Yale HCH Chain Container for Yalelift 360

Accessory for Yale Yalelift 360 Hand Chain Hoist | Compatible 500 kg to 4,000 kg Yalelift 360 | CE & UKCA Marked

The Yale HCH metal chain container for Yalelift 360 is a purpose-built accessory providing organised storage for the slack end of the load chain during lifting operations. It mounts directly to the Yalelift 360 hoist body with no modification, sized to suit each combination of capacity and Height of Lift across the 500 kg to 4,000 kg standard range. Use one wherever slack chain would otherwise hang free below the hoist — particularly recommended for permanent overhead installations, hire fleet equipment, clean environments and high-cycle applications.

Key Features

• Direct attachment to Yalelift 360 hoist body: Mounts using existing fixings, no drilling or modification required.
• Steel construction: Robust steel container with corrosion-resistant finish.
• Full Yalelift 360 capacity range: Sizes available for the full Yalelift 360 range, 500 kg up to 20,000 kg, in multiple Height of Lift options.
• Special-order for ATEX, Arctic, and integrated trolley variants: Compatible containers are available for the Yalelift 360 ATEX, Arctic Edition, Yalelift IT (ITP / ITG), and Yalelift LH (LHP / LHG) ranges on request.
• Protects load chain from damage: Prevents trailing chain damage, contamination, and entanglement hazards.
• Improves work area safety: Eliminates trailing chain in the operator's working space.
• Easily detachable: Removable for cleaning, inspection, or chain replacement without disassembling the hoist.
• Yalelift 360 360° rotation compatible: Container design accommodates the 360° rotating hand chain guide of the Yalelift 360 without interfering with chain travel.

Technical Specifications

Article number mapping shown is indicative, container sizing depends on both Yalelift 360 capacity and Height of Lift. Contact our team to confirm the correct article number for your specific Yalelift 360 model and HOL specification. Special-order containers are available for non-standard HOL or for the Yalelift 360 ATEX, Arctic Edition, and Yalelift IT or LH variants.

More About This Product

The Yale HCH metal chain container for Yalelift 360 is a purpose-built accessory for the Yalelift 360 hoist range, providing organised storage for the slack end of the load chain during lifting operations. The container mounts directly to the Yalelift 360 hoist body, requiring no modification, and is sized to suit each combination of Yalelift 360 capacity and Height of Lift. The standard range covers Yalelift 360 capacities from 500 kg up to 4,000 kg in a range of HOL specifications. Use a chain container wherever the slack load chain would otherwise hang free below the hoist, where it can drag on the floor or load, snag on obstructions, or be damaged. The chain container is particularly recommended for permanent overhead installations, hire fleet equipment, clean environments, high-cycle applications, and any work area where chain housekeeping matters for safety, cleanliness, or chain protection.

Suitable Applications

Suitable for any Yalelift 360 installation where the slack chain would otherwise hang free. Particularly recommended for: permanent overhead lifting installations; hire fleet equipment; clean environments (food, pharmaceutical, electronics); high-cycle applications where chain wear is a concern; outdoor or exposed applications where chain debris is a problem; and any work area where trailing chain creates a hazard.

How to Use the Yale HCH Chain Container for Yalelift 360

1. Confirm container size: Verify the container article number matches your Yalelift 360 model AND Height of Lift.
2. Position the container under the hoist: The container hangs below the hoist body, attached at the body fixings.
3. Attach the container: Following installation instructions, secure the container using the supplied fixings. No additional drilling required.
4. Verify free chain travel: Manually operate the hoist through its full range of travel, confirming chain feeds smoothly into the container.
5. In use: Slack chain self-collects automatically as the hoist lifts.
6. Periodic inspection: Inspect the container at each LOLER examination.

Warning:
Yale hoists and trolleys are not designed for passenger elevation applications. The chain container must be sized correctly for the Yalelift 360 capacity AND HOL. An undersized container can cause the chain to back up and bind, preventing further operation.

Safety Information

• Verify the container article number matches your Yalelift 360 model and HOL.
• Inspect the container at each LOLER examination.
• Never exceed the Yalelift 360 rated HOL, the container is sized for the specified HOL only.
• Container must be removed before transporting the hoist.

Inspection and Maintenance

Inspect the chain container at each LOLER examination. Check for free chain travel, body damage or corrosion, and mounting integrity. The container requires no routine lubrication or service. Replace if damage compromises function. WOLFF Onsite supplies replacement containers and provides LOLER inspection services.

Optional Accessories

• Yale HCH Fabric Chain Bag: Lightweight alternative for portable applications. See HCH Fabric Chain Bag product.
• Replacement mounting hardware: Available as a kit.
• Special-order containers: For non-standard HOL or for Yalelift 360 ATEX, Arctic Edition, and integrated trolley variants.
