Chain Hoist


NorthernTool.com manual chain hoist

A chain hoist is a device used for lifting or lowering by means of a chain wrapped around a drum.  Internal gear reduction allows for easier lift and lowering.  There are manual or powered chain (shown on the right) hoists available.  Hoists are usually attached to a beam or other load supporting point with a hook or hoop. 

Hoists are handy for holding / lifting / lowering engines, transmissions, frames, etc...

Proper attention should be paid to see that the hoist is weight rated for the job and that the mounting point is capable of supporting the load being held.
