Product description
Hand chain block for lifting from a fixed point or a beam trolley. Pulling the hand chain turns a geared load sheave, and an automatic brake holds the load wherever the chain is released. This type runs from 0.5 t to 50 t, with a single fall of chain up to 2 t.
Sizes and ratings
10 sizes, 0.5 t to 50 t. Rated load 0.5 to 50 t. Every size has its own Indus part number in the table below, with the loads in the unit the manufacturer rates them in. The lettered dimensions refer to the dimension drawing in the gallery.
Choosing a size
Choose by capacity and by the height of lift you need; the standard lift is listed, and longer load and hand chains are made to order. Hang the block from a rated anchorage and keep the load in line under the top hook.
Ordering
Quote the Indus part number from the size table, or send the size and working load you need. Each consignment ships with the manufacturer's test certificate; say on the RFQ if your site needs anything more.

Size — Nominal size as the manufacturer states it. WLL — Working load limit — the most the part may carry in service, as the manufacturer rates it. Standard lift — Lift supplied as standard; longer lifts to order. Load chain — Diameter of the load chain. Falls — Number of falls of load chain. A — Dimension A on the manufacturer dimension drawing. B — Dimension B on the manufacturer dimension drawing. C — Dimension C on the manufacturer dimension drawing. Weight — Weight as the manufacturer publishes it. Ask us for the dimension drawing if you need it stamped.
WLL is the most the part may carry in service. Proof and breaking loads are test figures — never lift to them. Each load is shown in the unit the manufacturer rates the part in, and a size ships with the manufacturer’s test certificate.
