Product Details
The Oz Lifting Manual Chain Hoist with Standard Overload Protection has a capacity of 1/2 ton and offers a lift height of 20 feet. This premium chain hoist is available in capacities ranging from 0.5 ton up to 30 tons (with 50 ton available upon special order) and features standard lifts of 10 and 20 feet, all of which are in stock. The hoist is custom rigged to meet specific needs and is rigged and tested in the U.S.A. Key features include standard overload protection, which is integral and factory-set to prevent overloading. When the overload is activated, the hoist will cease operation, requiring the operator to lower or release the load before selecting a larger capacity hoist. The hoist’s unique hand wheel design allows the hand chain to feed into the wheel sprocket from various angles, enabling operation from different positions without the risk of jamming. Compared to competitive models, this hoist requires 20% to 35% less effort to lift heavy loads, making it ideal for frequent lifting or pulling applications. Additional attributes include fully enclosed gearing for protection from debris, all-steel construction for durability, and forged alloy steel hooks with cast steel safety latches that facilitate easy field changes. The thrust bearing on the lower hook allows for easy rotation of the load while suspended, preventing load chain twisting. The hand and load chains are electro zinc plated for added durability.
