YATOINTO Chain Hoist 1 Ton(2200Lbs) Capacity 10 FT Manual Hand Lift Steel Chain Block Hoist with 2 Heavy Duty Hooks Industrial Grade Steel Structures for Garages Automotive Machinery (1 Ton (2200lb))

Bought this to help me pull a hydraulic motor out of my skid steer. I’m still procrastinating on doing the job because the leak isn’t that bad and there’s still another 500 hours before I need to change the fluid anyhow. So, there. Anyway, I have the hoist connected to some overhead trusses in my shop and am looking forward to using it. The mechanism works really easy and lifts the hook smoothly at a slow, consistent rate. And the capacity of it will handle remarkable weight. Very pleased so far.

Perfect for the job we bought it for

Great chain hoist. Basically a copy of an American made Tiger chain hoist. The chain NEVER gets stuck.

These chainfall hoists are great. They operate easily and hold their positions very well. After sitting under load for a while the downward chain often needs a quick tug to unlock, but it continues smoothly after that. I had been using a pair of ratcheting lever-chain hoists to lift a 220# hobby table to the ceiling in my basement. This meant reaching to the ceiling to operate the handles and leapfrogging safety chains on each side to guard against a hoist failure. I considered rigging a power winch, but that would have required a maze of pulleys and left me with a single point of failure. Now I have rigged four of these chainfall hoists, two on each side, and can raise and lower the table faster and much more easily. No flipping a pawl to reverse, no reaching up between the rafters and pipes to ratchet a few clicks at a time, no need for managing additional safety chains. The pair on each side are only 6 feet apart and can be operated together by one person to keep the table from twisting as it is lowered. Using four hoists is definitely overkill, but the installation was completed to existing lift points in minutes and the convenience and safety are well worth the expense.

Works great

Pretty handy around a DYI shop. I use it to lift heavier items to perform maintenance or replacement on tractor and mower parts. I couldn't say it would pull an engine, but it does well lifting cylinder heads off of blocks. Build quality seems fine for the cost.

Very nice little chain fall. Light weight and very well built. Reasonably priced.

Great small hoist. Seems small, but testing documents included state this hoist will lift 50% more that it's rated for. Small but very effective for it's size. Recommend tool.
