Dayton 49CX80 Lever Chain Hoist 6000 lb
The Dayton 49CX80 is a lever-operated chain hoist built for heavy industrial lifting and pulling tasks. It provides a maximum lifting capacity of 6000 lb and a maximum lifting length of 15 ft, making it suitable for construction, maintenance and rigging professionals who need reliable load control without electric power.
Double disc Weston brake and Grade 80 alloy chain
The hoist uses a double disc Weston-style brake that holds the load securely when the lever is released, reducing drift during positioning. Its Grade 80 alloy steel chain resists wear and deformation under repeated high-tension cycles, while the steel body construction dissipates operational heat without external cooling requirements.
Hook mount with safety latch and 16 ft chain length
The unit comes with a hook-mounted design that requires no trolley, allowing direct attachment to beams or anchor points. A 16 1/16 ft chain length is supplied, and the lifting hook includes a safety latch to prevent accidental load detachment during slack conditions. The 20 1/2 in headroom fits low-clearance work areas.

Questions about this item
How do I mount the 49CX80 lever chain hoist and what is the common mistake?
Hook the unit directly to the support structure; the frequent error is forgetting to close the safety latch on the lifting hook before applying the 6000 lb load.
Which part of the Dayton 49CX80 will need inspection or replacement over time?
The Grade 80 alloy steel chain and the double disc Weston brake are the wear items; check chain links for stretch and brake discs for glazing after heavy use.
What limits continuous operation of the 49CX80 hoist?
The 15 ft maximum lift height and 20 1/2 in headroom restrict travel distance; the operator’s lever effort and brake heat buildup become the practical limits during sustained pulling.
