Detailed explanation of application areas and product specifications of lever chain hoist

1、 Application Fields

The lever chain crane, with its lightweight, flexible, and low-cost characteristics, is widely used in the following scenarios:

Small industrial and commercial venues

Factory workshop: used for lifting materials such as wood, boards, and finished furniture to meet the flexible handling needs of different processing areas.

Warehouse logistics: auxiliary cargo loading and unloading, especially suitable for environments with limited space or inconvenient power supply.

Construction site: lifting small building materials, tools or equipment, such as steel bars, concrete components, etc.

Equipment maintenance and installation

Individual repair shop: dismantling or installing heavy machinery components such as engines, transmissions, etc.

Power repair: Quickly hoist equipment or cables during outdoor operations to meet emergency maintenance needs.

Special scenario requirements

Chemical enterprise tank cleaning: Manual operation reduces electrical risks in explosion-proof or corrosive environments.

Renovation of old buildings: Lifting materials in narrow spaces to avoid difficulties in accessing large equipment.

Temporary or lightweight tasks

Exhibition arrangement: Lift exhibits or decorations and quickly adjust their positions.

Agricultural operations: lifting agricultural tools, feed bags, etc., to adapt to the field or farm environment.

2、 Product specifications and parameters

The specifications of a lever chain crane are based on the lifting capacity and chain diameter, and the common models and parameters are as follows:

1. Range of lifting capacity

Light (0.5-3 tons):

Suitable for daily handling, such as furniture manufacturing and warehouse loading and unloading.

Typical models: 0.5 tons, 1 ton, 2 tons, 3 tons.

Example: Yingpu hand-operated hoist in Baoding, Hebei, with a lifting capacity of 3 tons and a standard lifting height of 1.5 meters. The operating method is lever lifting.

Medium (5-10 tons):

Used for equipment maintenance or lifting of medium-sized components, such as in the fields of automotive manufacturing and aerospace.

Typical models: 5 tons, 10 tons.

Heavy duty (20 tons and above):

Suitable for large-scale projects such as wind power equipment installation and bridge construction.

It needs to be used in conjunction with truss structures or double beam cranes.

2. Chain specifications

Diameter and Material:

6mm, 8mm chains: lightweight equipment such as chain hoists.

10mm and 13mm chains: medium-sized equipment such as hand-operated hoists.

16mm and 20mm chains: Heavy equipment such as bridge cranes.

The material is mostly 80 manganese steel, which balances strength and wear resistance.

Length and customization:

Standard length: 3 meters or 6 meters.

Can be customized according to needs to adapt to different lifting heights.

3. Other key parameters

Increase speed:

Manual operation type: about 6 meters per minute (such as Yingpu hand-operated hoist).

Electric assisted type: adjustable speed to improve efficiency.

Safety design:

Overload protection: prevent equipment damage caused by overload.

Anti slip handle: enhances operational stability.

Self locking device: prevents accidental falling of heavy objects when they are suspended in the air.

Structure type:

Hook type: Highly versatile and suitable for most scenarios.

Chain link type and hanging ring type: suitable for special lifting needs.

Folding portable: designed for outdoor or narrow spaces (such as popular models in the North American market).

3、 Selection suggestions

Select lifting capacity based on load requirements:

Lightweight tasks (<3 tons): Prioritize lightweight options to reduce costs.

Medium to heavy duty tasks (≥ 5 tons): Confirmation of chain diameter and structural strength is required.

Consider the homework environment:

Outdoor or corrosive environments: Choose stainless steel chains or rust resistant coatings.

Narrow space: Choose foldable or compact design.

Safety and Compliance:

Confirm that the product has passed certifications such as CE and ISO9001.

Regularly check the wear of the chain and the reliability of the braking system.

Cost and cost-effectiveness:

Products in the Asia Pacific market (such as China) have high cost-effectiveness and are suitable for users with limited budgets.

Products in the European and American markets emphasize humanized design, but the prices are relatively high.
