Every CHANCE Hoist is proof-tested and factory-operated at 150% of capacity rating. Lightweight high-strength handle and sheave housings are heat-treated aluminum. All working parts are fully enclosed in the housing unit to protect the hoist mechanism and to cover the gearing for worker safety. Chain is high-strength alloy steel, polished for smooth action and low wear. Load hooks are forged steel with spring-loaded latches. Both top and bottom hooks swivel 360Ëš to allow for unwinding action of rope or stranded cable under tension. For easy hook-up, chain release to freewheel but only under no-load conditions. Controls automatically lock when hoist is pulling a load. Two simple levers . . . Shift Key for up and down, on top housing, and Release Key in handle recess . . . are easy to switch, even wearing gloves. Simply by ratcheting one or two clicks per stroke in up or down mode, operator can choose quick speed of a full link or half-link rate for extra accuracy. For cramped-quarters work, ratchet handle swings to either side. This provides option of push or pull stroke to best suit conditions and preferences.
