Q. What is the maximum weight capacity of a chain hoist?

Answer

Chain Hoist 30. The Maximum Load Capacity of chain hoist is 1-Ton (2200 Lbs.) The weight is 43 Lbs. This is predetermined at the factory and is standard on all chain hoists. The hoist's built-in overload safeguards against operator abuse. When the overload is engaged, the hoist cannot be used. When the overload indicator lights up, stop lifting or stop tugging. Choose a chain hoist with a higher capacity, or talk to a lifting expert about other options. As a result of this design, the hand chain can be fed into the wheel sprocket from a wide variety of angles. This means the hoist can be used without worrying about the hand chain getting stuck, even if the operator is positioned to the side or even above the weight.
