be supplied with top hook suspension or with an integrated trolley be it push travel or geared chain drive for use on a monorail lifting beam.

We also offer a specialist range of hand chain hoists such as atex rated for use in potentially explosive areas that have anti-sparking features to prevent an explosion or ROV Subsea chain hoists that are specially designed for operation by a remote-operated vehicle underwater.

General information about chain blocks

We supply manual chain blocks (hand operated hoists) in capacities and configurations to suit most lifting applications and to our customers specification.

All of the above hand chain hoists supplied from by LiftingSafety are from quality manufacturers. We only sell quality blocks/hoists as our lifting equipment supplier reputation is important to us, we do not intend to risk good reputation by selling cheap quality Far East poor quality lifting equipment. With the range offered there are many configurations and options to suit most lifting and hoisting operations, we have made a conscious decision not to sell cheap Far East copies from unknown and unproven manufacturers. Many specialist features such as stainless steel and spark resistance are available; contact us if you need any assistance.

There are three main types of hand chain hoist available which are:

  1. Hook suspended which is a hoist with hooks top and bottom.
  2. The hoist unit fitted with a push travel trolley (manual trolley), which enables manual movement up and down a beam.
  3. A hoist with a geared trolley integrated in to the hoisting unit, which via the pulling of a chain drive the trolley can glide up and down a beam with the utmost ease.

We also offer a range of completely stainless steel hand chain blocks which are not presently advertised online though we will be adding them to our web site shortly.

Looking for an alternative to a manual/pull chain hoist?

At liftingsafety we believe in offering the right tool for the job, with this in mind we would like to also inform you that we also have a wide range of alternative power/drive options, the main options to choose from are electric hoists (electric chain hoists), Air hoists (pneumatic hoists) and lever chain hoists - (Pullifts), any of which could prove to be a more suitable or efficient hoisting solution for the task at hand. Alternatively you may wish to view our complete range of chain hoists, this may aid you in making a more informed decision as to which direction you would like to proceed, although if you are unsure or if we can aid you in any way, then please get in touch.
