A VC hand chain hoist with double-pawl safety that delivers smooth, light hand-pull operation — built for workshops, warehouses and maintenance sites that need dependable, power-free lifting, not just electric-powered hoists.
The VC hand chain hoist delivers smooth rotation, high efficiency and light hand pull, with a double-pawl mechanism that doubles the safety factor. Manufactured to EN 13157 with capacities from 0.5 to 50 tons, it features multi-point supporting for a low fault rate, anti-slip nuts throughout, and a hand cover with a special crimping process that keeps the hand chain from tilting or snapping. Fitted with high-strength Grade 80 alloy steel load chain with galvanized finish for corrosion resistance (compliant with EN 818, safety factor 4), it's built for industrial lifting where reliability and safety come first.
Operated entirely by hand with no power supply required, the VC 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 support design provide enhanced safety and a low failure rate.
Available from 0.5 Ton to 50 Ton, suitable for a wide range of heavy-duty lifting applications.
Optimized gear transmission delivers smooth rotation, high efficiency, and reduced hand-pulling effort.
Grade 80 alloy steel load chain with galvanized finish, complying with EN 818 with a 4:1 safety factor, offering excellent strength and corrosion resistance.
Not every lifting job needs a power supply or powered equipment. Where lifting is occasional or the worksite has no electricity — a workshop corner, a maintenance bay, a temporary work site — a hand chain hoist gets the job done at lower cost and with almost nothing to maintain. The VC is built for exactly that: dependable, manual fixed-point lifting, ready whenever you are.
Which VC fits your job?With capacities from 0.5 to 50 tons, the VC series covers light to heavy loads in one dependable range. If your site has no power supply, the VC is the simpler, more economical choice. If lifting is frequent and loads are heavy, ask us about electric options for comparison. If headroom is tight, contact us to confirm the right configuration for your installation.
