CHAIN BLOCK

A chain block, also known as a chain hoist or manual chain hoist, is a mechanical device used to lift and lower heavy loads in various industrial and construction applications. It is a type of hand-operated lifting equipment that relies on a chain and pulley system to perform lifting tasks.

The chain block consists of a metal chain that is wrapped around a pair of wheels or sprockets, with one end of the chain attached to a hook or a lifting point. The other end of the chain is pulled by hand, which causes the load to be lifted. The chain is designed with links that are strong enough to handle heavy loads safely.

Chain blocks are available in different lifting capacities, and they are commonly used in situations where electricity or other power sources are not available or practical. They are portable, durable, and easy to use, making them suitable for various lifting operations in workshops, warehouses, construction sites, and maintenance tasks.

To ensure safety during operation, users should follow proper lifting procedures, check the equipment regularly for any signs of wear or damage, and adhere to the manufacturer's guidelines and load capacity limits.
