Manual Chain Hoist 2 Tonne Capacity
This Dayton manual chain hoist lifts loads up to 4,000 lb using a hand-operated chain mechanism. It provides 20 ft of vertical lift with a headroom of 17 1/4 in. The unit mounts via a top hook without an integrated trolley. A double disc Weston-style brake holds the load securely when the hand chain is released.
Suitable for Fixed-Point Vertical Lifting
This hoist suits workshops and job sites needing portable vertical lifting from a suitable overhead anchor. It is not for applications requiring horizontal load travel along a beam. Buyers needing powered operation or trolley-mounted movement should consider alternative equipment types.
Grade 80 Alloy Steel Load Chain
The load chain is Grade 80 alloy steel measuring 20 15/16 ft in length. This specification determines the working load limit and resistance to wear. The chain terminates in a lifting hook fitted with a safety latch for secure load attachment.

Questions about this item
How often does the Grade 80 alloy steel chain need inspection or replacement?
Inspect the Grade 80 alloy steel chain before each use and replace it if you find wear, stretch or damage beyond the manufacturer's limits.
What limits continuous lifting with the double disc Weston brake?
The double disc Weston brake holds the load securely, so the practical limit is operator fatigue rather than brake overheating.
Does the hoist generate noticeable noise or heat during all-day operation?
Manual operation produces only light chain noise and minimal heat, even during extended lifting sessions.
