Hand chain hoist: analysis of different types of lifting performance and characteristics

A hand chain hoist is a manual lifting tool mainly used for lifting and transporting heavy objects. According to different lifting performance, working principle, working level and scope of application, hand chain hoists can be divided into many types, which will be introduced in detail below.

Ordinary chain hoist

The ordinary hand chain hoist is a relatively common manual lifting tool, usually suitable for smaller lifting capacities, and the maximum lifting capacity is generally less than 5 tons. The working principle of an ordinary chain hoist is to use the lifting movement of the handle to drive the gear-driven lifting chain for lifting. Its working level is usually Level 1 or Level 2. Suitable for various light industrial, outdoor, mining, construction sites and other occasions.

High lifting capacity hand chain hoist

The high-lifting capacity hand chain hoist is a manual lifting tool used for larger lifting capacities. The maximum lifting capacity can reach more than 50 tons. Its working principle is to lift by using double gears and transmission chains, which makes its lifting capacity more powerful while ensuring smooth and stable lifting. The working level of high-lifting force hand chain hoists is usually Level 3 or Level 4, which is suitable for various large ships, bridges, machinery manufacturing and other occasions.

Electric chain hoist

The electric chain hoist is a manual lifting tool driven by electricity. It has strong lifting capacity and efficient lifting speed. The working principle of the electric chain hoist is that it is driven by an electric motor and achieves lifting movement through gears and transmission chains. Its working level is usually Level 2 or Level 3, and it is suitable for various heavy industry, mining, ports and other occasions.

Explosion-proof hand chain hoist

Explosion-proof hand chain hoist is a special manual lifting tool, which is suitable for flammable and explosive situations, such as chemical industry, petroleum and other industries. Explosion-proof hand chain hoist uses special explosion-proof materials and technology, which can effectively prevent sparks and arcs during lifting operations, thereby ensuring lifting safety.

In addition, the lifting height of the hand chain hoist is also an indicator that needs attention. Some chain hoists can reach higher lifting heights, which is very useful in environments where high lifting heights are required. At the same time, the weight of the chain hoist is also a factor that needs to be considered. Lighter chain hoists are easier to carry and operate.
