FAQ about this model
What is the maximum load this hoist can lift?
The Bison CH30-OL is rated for 3 tons, or 6,000 lbs. Stay within this limit for safe operation; the hoist's built-in overload protection is designed to work alongside this rated capacity, not replace proper load calculation on your part.
How does the overload protection work?
This hoist has Integrated Overload Protection as a safety feature, which is designed to respond if a lift exceeds the rated capacity. The specifications do not detail the exact trip threshold or reset procedure, so refer to the included manual for operating instructions before use.
What kind of brake does it use?
The CH30-OL uses a Double Pawl Weston-style brake. This is a mechanical, self-engaging brake design commonly used on manual chain hoists to hold a load in place once lifting stops, without relying on an external power source.
What is the load chain made of?
The load chain is Grade 80 alloy steel. This is a higher-strength chain grade than standard Grade 43, which is why it's used on lifting equipment rated for load-bearing applications like this 3-ton hoist.
Is this hoist manual or powered?
It's a manual chain hoist, meaning you operate it by hand-pulling the chain rather than with electric or pneumatic power. This makes it suited to sites without power access or for lower-frequency lifting tasks up to its 3-ton (6,000 lbs) rated capacity.
What warranty comes with this hoist?
The Bison Lifting CH30-OL comes with a 12-month warranty. Keep your purchase records on hand, as they will typically be needed to make a warranty claim during that period.
