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 360° to allow for unwinding action of rope or stranded cable under tension.
Each unit bears a safety-instruction label in accordance with ANSI specifications, below.
