A VC-B hand chain hoist with a double-pawl mechanism that doubles the safety factor and delivers smooth, light-pull operation — built for workshops, warehouses and field sites that need dependable, power-free lifting, not just electric-powered hoists.
The VC-B hand chain hoist pairs a double-pawl safety mechanism with multi-point supporting construction, delivering smooth rotation, high efficiency and light hand pull. Manufactured to EN 13157 with capacities from 0.5 to 50 tons, it's fitted with high-strength Grade 80 alloy steel load chain with galvanized finish for corrosion resistance (compliant with EN 818, safety factor 4), anti-slip nuts throughout, and a hand cover with a special crimping process that keeps the hand chain from tilting or snapping — built for workshops, warehouses and field sites that need dependable, power-free lifting, not just electric-powered hoists.
Operated entirely by hand with no power supply required, the VC-B is ready to use anywhere — share your required capacity and lift height, and we'll confirm the right configuration for your installation.
Double-pawl braking system and multi-point supporting structure enhance safety and reduce the risk of failure.
Available from 0.5 Ton to 50 Ton, suitable for a wide range of lifting applications.
High-efficiency transmission provides smooth rotation and light hand pulling, reducing operator effort.
Equipped with Grade 80 galvanized alloy steel load chain, complying with EN818 with a 4:1 safety factor for excellent strength and corrosion resistance.
Not every lifting job needs headroom optimization or powered equipment. Where a load is lifted and lowered at one fixed station — a workbench, a single assembly point, a maintenance bay — a hand chain hoist does the job at lower cost and with nothing to power or maintain. The VC-B is built for exactly that: dependable, power-free, fixed-point lifting.
Which VC-B fits your job? If your site has no power supply, the VC-B delivers reliable manual lifting at any fixed station. If loads are heavy or the environment is demanding, the VC-B's 0.5–50 t capacity, double-pawl safety mechanism (2× safety factor) and Grade 80 galvanized load chain (compliant with EN 818, safety factor 4) are built to handle it. If lifting is frequent and heavy, ask us about electric options for comparison.

If the load only needs to move vertically at a fixed point, the VC-B hand chain hoist is the simpler, more compact choice. For travel along the runway, an optional hand-pushed or hand-geared trolley is available【confirm】.
Choose from 0.5–50 tons based on your heaviest rated load, plus a safety margin.
Select the standard lift height for your application, or order extended load chain and hand chain lengths to suit.
Confirm the hook suspension arrangement — or, for trolley versions, that the trolley's flange width range matches your I-beam — before ordering.
EN13157 Standard-Compliant Quality
Wide 0.5–50 Ton Capacity Range
