Choose a manual chain block when you need controlled vertical lifting without an electrical or pneumatic power supply. Powerful Machinery supplies a hand chain hoist series for workshops, equipment installation, construction, and maintenance. Compare the available models, then send us the load, lift, headroom, suspension, and working-environment details for a technical quotation.
Start with the required capacity and lift, then open the relevant model page to check headroom, hand pull, load-chain size, hook dimensions and unit weight. If you are comparing several capacities for a distributor or project order, send one schedule showing the quantity and lift required for each capacity.
The tables below are a starting point, not a substitute for the current quotation and approved product data. Capacities are expressed in metric tonnes (t), not US short tons. Confirm the exact model, test load, lift, dimensions, chain configuration, and documents before ordering.

HS-VL Series
| Capacity (t) | Standard lift (m) | Test load (t) | Min. hook distance (mm) | Hand pull at full load (N) | Load-chain falls | Load-chain diameter (mm) | Net weight (kg) | Gross weight (kg) | Packing L×W×H (cm) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0.5 | 2.5 | 0.75 | 285 | 25 | 1 | 6.3 | 8.4 | 9.4 | 30×17×32 |

Calculate the complete suspended load, including lifting attachments. State the requested capacity and provide the top and bottom connection dimensions. Capacity alone does not confirm that the hooks or suspension will fit the installation.
Measure the required hook travel and the space available when the load is at its highest position. State the minimum headroom and where the operator will stand. A longer load chain increases travel, but it does not reduce the space occupied by the hoist body.
For a fixed installation, identify the supporting structure and suspension arrangement. If the hoist must travel along a beam, include the beam profile, flange width and thickness, travel distance and required trolley type. Ask us to check the hoist and trolley as one configuration.
For bulk, distributor, or repeat orders, send a line-by-line schedule rather than a general request for “chain blocks.” Include the capacity, lift, quantity, and destination for each line. List required markings, manuals, inspection or test documents, packaging, and branding separately.
Our quotation will identify the proposed series and model for each line item, clearly state what is included, and note any deviation from your specification. This gives your purchasing team a transparent basis for comparing product scope, pricing, and lead time, while reducing ambiguity before order confirmation.
In many markets, “chain block,” “hand chain block” and “manual chain hoist” refer to the same hand-operated lifting device. For a fuller definition and working-principle overview, read what a chain block is.
Yes, subject to current availability and commercial terms. List the quantity and lift required for each capacity, plus the destination, documents and packing arrangement, so the full order can be reviewed together.
Give the required hook travel, hand-chain drop and available headroom. Ask for the complete configuration to be confirmed for the selected model. Do not plan to extend the load chain with unapproved chain or connectors.
Send a clear nameplate photo, rated load, lift, suspension and connection dimensions, plus any change in the job or environment. A similar housing shape does not confirm a suitable replacement.
First, confirm that both quotations use the same capacity units, lift, suspension, and delivery scope. Then compare headroom, hook dimensions, hand pull, weight, included documents, and spare-parts information for the exact models offered.
Use the rated capacity marked for the exact hoist and never exceed it. For capacity terminology and selection factors, see how chain hoist capacity is specified
