​
Basically a chain pulley block works by attaching a load, and subsequently pulling down on one of the chains, the chain runs over a gear to raise the load, this increases the mechanical work being carried out by the gear ratio inside the devices housing.
​
Chain pulley blocks are available in various forms with differing lifting capacities; Some varieties of these chain pulley blocks come with an integrated trolley for convenience, though a beam trolley can be purchased separately too. and there is also the popular 360 degree chain pulley block which allows full rotation to enable the user to work in nearly all positions, even above the load.
​
Chain pulley blocks have a brake system to allow the load to be held in a raised position. Most also have an overload prevention system for extra safety sometimes this may be an optional extra; other extras available are chain buckets, which keep the excess chain tidy and out of the way.

Also anywhere that using an electric hoist isn’t suitable due to lack of power supply or because of hazardous environments.
​
Chain pulley blocks are compact and therefore relatively portable and offer a great lifting solution for buildings with limited headroom and come in a diverse range with various load capabilities.
​
A popular choice in our lifting gear range is our manual chain blocks, available in a wide range of lifting capacities ranging from 1000kg up to 20,000kg and due to the fact that they are available in a variety of heights of lift there is a chain block suitable for the majority of manual lifting applications.
Lift-UP High quality Heavy duty chain pulley blocks incorporate a zinc plated hand chain as well as calibrated load chain in grade 80 steel. Both the top hook and load hook incorporate safety latches. These manual chain hoists / chain pulley blocks are maintenance friendly, requiring minimum effort to keep them running smoothly.
