FAQs

It depends what the load hangs from. A chain block hangs from something overhead and pulls vertically. A lever hoist anchors anywhere and pulls in any direction. A crane brings its own structure.

The range runs 0.5, 1, 2, 3 and 5 tonne. Capacity is chosen with margin over the load, since a lift is never perfectly vertical and the chain sees more than the static weight.

Enough to reach from the anchor point to the load and back, which is longer than the lift height alone. Chain length is stated per hoist rather than being assumed from capacity.

Where there is no room to pull a hand chain, or where the pull is not vertical. A lever hoist tensions sideways as well as lifting, which makes it a positioning and recovery tool at 0.75, 1.5 and 3 tonne.

Use a crane. An engine crane at 2 tonne rolls to the work and folds for storage, and a folding crane at 0.5 tonne covers lighter units in a smaller space.

Spanning an area rather than lifting from a single fixed point. A portable 1 tonne gantry can be positioned over the work and moved afterwards, which a fixed beam cannot.

How the load is going to be supported decides which of these three things you need. A chain block hangs from something overhead and pulls vertically. A lever hoist can be anchored anywhere and pulls in any direction, including sideways. An engine crane brings its own structure and stands on the floor. That question is settled before capacity, because a hoist with nothing to hang from is not a lifting solution at all.

Chain blocks are the simplest and are chosen on capacity and chain length, running 0.5, 1, 2, 3 and 5 tonne here. The chain has to be long enough to reach from the anchor point to the load and back, which is a longer figure than the lift height alone.

Lever hoists trade lift speed for versatility. Because the load is moved by a lever rather than a hand chain, they work where there is no room to pull a chain and can tension horizontally, at 0.75, 1.5 and 3 tonne. That makes them a recovery and positioning tool as much as a lifting one. Sealey run a hoist and crane estate alongside the Draper chain blocks and lever hoists.

Cranes matter where nothing overhead can be trusted. An engine crane at 2 tonne rolls to the work and folds for storage, a folding crane at 0.5 tonne suits lighter units, and a portable gantry crane at 1 tonne spans an area rather than lifting from one point.
