Explosion-Proof Manual Chain Hoist
The explosion-proof manual chain hoist is a compact, manually operated lifting device designed for environments where mechanical sparks must be minimized. Its copper-alloy construction, durable gearing and simple hand-chain operation make it suitable for controlled lifting, installation and maintenance work in demanding industrial environments.

Key Features
- Spark-resistant construction designed for hazardous working environments
- Selected components manufactured from aluminum bronze and beryllium bronze
- H62 copper-alloy housing for improved spark resistance
- Heat-treated transmission gears for enhanced wear resistance
- Manual operation with no external electrical power required
- Compact size and relatively low self-weight for easier handling
- Smooth and controlled lifting through a mechanical hand-chain drive
- Can be combined with a compatible explosion-proof manual trolley
Spark-Resistant Construction
The hoist incorporates aluminum-bronze and beryllium-bronze components, while the outer housing is manufactured from H62 copper alloy. These materials are selected to reduce the possibility of mechanical sparks generated by friction or impact during lifting operations.
The transmission gears are heat treated to improve surface hardness and wear resistance, helping provide reliable mechanical performance during repeated lifting and lowering operations.
Manual Chain Drive
Lifting is controlled by pulling the hand chain, which rotates the hand chain wheel and transfers motion through the friction disc, ratchet, brake mechanism and internal gear train.
The gear system drives the load sheave, allowing the load chain to raise or lower the suspended load smoothly and in a controlled manner. Because no electrical drive is required, the hoist provides a simple lifting solution for locations where powered lifting equipment may not be suitable.

Product Selection
Select the appropriate model according to the required working load and lifting height. Standard lifting heights are listed in the specification table, while longer lifting heights can be configured according to project requirements.
When horizontal load movement is required, the chain hoist can be paired with a compatible explosion-proof manual trolley to create a manual lifting and travelling system.
