‌Factors to consider when selecting a hand chain hoist‌

‌Appearance and Quality‌: High-quality hand chain hoists usually have full paint, smooth chains, and a pit-free surface. Poor quality hand chain hoists will feel obviously rough when touched.

‌Marked load‌: Verify whether the marked load of the product is authentic and reliable, and avoid purchasing hand chain hoists with falsely marked loads to avoid potential safety hazards.

‌Chain material‌: High-quality lifting chains usually use national standard G80 or G100 chains, while some small manufacturers may use inferior chains.

‌Cover material‌: The cover material should be strong and not easily deformed to ensure the overall quality of the hand chain hoist.

‌Safe use rules‌: It is strictly prohibited to use two or more hand chain hoists to lift the same heavy object at the same time to avoid overloading and improper operation during use.

Usage scenario and space‌: Choose the appropriate size and tonnage of the chain hoist according to the usage scenario and space as well as the lifting tonnage and height.‌Detailed selection suggestions‌

‌Choose a brand‌: Choose a well-known brand and a manufacturer with a good reputation, such as WUYI chain hoists. The products have passed the EU CE certification and are exported to Europe and America.

‌Trial the product‌: Try the product before purchasing and observe whether there are any abnormalities such as chain jamming or chain skipping. If these problems still occur frequently under standardized operation, it is recommended to avoid purchasing this type of hand chain hoist.

‌Specification Selection‌: Choose the appropriate specification based on the weight and height that needs to be lifted. For example, if you need to lift an object weighing less than 2 tons by 3 meters, you need to choose the specification of 2 tons and 3 meters.

‌Material Selection‌: Choose the appropriate material according to the use environment. For example, explosion-proof hand chain hoists are suitable for flammable and explosive situations, while stainless steel hand chain hoists are suitable for humid environments.
