The CM Series 622 hand chain hoist is a compact, hand-operated lifting device suited for temporary rigging and maintenance tasks. It provides a reliable 1 ton (1000 kg) lifting capacity with 30 feet of load chain, featuring a hardened chain for durability and a low headroom design for use in confined spaces. This description focuses on rental use, presenting key features, typical applications, specifications, and what is supplied with the rental unit.

Key Features

• 1 ton maximum load, suitable for light to medium lifting tasks.
• 30 feet of hardened load chain for flexibility and long wear under repeated use.
• Compact, low headroom design and lightweight steel construction, allowing installation in tight or restricted areas.
• Weston-type load brake that requires no lubrication, providing consistent holding performance during lifts.
• Hand wheel cover with guide slots to minimize jamming and slipping of the hand chain.
• Forged swivel hooks with latches reduce chain twisting and prevent accidental unhooking when the chain is slack.
• Metric rated components and markings for international compatibility.

Use Cases

• Short-term rigging for construction, maintenance, and repair jobs.
• Workshops and factories needing a portable lifting solution for machinery or components.
• Events and installations where temporary hoisting of trusses, lighting, or AV equipment is required.
• Confined-space lifts where a compact, hand-operated hoist is preferable to powered equipment.
