LIFTING & PULLING EQUIPMENTS

A chain block is a mechanism used to lift and lower heavy loads using a chain. Chain blocks contain two wheels around which the chain is wound. When the chain is pulled, it winds around the wheels and begins to lift the item that is attached to the rope or chain via a hook. They can also be attached to lifting slings or chain bags to lift the load more evenly. They are used in garages where they are able to remove engines from cars easily. Because they can be operated by one person, they are a wornderfully efficient way to complete jobs which may have taken more than two workers to do. Chain blocks are used on constructions sites where they can lift loads from higher levels, in assembly line factories to lift items to and from from the belt and sometiems even to winch cars from a treacherous terrain. They come in a wide variety of capacities making them suitable for a wide range of operations.
