Dayton Manual Chain Hoist 3T 15ft Lift

This Dayton manual chain hoist provides a maximum lifting capacity of 6,000 lb with a 15 ft lift height. It is built for industrial maintenance, construction sites, and workshop environments where heavy loads must be raised or positioned without electrical power. The alloy steel Grade 80 chain and steel body construction suit demanding daily use. Operators who need powered speed or remote operation should select an electric alternative.

Practical limits of manual chain operation

The hoist requires physical effort to pull the hand chain through the double disc Weston-style brake mechanism. Lifting speed depends entirely on operator force and endurance, making repeated high lifts slower than powered units. The 31 1/2 ft chain length accommodates the 15 ft lift while leaving sufficient slack for the operating loop. Load control relies on the brake holding position instantly when the hand chain is released.

Installation and common issues

The hook-mounted design attaches directly to a suitable overhead anchor point without a trolley, requiring a structure rated for the full 6,000 lb capacity. The 21 1/4 in headroom must clear the workspace below the mount. The lifting hook includes a safety latch that must engage fully before loading. Misalignment of the hook or twisted chain links during setup are the most frequent causes of binding or uneven lifting.
