FAQ about this model
What load can this hoist lift?
It is rated at 2 tons, which is 4,000 lbs or 1,814 kg. That figure is the maximum working load, not a peak or shock rating, and it includes everything hanging below the hook. Add up the weight of the load plus any slings, spreader bars, or below-hook attachments; if the total sits close to 4,000 lbs, choose a higher-capacity model instead.
Does it need electricity or compressed air?
No. It is a manual hand chain hoist, so there is no electrical or pneumatic supply to arrange. The operator raises and lowers the load by pulling the hand chain, which drives precision-machined, hardened steel gears. That makes it practical for outdoor work, remote job sites, maintenance bays, and anywhere running a power drop would be impractical.
How does it hold the load in position?
With a double pawl Weston-style load brake. The brake engages as the load is applied and holds it at the height where the operator stops pulling, so the hand chain does not have to be held or tied off. Both hooks are heat-treated, drop-forged alloy steel and carry heavy-duty safety latches to keep slings from unseating.
What difference does the galvanized load chain make?
The galvanized coating adds corrosion resistance to the Grade 80 alloy steel load chain. That suits it to damp, outdoor, or wash-down environments where a plain or black-finish chain would surface-rust between uses. The alloy steel carries the load and the coating protects it. The housing is steel with a powder-coat finish for the same reason.
Which standards does this hoist meet?
It is built to ASME B30.16, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers standard covering overhead hoists, and to EN 13157, the European standard for hand-powered lifting equipment issued by CEN. Note that this covers the hoist itself. The beam, trolley, or structure you suspend it from must be rated for the load separately.
What warranty and part number apply?
The hoist carries a 12-month warranty. The SKU is CH20-G, which identifies the 2-ton galvanized-chain configuration — quote it when ordering or sourcing spare parts such as chain, hooks, or latches. Pricing starts at $418. The product data does not detail what the warranty covers or excludes, so confirm those terms before purchase if they matter to your decision.
