FAQ about this model

What is the maximum load capacity of this chain hoist?

This hoist is rated for 1/2 ton, which is 1000 lbs (453 kg). Do not exceed this capacity. If your loads are heavier, you'll need a hoist with a higher rating, as this unit (model CH05-G) is built specifically for the 1/2 ton range.

How high can this hoist lift a load?

The standard lift height is 10 ft (3 m). This is the fixed lift distance for this model and is not adjustable. Measure your application's vertical clearance and required lift distance before ordering to confirm 10 ft will work for your setup.

What type of chain does this hoist use?

It uses a high-strength galvanized steel load chain. Galvanized chain offers corrosion resistance compared to untreated steel, which can be useful in outdoor or humid environments. The hoist frame itself is heavy-duty steel construction.

How is this hoist operated?

It's operated manually using a hand chain — there's no electric motor or power requirement. This makes it suitable for locations without electrical access. Lifting and lowering speed depends on how fast the operator pulls the hand chain.

What safety features does this hoist have?

It uses a dual pawl braking system, which provides two independent points of engagement to hold the load in place when the hand chain is released. This is a mechanical braking design built into the hoist body, not an add-on component.

Does this hoist come with a warranty?

Yes, the Bison Lifting 1/2 Ton Chain Hoist (CH05-G) comes with a 12 month warranty from the manufacturer.
