HOME >> PRODUCTS >> MANUAL HOIST >> MANUAL CHAIN HOIST
A portable manual chain hoist designed for reliable lifting in factories, warehouses, construction sites, mines, farms, and docks. Featuring high lifting efficiency, compact construction, and easy hand operation, it is ideal for equipment installation, cargo loading and unloading, and lifting tasks in areas without power supply. With capacities from 0.5T to 20T, it can also be mounted on a compatible trolley for horizontal movement along overhead beams and monorail systems.
The SK Series Chain Hoist is a portable hand-chain-operated lifting device that pairs a rugged, compact hoist body with a precision gear drive, delivering steady and dependable vertical lifting performance. It can be attached to any type of trolley to function as a traveling chain hoist, adding manual horizontal travel capability along overhead rails in addition to vertical load handling.
Available in capacities from 0.5 ton up to 20 ton — with standard lifting heights of 2.5 m for 0.5–2 ton models and 3 m for 3–20 ton models — it is purpose-built for equipment installation and goods loading & unloading across factories, mines, farms, construction sites, wharves, docks and warehouses. It is especially advantageous for lifting work in open-air environments and worksites with no available power supply, and fits seamlessly into monorail overhead conveying systems, hand travelling cranes and jib cranes.
It is engineered for safe, reliable operation with minimal maintenance needs. Core advantages include high lifting efficiency with low hand pull effort, lightweight construction for easy on-site handling, a compact footprint with a clean appearance, and long-term durability for continuous daily service.
Manufactured in strict compliance with the EN 13157 standard, the hoist delivers safe and reliable operation with a well-proven stable transmission structure. It requires minimal routine maintenance, supports long-term continuous stable operation, and effectively cuts down equipment maintenance and downtime costs.
Fitted with a precisely optimized gear drive system, it achieves high lifting efficiency. The hand pull force required under rated full load is remarkably low, enabling smooth single-person operation and greatly reducing the physical burden on operators.
Light in dead weight and compact in dimensions with a neat, refined appearance, it is easy to transport, install and reposition on site. It works both for fixed-point lifting and can be paired with various trolleys, fitting a wide range of lifting scenarios including monorail overhead conveying systems, hand travelling cranes and jib cranes.
1. Its core load-bearing components boast high strength and excellent wear resistance, adapting to diverse harsh working conditions such as factories, mines, construction sites and open-air worksites without power supply. It maintains stable performance throughout long-term service, with outstanding overall durability.
Not every lifting job requires electric power or motorized travel. Where a load is lifted and lowered at sites with no access to mains power — open-air construction sites, mines, farms, remote docks or temporary work bays — a hand chain hoist gets the job done at lower upfront cost and with far simpler maintenance than an electric or trolley-mounted unit. The SK Series is built for exactly that: dependable, flexible manual lifting for both fixed-point and portable applications.
Which SK Model Fits Your Job? If you need ultra-lightweight, highly portable lifting for light-duty tasks and tight working spaces, the SK-0.5T to SK-2T models deliver compact dimensions and effortless one-person handling.
If you require medium-to-heavy load capacity for routine factory, warehouse and construction lifting, the SK-3T to SK-10T models offer robust build quality and reliable performance for daily operation.
For heavy-duty lifting in large engineering, port and heavy industrial scenarios, the SK-15T and SK-20T models provide high load capacity with stable, heavy-grade durability.
