Hand Chain Hoists

Where these are used

Hand chain hoists rated for explosive atmospheres are used where powered lifting is not permitted and the risk of a spark from the equipment itself has to be eliminated. Construction uses spark-resistant materials at the points where contact and friction occur.

Check the zone and the group

Certification is specific to the zone and to whether the hazard is gas or dust. Confirm both against the site classification before ordering.

Accessories matter

The suspension point, trolley, sling and shackle all enter the same atmosphere as the hoist. Specify suitable items throughout rather than rating the hoist alone.

Common questions
Is it operated any differently?

No. The lifting method is the same. What changes is that the equipment must not be modified or repaired with non-original parts.

Can I use it outside a hazardous area too?

Yes, it works as a standard hand chain hoist. The rating restricts nothing about ordinary use.

Which brands do you stock for Hand Chain Hoists?

We supply Yale. Ranges vary, so check the brand page for the full listing.
