DZ ALUMINUM CHAIN HOIST

A lightweight aluminum alloy hand chain hoist with 35CrMo heat-treated hooks, 20CrMnTi gears and Grade 80 galvanized chain — built for outdoor jobs, construction sites and corrosive environments where portability meets heavy-duty strength, not just bulky steel-bodied hoists.

Capacity25 – 500 kg
Standard lift2.5 m
Hand chain specifications3*16.5 mm
Load chain number of falls1
Effort required to lift max load210-250 N

Product Overview

The DZ series hand chain hoist pairs a rugged steel gear case with precision-machined 20CrMnTi gears and a Grade 80 galvanized load chain, delivering smooth, efficient lifting with corrosion resistance. Available in 0.25 t and 0.5 t capacities with a 2.5 m standard lift and single-chain configuration — requiring only 210–230 N of hand effort and weighing as little as 2.4 kg — it's built for warehouses, workshops, garages and job sites where a compact, portable lifting solution matters, not just fixed electric hoists.

Equipped with 35CrMo heat-treated alloy steel hooks that rotate 360° with heavy duty safety latches, an ergonomic handle and guide rollers to prevent chain slippage, every unit is factory-tested at 1.5 times the WLL in compliance with EN 13157. Check the specification table below to match the right model to your load.

Why Choose a Trolley-Mounted Electric Chain Hoist?

Not every lifting job requires powered equipment or a heavy steel-bodied hoist. Where loads need to be lifted at job sites without power, moved frequently between workstations, or operated in corrosive environments — outdoor construction, shipyards, chemical plants — an aluminum-bodied hand chain hoist delivers reliable lifting at a fraction of the weight, with no power supply and minimal maintenance. The DZ series is built for exactly that: lightweight, corrosion-resistant, portable manual lifting.


Which DZ model fits your job? If you need one-person portability for light-duty rigging and maintenance, the DZ-Al 0.25T (2.4 kg net weight, 2.5 m lift) is the most compact choice. If you require higher capacity for workshop and construction use, the DZ-Al 0.5T (3.9 kg net weight, 2.5 m lift) handles heavier loads while remaining easy to carry. Both feature 35CrMo heat-treated hooks, Grade 80 galvanized chain and 1.5× WLL factory testing to EN 13157. If you only need stationary lifting in a dry workshop, a standard steel-bodied hand chain hoist is the simpler, more economical option.Compare: DZ 0.25TCompare: DZ 0.5T

How to Select the Right Aluminum Hand Chain Hoist

01

Confirm you need portability, not just stationary lifting

If the hoist will be used at fixed workstations in a dry workshop, a standard steel-bodied hoist is the more economical choice. Select an aluminum-bodied model for job sites without power, frequent relocation between work areas, or corrosive environments such as shipyards and chemical plants.

02

Match capacity to your load

Choose from 0.25 t and 0.5 t capacities based on your heaviest rated load, plus a safety margin. The 0.25T requires only 210 N of hand effort and weighs 2.4 kg net; the 0.5T requires 230 N and weighs 3.9 kg net — both are designed for single-user operation.

03

Select lifting height and chain configuration

Standard lifting height is 2.5 m with a single-chain fall. Load chain specifications are 3.2×9 mm for the 0.25T and 4×12 mm for the 0.5T, both Grade 80 galvanized alloy steel. Custom lift heights are available — confirm your required headroom and lift distance before ordering.

04

Verify environment and certification requirements

Every unit is factory-tested at 1.5 times the WLL in compliance with EN 13157, and fitted with 35CrMo heat-treated alloy steel hooks with 360° rotation. For highly corrosive environments, confirm the galvanized chain finish and aluminum housing meet your site's corrosion protection standards.

Product Advantages

  • Built to EN 13157 European standard for verified safety and quality.

  • High-grade aluminum alloy body — lighter than steel, portable, and naturally corrosion-resistant.

  • Large inner-diameter upper and lower hooks — fully interchangeable, fit more rigging points.



  • Safety latches on both upper and lower hooks prevent load slippage.

  • High-strength load chain for reliable lifting; corrosion-resistant hand chain for harsh environments.

  • Closed housing protects internal parts from dust; flush bolts prevent snagging

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between the aluminum chain hoist and standard steel hand chain hoist?

The aluminum-bodied DZ series is lighter (2.4–3.9 kg net), more portable and naturally corrosion-resistant — ideal for power-free job sites, frequent relocation and corrosive environments. A standard steel-bodied hoist is more economical for fixed, dry workshop use.


What capacities does the DZ aluminum chain hoist come in?

The DZ aluminum series covers 0.25 t and 0.5 t capacities, both with a standard 2.5 m lifting height and single-chain configuration.


How much hand effort is needed to lift the maximum load?

The 0.25T requires only 210 N of hand effort and weighs 2.4 kg net; the 0.5T requires 230 N and weighs 3.9 kg net. Both are designed for single-user operation.


What safety features are included?

Manufactured to EN 13157, both upper and lower hooks are fitted with safety latches to prevent load slippage. Every unit is factory-tested at 1.5 times the WLL (375 kg for 0.25T, 750 kg for 0.5T) and features a closed dust-proof housing.


Is the hoist suitable for outdoor or corrosive environments?

Yes — the aluminum alloy housing offers natural corrosion resistance, the hand chain is highly corrosion-resistant, and body shell bolts sit flush with the surface. It is well suited for outdoor, humid, coastal and chemical plant environments.
