FAQs

What is the Safe Working Load (SWL) of this chain block?

The Safe Working Load (SWL) is 20 Ton (20,000KG).

What is the length of the lift or lifting height?

The maximum lift height is 6 Metres (approximately 20 Foot).

What is the minimum distance between hooks?

The minimum distance between the top and bottom hooks is 95cm (950mm).

What safety standards does this product conform to?

This chain block conforms to BS EN 13157: 2004+A1: 2009 standards.

What is the factor of safety?

The factor of safety is 4:1, meaning the unit is designed to withstand four times its rated working load.

Is maintenance required for this chain block?

Yes, regular maintenance including lubrication, cleaning, and frequent inspections is crucial for safe and efficient operation. Professional inspections should also be performed regularly.

Can this chain block be used for side pulling?

No, this chain block is designed for vertical lifting only. Side pulling can cause damage and is extremely dangerous.

Troubleshooting

Chain not moving smoothly

Check for kinks or twists in the load chain. Ensure the chain is properly seated in the chain guide. Lubricate the load chain and internal mechanism.

Difficulty lifting the load

Verify the load is not exceeding the 20 Ton Safe Working Load. Ensure the unit is not side-loaded and is rigged vertically. Check for any obstructions.

Braking system not engaging or holding the load

Cease operation immediately. This indicates a critical failure. Do not use the unit. Contact a qualified service technician for inspection and repair. This is not a user-serviceable part.

Hook is difficult to open or close

Inspect the hook for damage or deformation. Ensure the safety latch is functioning correctly. Clean any debris from the latch mechanism. If damaged, the hook must be replaced.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High lifting capacity (20 Ton) for heavy-duty applications.
  • Durable construction with heat-treated safety hooks for reliability.
  • Designed for smooth chain operation, enhancing ease of use.
  • Meets recognized safety standards (BS EN 13157).
  • Includes a test certificate for quality assurance.

Cons

  • Significant weight and size require adequate space for operation and storage.
  • Requires trained operators due to its high capacity and potential hazards.
  • Not suitable for light-duty or occasional use.
  • Regular maintenance and inspection are critical for safe operation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Inspection: Before first use and after each use, thoroughly inspect the entire unit, including the chain, hooks, load brake, and housing, for any signs of damage, wear, or deformation. Ensure the test certificate is present.
  2. Rigging Point: Securely attach the chain block to a certified lifting point (e.g., a robust overhead beam, trolley, or gantry) that is rated for at least the working load limit (20 Ton) plus a safety margin.
  3. Load Attachment: Attach the load to the lower safety hook using appropriate lifting gear (slings, shackles) that are also rated for the load and compatible with the hook.

Compatibility:

  • This chain block is designed for vertical lifting applications. Ensure the lifting point and the load attachment points are directly above each other to avoid side loading.
  • The 10mm load chain is robust; ensure any attached slings or lifting accessories are compatible with this chain diameter.

Care and Maintenance:

  • Lubrication: Regularly lubricate the load chain and internal mechanism as per manufacturer recommendations to ensure smooth operation and prevent rust.
  • Cleaning: Keep the unit clean. Remove dirt, grease, and debris that could impede the chain's movement or damage internal components.
  • Storage: Store the chain block in a clean, dry environment, protected from the elements, moisture, and corrosive substances. Ensure the hooks are not left dangling where they can be damaged.
  • Regular Inspections: Perform frequent visual inspections for wear on the load chain (e.g., elongation, pitting), hook damage (e.g., distortion, cracks), and proper functioning of the braking mechanism. Follow a schedule for professional inspections as required by safety regulations.
