Dayton Chain Hoist 1/2 Ton 15 ft Lift
This manual chain hoist lifts up to 1,000 lb with a 15 ft maximum lifting length. It features a double disc brake of Weston style and Grade 80 alloy steel chain. The hook-mounted body requires no trolley for installation. A safety latch is fitted to the lifting hook.
Suits workshops needing a portable 1/2 ton hoist
Buyers who need powered lifting should look elsewhere. Builders who require a trolley for horizontal travel along a beam cannot use this hook-mounted unit. Operations demanding a lift height greater than 15 ft will find the chain length insufficient.
Double disc Weston brake holds the load securely
The double disc brake engages automatically to stop and hold the load at any position. Grade 80 alloy steel chain resists wear under heavy use. The 11 1/2 in headroom allows operation in spaces with limited vertical clearance.
Highlights
- 1,000 lb capacity lifts heavy loads

Questions about this item
What beam width is needed to mount the hook-mounted hoist?
The specifications list no minimum or maximum beam flange width for the hook mount, so the hoist can be suspended from any suitably rated overhead support.
Can the Grade 80 alloy-steel chain be used with an older single-disc brake unit?
The hoist is built with a Weston-style double disc brake matched to the Grade 80 chain; mixing brake types is not supported by the design.
How do I confirm the double disc brake is holding the rated 1,000 lb load?
Raise the load a short distance, stop hand-chain motion and verify the load remains stationary without drift.
