A small, light and strong hoists designed for all of the applications in the professional field such as transportation, bridge, general construction, civil engineering, shipbuilding, and forestry. Grade 100 chain uses a shorter and narrower link profile for greater surface area contact, which improves wear resistance and overall tensile strength. The hoist uses a Weston-style load brake with four braking surfaces, two brake pads and two brake pawls for added safety. Safety options such as load signal and overload limiter are available as well.
