FAQs

Does this product come with a test certificate?

Yes, a test certificate is supplied with the product to confirm it meets safety standards.

Can I increase the lift height beyond 3 metres?

No, the chain is fixed to a 3-metre lift capacity. Do not attempt to modify the chain length.

What is the weight of the unit itself?

The unit is designed with lightweight steel construction to be manageable, though specific weight can be found on the included data plate.

What is the 4:1 factor of safety?

This means the hardware is engineered to withstand four times its rated load before structural failure, providing a significant margin of safety.

Can this be used outdoors?

Yes, but it must be kept clean, lubricated, and stored undercover when not in use to prevent rust.

What is the diameter of the load chain?

The load chain has a diameter of 7.1mm.

Troubleshooting

Chain is binding during operation

Ensure the chain is not twisted and is properly seated in the chain guide and sprocket.

Hook latch will not close

Clear any debris or grit from the latch mechanism or replace the latch spring if deformed.

Significant resistance when lifting load

Verify that the load does not exceed the 1.5-ton limit and check that the chain is lubricated.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-strength heat-treated safety hooks
  • Lightweight steel construction aids in easier setup
  • Certified to BS EN 13157 standards
  • Smooth operation via integrated chain guides

Cons

  • Limited to a 3-metre total lift height
  • Requires manual operation, which can be physically demanding
  • Heavier than manual hoists, potentially requiring two people for overhead mounting

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires a secure overhead anchor point capable of supporting at least twice the maximum rated load to account for dynamic weight. Ensure the minimum distance between hooks of 390mm is accommodated in your workspace. For care, keep the load chain lightly lubricated with machine oil to prevent rust, and inspect the safety latches on the hooks before every use. Always store the unit in a dry environment to avoid corrosion of internal gears and the chain assembly. Ensure you keep the provided test certificate with your maintenance logs for compliance audits.
