Key Features of the Hacketts Dual Speed Chain Hoist

When this hoist is holding a load the lifting and lowering speeds are the same as a standard chain block, however when it is unloaded the bottom hook can be raised and lowered into your chosen position up to 5 x faster, this will make attaching a load much quicker therefore saving time. With a great choice of working load limits up to 50 tonne this chain hoist would be a very efficient purchase for the workplace.

Load sensing automatic speed transmission is incorporated into the design which is the first chain block to do so in this field. This feature enables smooth speed changes between high and standard speeds without the need for a neutral position.

An overload limiter is available on request and this hoist is fully tested, reliable and safe.
