The brand new Viper mini chain block is the most compact manual chain hoist in the Viper series and has a 250kg rated capacity.
The compact design of the Viper mini manual chain hoist means that it's great where space is limited. Its length from the top hook to the bottom hook inclusive is much less than the size of the standard Viper chain block. The width and depth measurements are smaller too.
Despite its small physical size it can still handle 250kg loads and meets all the required standards including BS EN 13157. The grade 80 load chain (T-fine tolerance calibrated) meets working load limit performance requirements BS EN 818-7.
The hand chain is electro-galvanised and the hooks have heavy duty cast latches.
Supplied with a matt black finish and a 3 metre height of lift as standard although up to 12 metres and more are possible on request.
The high performance materials include sealed bearings for optimum protection whilst enabling total repair flexibility.
The Viper mini has a minimum breaking load strength of 4 times the stated working load limit. That said, this is a sign of its strength and safety margins and it shouldn't be used at 4 x WLL.
Fleeting or cross hauling scenarios are not recommended, however may be under specific guidelines, please read the attachment in the specifications for all the details.
Full certification is available.
At Lifting Gear Direct we try to supply a wide range of equipment to cover the majority of lifting tasks as no two are the same. Where space is tight but lifting heavy loads is necessary then we have a number of compact chain blocks to compare.
Alongside this new Viper mini we can supply the Yale 360 mini chain block as well as the Kito Cx manual chain block. Whilst the viper mini has a height/length of 250mm Vs 245mm & 217mm respectively it is slightly wider and deeper than the other two models.
Compare the full specifications on each model's relevant page to find out the exact details.
