Chain Hoist -A chain hoist is a mechanical device used for lifting and lowering heavy loads with the help of a chain. It operates using gears to multiply force, making it easier to lift heavy objects with minimal effort.
Types of Chain Hoists:
1. Manual Chain Hoist – Operated by pulling a hand chain, commonly used in workshops and garages.
2. Electric Chain Hoist – Uses an electric motor for lifting, ideal for industrial and construction applications.
Key Components:
Load Chain – The main lifting chain that bears the load.
Hand Chain – Used in manual hoists to operate the gears.
Lifting Hook – Attaches the hoist to the load.
Gears & Brake System – Controls the lifting motion and prevents the load from dropping.
Applications:
Construction sites
Warehouses
Manufacturing plants
Automotive workshops
