Durable Chain Hoist & Blocks | Manual Lifting Solutions

Chain hoist systems remain indispensable in industrial lifting operations globally. As manufacturing demands evolve, understanding the latest technical specifications, safety standards, and application requirements for chain hoist equipment has become critical.

At Qingyuan Juli Hoisting Machinery Co., Ltd., we've manufactured premium manual chain hoist solutions for over 15 years. Our VD series hoists integrate the latest engineering innovations while maintaining core reliability. Key technical developments include:

Advanced load gear systems with 30% increased torque efficiency
Galvanized alloy steel chains meeting ISO 3077 standards
Fail-safe braking mechanisms preventing accidental descent
Ergonomic designs reducing operator fatigue by up to 40%

VD Chain Block Technical Superiority

The VD type hand chain hoist is engineered for maximum durability in harsh environments. Its sealed gear housing prevents particulate ingress while double-sealed bearings extend service life up to 10,000 operating cycles. The thermal-treated load sheave distributes stress evenly across chain links.

Chain Hoist Performance Trends

Industrial Applications

Manufacturing & Assembly

Manual chain hoist systems enable precision positioning of components during assembly processes. Their portability allows movement between workstations without fixed infrastructure.

Construction Projects

From material handling to structural installations, chain hoist block solutions provide reliability on sites without established power infrastructure.

Mining Operations

Our corrosion-resistant VD models endure harsh mining environments while providing fail-safe lifting capability in confined underground spaces.

Maintenance Operations

For equipment repair and component replacement, chain hoist systems provide controlled lifting force without requiring external power sources.

Expert FAQ: Chain Hoist Technical Specifications

Q1: What material standards apply to hoist chains?

A: Premium chain hoist block systems use Grade 80 alloy steel meeting ISO 3077 certification. Critical specifications include:

Tensile strength: ≥800 N/mm²
Proof load tested to 2× WLL
Impact resistance: ≥35J at -20°C

Q2: What lubrication is required for manual hoists?

A: ISO VG 220 synthetic gear oil for internal mechanisms. Chains require anti-wear grease with EP additives every 3 months of regular use.

Q3: How often should load testing be performed?

A: ASME B30.21 mandates proof testing at 125% WLL:

Annually for commercial use
Every 6 months for construction applications
Pre-operational testing after repairs

Q4: What's the working temperature range?

A: Standard manual chain hoist systems operate at -20°C to +65°C. Specialized models extend to -40°C using low-temperature alloys.

Q5: How calculate required working load limit?

A: SWL = (Weight × Dynamic Factor) + Safety Margin (typically 25%). Dynamic factors: 1.25-2.5 depending on motion characteristics.

Q6: What safety certifications are required?

A: CE (Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC), UKCA, AS/NZS 1891, with load testing documentation per ISO 17025 standards.

Q7: How maintain braking systems?

A: Automatic brakes require quarterly inspection of friction surfaces and spring mechanisms. Replacement recommended at 50% wear depth.
