Product Information
Full details
The SecureFix Direct Ratchet Lever Block Chain Hoist is designed for professionals and DIY enthusiasts needing to lift or pull loads up to 1 Ton (1000KG) over a 3-meter range. Its lightweight steel construction and chain guide ensure ease of use and smooth operation, while drop-forged safety hooks provide secure attachment. A key benefit is its reliable braking system that engages instantly for loads over 30kg. A potential consideration is that the default color may vary, and a specific black finish requires a special order.

FAQs
What is the Safe Working Load (SWL) of this hoist?
The Safe Working Load (SWL) for this model is 1 Tonne, which is equivalent to 1000 Kilograms.
How long is the lifting chain?
The lifting chain provides a maximum lift of 3 meters.
What type of brake system does this hoist use?
It uses a brake disc and clutch spring system. This brake engages immediately for loads over 30kg and self-adjusts within 2 seconds for loads below 30kg.
Does the hoist come with a certificate?
Yes, a test certificate is supplied with the hoist and will be sent to you via email after purchase.
Can I choose the color of the hoist?
The color can vary. If you specifically require a black finish, please contact us before placing your order, as this may be a special request.
What is the minimum distance between the hooks?
The minimum distance between the hooks is 290mm.
How often should I lubricate the chain?
It is recommended to lubricate the chain periodically, especially after use in dusty or wet conditions, to ensure smooth operation and prevent rust. Wipe off excess oil.
Troubleshooting
Hoist does not lift or move the load
Check if the load is below the rated capacity. Ensure the lever is being operated in the correct direction for lifting. Verify the brake mechanism is not obstructed and has adjusted correctly for the load weight.
Chain is stiff or not feeding smoothly
Inspect the chain for kinks, twists, or debris. Clean and lubricate the chain. Ensure the chain guide is clear of obstructions.
Hoist slips during operation
Cease operation immediately. Inspect the brake disc and clutch spring mechanism for damage or debris. For loads under 30kg, allow the automatic adjustment period (up to 2 seconds) to engage. If the issue persists, professional servicing may be required.
Hook latch is not closing properly
Inspect the hook for deformation or damage. Ensure no foreign objects are preventing the latch from closing fully. If damaged, the hook must be replaced.

- Reliable and safe braking mechanism for immediate load security.
- Durable construction with heat-treated safety hooks.
- User-friendly design with a chain guide for smooth operation.
- Lightweight for easy transport and handling.
- Compliance with relevant European safety standards.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Inspect: Before each use, visually inspect the hoist, chain, and hooks for any signs of damage, wear, or deformation. Ensure the hooks are properly seated.
- Secure Anchor Point: Attach the upper hook to a certified and load-rated overhead anchor point. Never attach to sharp edges without protective padding.
- Attach Load: Connect the lower hook to the load using appropriate lifting accessories. Ensure the load is balanced and centered.
- Operate: Use the lever to lift or pull. For lifting, pull the lever upwards; for lowering, push the lever downwards. The chain will move accordingly.
Compatibility:
This hoist is designed for general lifting and pulling applications. It is compatible with standard lifting points and rigging hardware. Always ensure that any accessory used (slings, shackles) has a working load limit (WLL) equal to or exceeding the hoist's WLL.
Care:
- Cleaning: After use, wipe down the hoist with a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove dust and debris. Avoid using solvents or harsh chemicals.
- Lubrication: Periodically lubricate the chain with a light machine oil to ensure smooth operation and prevent rust. Ensure excess oil is wiped off to prevent attracting dirt.
- Storage: Store the hoist in a clean, dry environment, away from corrosive elements and extreme temperatures. Ensure the chain is not kinked or tangled. Consider hanging it or placing it in a protective case.
