HOME >> PRODUCTS >> MANUAL HOIST >> MANUAL CHAIN HOIST
A heavy-duty manual chain hoist designed for reliable lifting in industrial and commercial applications. Featuring a double pawl braking system, smooth operation, and a compact structure, it ensures dependable performance with reduced manual effort. Equipped with a high-strength Grade 80 alloy steel load chain with galvanized finish, it offers excellent durability and corrosion resistance. Available in capacities from 0.5T to 20T, it is ideal for factories, warehouses, construction sites, and equipment installation.
The CK Series hand chain hoist pairs a rugged hoist body with a multi-point supported precision gear drive, delivering smooth, efficient vertical lifting with light hand pull effort. Manufactured to EN 13157 standard and available in capacities from 0.5 ton up to 20 ton (full range extends to 50 ton) with standard lifting heights of 2.5 m to 3 m, it is purpose-built for equipment installation, goods loading and unloading across factories, mines, farms, construction sites, wharves, docks and warehouses, and excels at open-air lifting jobs and worksites with no access to power.
It features a double pawl safety mechanism that doubles the safety factor, anti-slip nuts across all fasteners for reliable retention, and a high-strength Grade 80 galvanized alloy steel load chain compliant with EN 818 (safety factor of 4) for excellent corrosion resistance and long service life. It can be mounted to any manual trolley to add horizontal travel capability, fitting seamlessly into monorail overhead conveying systems, hand travelling cranes and jib cranes.
Manufactured to EN 13157 standard, it comes with a dual-pawl brake that doubles the safety factor. All fasteners are fitted with anti-slip nuts for secure, reliable load holding.
The multi-point support structure significantly reduces failure rate. Its precision gear train delivers smooth rotation, high lifting efficiency and low hand pull effort.
Equipped with high-strength Grade 80 alloy steel load chain with galvanized corrosion-resistant finish, it complies with EN 818 standard with a 4:1 safety factor.
Capacities range from 0.5t to 20t (extendable to 50t) with customizable lifting heights. It can be paired with manual trolleys, adapting to various lifting scenarios and overhead crane systems.
Not every lifting job requires electric power or motorized travel. Where loads are lifted and lowered at sites without mains access — open-air construction sites, mines, farms, remote docks or temporary work zones — a hand chain hoist performs the task at lower upfront cost and with significantly simpler maintenance than electric or powered trolley units. The CK Series is purpose-built for exactly that: reliable, heavy-duty manual lifting for both fixed-point and portable applications.
Which CK model fits your job? If you have limited working space and need lightweight, portable lifting for light-to-medium duties, the CK-0.5T to CK-2T models feature a compact footprint and low headroom for tight environments.
If your load needs to travel along an overhead beam or runway, any CK hoist can be paired with a manual trolley to add smooth horizontal traverse movement.
If you require high-capacity lifting for heavy industrial, port or large construction projects, the CK-10T and CK-20T models deliver robust construction and exceptional long-term durability.

If the load only needs vertical lifting at a fixed point, the standard hook-suspended CK hand chain hoist is the simpler, more cost-effective choice. It can also be paired with a manual trolley for horizontal travel.
Choose from 0.5 ton up to 20 ton (full range extends to 50 ton) based on your heaviest working load, plus an appropriate safety margin.
Confirm the minimum headroom dimension (Hmin) of the selected model fits your site’s vertical working space before ordering.
Standard lifting height is 2.5 m for light-duty models and 3 m for heavy-duty models. All units come with Grade 80 galvanized load chain, and custom extended chain length is available on request.
