Manual chain hoists remain essential lifting tools across construction, industrial maintenance, fabrication, and rigging environments. Their mechanical advantage enables a single operator to lift heavy loads safely and precisely without electricity or hydraulics. This makes them ideal for remote locations, tight spaces, and controlled lifting scenarios where powered equipment may be impractical. Below are three examples from Protek Crane Solutions that highlight the range and capability of modern manual hoist designs.
Atlas Lifting and Rigging Titon TCH-100-10 – Ideal for Heavy Construction
The Atlas Lifting and Rigging Titon TCH-100-10 is engineered for demanding heavy-duty applications where reliability and strength are non-negotiable. With a 10-ton capacity, it provides exceptional lifting power while maintaining smooth, controlled operation through its precision-machined gearing. The hoist’s robust steel construction and corrosion-resistant finish make it suitable for harsh industrial environments, including shipyards, steel fabrication, and heavy construction. Its ergonomic hand chain design reduces operator fatigue, and the integrated safety features—such as load-limiting mechanisms and secure hook latches—ensure dependable performance. The Titon TCH-100-10 demonstrates how manual hoists can deliver high-capacity lifting without powered systems.
HARRINGTON CF030 Hand Chain Hoist – Durable Operation
The Harrington CF030 hand chain hoist is known for its lightweight yet durable construction, making it a favorite for maintenance crews and industrial technicians. With a 3-ton capacity and a generous 20-foot lift, it offers excellent versatility for overhead lifting, equipment installation, and material handling. The CF series features a compact frame, smooth-running bearings, and a reliable Weston-style brake that ensures secure load control. Its aluminum body reduces overall weight without compromising strength, allowing for easy transport and quick setup. This hoist is ideal for environments where frequent repositioning and dependable performance are essential.
HARRINGTON LB015 Lever Hoist – Rugged Precision
The Harrington LB015 lever hoist is designed for precision lifting, pulling, and tensioning tasks where control and maneuverability matter most. With a 1.5-ton capacity and 15-foot lift, it excels in tight or awkward spaces where a traditional hand chain hoist may be challenging to operate. The LB series is known for its rugged steel construction, low-effort lever action, and advanced braking system that maintains secure load positioning. Its compact size and ability to operate in any orientation make it ideal for rigging, equipment alignment, and field repairs. The LB015 showcases the adaptability of lever-style manual hoists in demanding work environments.
