What is Hand Chain Blocks

Hand chain blocks are a kind of light lifting equipment that can lift and lower heavy objects by manually operating the chain. They are composed of core components such as lifting sprockets, transmission gears, hooks and brakes. Its biggest feature is that it does not rely on electricity. It only needs to pull the chain to complete the precise lifting of several tons of heavy objects. It is especially suitable for working environments with inconvenient electricity or narrow space.

Working principle of hand chain blocks

Hand chain blocks are operated by pulling the hand chain. Specifically, the operator pulls the chain hard to push the internal gear system, which in turn drives the lifting device up and down to achieve the lifting and lowering of objects. Each time the chain is pulled, a certain load weight can be lifted. With its mechanical advantage, even a small force can achieve a large load lift. Hand chain blocks are usually equipped with a brake device to ensure that the load will not slide down after the chain is stopped.

Main advantages of hand chain blocks

  ● The simple manual operation method can be easily mastered even by operators without professional training.

  ● No power support is required, and the lifting task is completed entirely by manually pulling the chain or wire rope.

  ● Equipped with a brake device, it can ensure that the load will not slide or fall due to operating errors or pauses during operation.

  ● Usually made of high-strength steel or aluminum alloy, it is both light and durable.

  ● Simple and sturdy structure, can adapt to various working environments, including slippery, narrow, high or low temperature environments.
