Chain Pulley
A chain pulley block, also known as a chain hoist or chain fall, is a mechanical device used to lift heavy loads using a chain. It consists of a wheel or pulley over which a chain is passed, with a hook or shackle attached to the end of the chain for attaching to the load. The wheel or pulley is powered by a hand-crank or electric motor, which is used to lift the load by pulling the chain through the pulley.
Chain pulley blocks come in a variety of sizes and capacities, and can be used in a variety of settings, including construction sites, warehouses, and factories. They are commonly used for lifting and moving heavy loads such as machinery, equipment, and materials. They can also be used in combination with other types of rigging equipment, such as slings and shackles, to create a more versatile and efficient rigging system.
Chain pulley blocks are known for their strength and durability, and are able to handle heavy loads with ease. They are also relatively simple to operate, which makes them a popular choice among workers in a variety of industries. However, they need to be maintained and inspected regularly to ensure safety and
