FAQs

What is the safe working load of this hoist?

The safe working load (SWL) for this SecureFix Direct Ratchet Lever Block Chain Hoist is 3 tons (3000KG).

How does the overload protection work?

The hoist uses a brake disc and clutch spring system. If the load exceeds 30kg, it will automatically engage to prevent further lifting. For loads below 30kg, there might be a slight delay of up to 2 seconds for the brake to fully engage.

Is a test certificate included?

Yes, the hoist is supplied with a test certificate, which will be sent to you via email.

Can I choose the color of the hoist?

The color can vary. If you require a specific color, such as black, please contact us before placing your order to check availability.

What is the lift height?

The hoist has a maximum lift height of 1.5 meters.

How should I maintain the hoist?

Regularly inspect the chain, hooks, and casing. Keep the hoist clean and store it in a dry environment. Avoid using lubricants on the braking mechanism. Professional servicing may be required periodically.

What is the product code?

The product code is SFACELH3.

Troubleshooting

Lever is difficult to operate

Check for obstructions in the chain path or ensure the load is not exceeding the safe working load. Ensure the chain is not twisted.

Hoist is not lifting the load

Verify the load is within the 3-ton capacity. Ensure the lever is being operated in the correct direction (up/down/neutral). Check if the overload protection has engaged due to excessive weight.

Brake is not engaging reliably

For loads below 30kg, allow up to 2 seconds for the clutch spring to adjust and engage the brake disc. If the issue persists, the unit may require servicing.

Chain is jamming or skipping

Inspect the chain for kinks, damage, or debris. Ensure the chain guide is clear and functioning correctly. Do not force the lever if jamming occurs.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Robust and durable construction for heavy-duty use.
  • Automatic overload protection enhances user safety.
  • Smooth chain operation facilitated by a chain guide.
  • Lightweight design for improved portability.
  • Comes with a test certificate for quality assurance.

Cons

  • Color of the hoist may vary; specific colors require pre-arrangement.
  • The overload protection mechanism may require a brief adjustment period (up to 2 seconds) for weights below 30kg.
  • Requires a minimum distance between hooks of 465mm, which might limit use in very confined spaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the hoist is securely attached to a rated anchor point capable of supporting at least the load weight plus a safety margin.
  2. Connect the upper safety hook to the anchor point and the lower safety hook to the load.
  3. Verify that the load is centered and the hooks are properly seated.
  4. For loads under 30kg, allow up to 2 seconds for the brake to fully engage after initial tension.

Compatibility:

This hoist is designed for general lifting and pulling applications. It is compatible with standard lifting points and structures that meet the required load capacity. Ensure your anchor points and rigging accessories are rated appropriately for the load.

Care:

  • Inspection: Regularly inspect the hoist before each use for any signs of wear, damage to the chain, hooks, or casing. Check for proper lever operation.
  • Cleaning: Keep the hoist clean. Use a dry cloth to wipe away dust and debris. Avoid using lubricants on the braking mechanism.
  • Storage: Store the hoist in a dry environment, away from corrosive elements, when not in use.
  • Maintenance: Refer to the manufacturer's guidelines for periodic professional servicing. Do not attempt to repair the braking system yourself.
