Troubleshooting

Chain is stiff or difficult to pull

Inspect the chain for kinks, rust, or debris. Ensure the chain is properly seated in the chain guide. Lubricate the chain and internal mechanism with a suitable grease.

Load does not lift evenly

Check that the load is centered and securely attached to the hook. Verify that the chain is not tangled or caught on anything. Ensure the chain block is hanging vertically.

Hooks appear damaged or deformed

Immediately cease use. Damaged hooks compromise safety. Contact the manufacturer or a qualified repair service for replacement. Do not attempt to straighten or repair hooks yourself.

Rust or corrosion on the casing or chain

Clean the affected areas with a wire brush and apply a rust inhibitor or lubricant. For significant corrosion, consult a professional for assessment. Store in a dry environment to prevent further rust.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High Safe Working Load (2 Ton) for significant lifting capacity.
  • Durable and safe construction with drop-forged, heat-treated hooks.
  • Compliance with international safety standards (BS EN 13157).
  • Includes a test certificate for verified performance.
  • Lightweight design aids in portability and ease of use.
  • Smooth operation thanks to the integrated chain guide.

Cons

  • Color may vary from images, which could be a concern for specific aesthetic requirements.
  • Requires careful inspection before each use to ensure safety.
  • Hand chain length (9.8 Metres) might be limiting in very large spaces if not managed properly.
  • Minimum distance between hooks (460MM) may influence clearance in tight applications.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This chain block is designed for immediate use once attached to a suitable overhead support structure (e.g., a robust I-beam or a certified lifting point). Ensure the support is rated to handle at least the Safe Working Load of the chain block plus the load being lifted.

Compatibility: Compatible with standard lifting beams and overhead suspension points. It is designed for vertical lifting applications.

Care and Maintenance:

  1. Inspection: Before each use, visually inspect the chain, hooks, and casing for any signs of wear, damage, or deformation. Check that the chain runs freely.
  2. Lubrication: Periodically lubricate the load chain and internal mechanisms with a suitable lubricant to ensure smooth operation and prevent rust. Refer to the manufacturer's recommendations if available.
  3. Storage: Store the chain block in a clean, dry environment, protected from moisture and corrosive elements. Avoid storing it where it could be damaged by falling objects.
  4. Load Limits: Never exceed the 2 Ton (2000KG) Safe Working Load. Overloading can lead to catastrophic failure and severe injury.
  5. Testing: Regular professional inspection and testing according to local regulations are recommended, especially for frequent or critical use.
