Hook Suspended Chain Blocks

Yale provides a fantastic range of hand chain blocks based variations on two main range of products, the Yale VS III hand chain hoist and the YaleLift 360 (YL 360) hand chain hoists (direct mount trolley versions are also available - The ITP (push trolley hoist), ITG (geared trolley hoist), YLLHP (low headroom push trolley hoist) & YLLHG (low headroom geared trolley hoist). The VS III has less options and is available from 500kg SWL through to a staggering 50,000kg (50 tonne) and but only be supplied hook suspended (though stand-alone hook-in trolleys are available, but direct mount isn't, like is available for the YL360).

The VSIII (VS 3) block and tackle is the work horse of the Yale lifting equipment range; it is excellent value for money while maintaining the typical quality we come to expect from Yale. The Yale Lift 360 however is available in many different configurations and can be supplied to our customers in a range rising from 500kg all the way to 20 tonne.

The YaleLift360 has a hand chain guard that will rotate through 360 degrees, hence the name. This is a key safety feature meaning that the person operating the hoist can always find a safe location away from the load, to the side or above. Meaning that should there be an unforeseen accident and the load be released then the user would not be “in line” with the load, they would be in a position of safety. The YaleLift 360 can also be supplied Atex rated with spark resistant features and/or corrosion resistance. A truly versatile hoist range to serve the needs of heavy industry.

Kito hand chain hoists are generally considered in the lifting industry at absolutely top of the range for quality. They are more expensive (as you may expect) though have an excellent reputation for reliability in the harshest of environments. The Kito high-class load chain with the breaking strength of 1000N/mm2 (100kgf/mm2) which constitutes the main factor for reliable and safe operation and the dry type braking mechanism provides excellent performance. The braking system, which makes up heart of the hand chain hoists, is enclosed in a double covers: the wheel and the brake covers. These protective covers not only keep out weather but also help to prevent mud and dust from entering internal workings. Hand chain guide attached to the wheel cover provides durability and smooth operation of a hand chain on a hand chain wheel. The Kito hand chain hoists range Model M3 is available through LiftingSafety capacities from 0.5t to 50t.
