Toho Chain Blocks, Electric Chain Hoists, Lever Hoists, Shackles & Lifting Equipment

Toho is a lifting equipment brand producing industrial and aluminium chain blocks, stainless steel chain blocks, electric chain hoists, lever hoists, wire rope builders hoists, screw pin bow and dee shackles, push trolleys, and pallet trucks for construction, manufacturing, workshop maintenance, rigging, and materials handling applications.

The lifting equipment range addresses the full spectrum from manual chain hoisting in locations without electric power infrastructure through to two-speed electric chain hoists for high-cycle industrial production lifting where speed of hook travel and precision of load positioning are production throughput factors.

Manual lifting equipment remains essential in a broad range of Australian industrial applications where electric hoists cannot be deployed — construction sites in the early stages of the programme before power infrastructure is complete; outdoor maintenance and rigging work without accessible three-phase power supply; confined space entries and tank inspections where electric equipment creates ignition risk in potentially flammable atmospheres; and remote mining and earthmoving maintenance where a simple, reliable chain block without electronic components is more practical and maintainable than electric alternatives.

The aluminium chain block series addresses weight in applications where the chain block must be frequently repositioned between lift points by a single operator — a significant advantage on scaffolding, elevated platforms, and shipbuilding where the weight of steel-body hoists contributes to operator fatigue and ergonomic injury risk over a full working shift of repeated repositioning.

Stainless steel chain blocks extend the range into corrosive environments where standard carbon steel hoists would corrode rapidly and require frequent replacement.

Toho’s electric hoist range covers single-phase supply for standard site and workshop power, and three-phase two-speed variants for production manufacturing environments where high daily lift cycles, variable speed control, and three-phase power are all available.

The shackle range provides WLL-marked, load-tested connection hardware for rigging assemblies using Toho hoists and third-party slings.

Toho Chain Blocks, Lever Hoists & Manual Lifting

Toho’s manual lifting range provides load-tested chain blocks and lever hoists for workshop maintenance, construction, and rigging applications where electric hoist infrastructure is not available or not suitable at the lift point.

• Toho Industrial Chain Block: A heavy-duty industrial chain block for workshop, factory, and construction lifting from overhead beams, gantries, or structural steel where a manually operated chain hoist provides the required lift capacity without electric power infrastructure at the lift point. The industrial chain block uses a hardened load chain and sealed mechanical gear mechanism providing smooth lifting and secure load holding at any point in the lift travel, with a safety brake that holds load positively when the operator releases the hand chain without the load drifting down under gravity.
• Toho Chain Block Aluminium: An aluminium body chain block providing a significant weight reduction compared to steel body hoists of equivalent rated capacity for applications where the chain block is frequently repositioned between lift points, moved by a single operator on scaffolding, or used in weight-sensitive overhead rigging systems where suspended equipment mass is limited by anchor point capacity. The aluminium construction reduces operator fatigue and the physical burden of carrying and positioning the hoist between lift points over a full working shift without compromising the rated lift capacity, safety factor, or operational performance of the hoist.
• Toho Chain Block Stainless Steel: A stainless steel body and chain block for lifting in corrosive, washdown, chemical processing, and marine environments where standard carbon steel hoists would corrode rapidly with consequent loss of structural integrity and load-bearing capability. The stainless construction provides resistance to cleaning chemical exposure in food processing facilities, salt spray and seawater in marine installations, process fluid splash in offshore and chemical plant, and the high-humidity, aggressive-atmosphere conditions of coastal industrial facilities where standard steel hoists require frequent inspection, maintenance, and replacement.
• Toho Industrial Lever Hoist: An industrial lever block for precise load positioning, controlled load tensioning, pulling, and incremental load lowering in maintenance rigging, structural alignment, and load restraint applications where the compact lever mechanism provides fine load control with each lever stroke and holds load securely with the internal load brake between strokes. Lever hoists are preferred over chain blocks for horizontal and angled pulling applications, load tensioning in rigging and securing systems, and confined-space lifting where overhead space for a chain block to develop a full hand-chain pull stroke is unavailable.
• Toho Compact Wire Rope Builders Hoist: A compact electric wire rope hoist for construction material lifting on building sites, scaffolding, and rooftop construction where a portable electric hoist provides efficient materials handling for bricks, tiles, block work, bagged materials, and bundled structural elements to elevated floors and rooftop work areas without the overhead crane infrastructure or scaffold material hoist systems required for larger-scale materials handling. The compact form factor allows temporary installation at building apertures and scaffold platforms where a full electric chain hoist gantry cannot be accommodated.
• Toho Remote Pendant for Builders Hoist: A remote control pendant for the Toho compact wire rope builders hoist, providing up and down hoist control from a distance so the operator does not need to stand directly under the suspended load and hook path during lifting and lowering operations. Remote pendant operation reduces the operator’s exposure to falling load and swinging hook risk during hoist positioning and load attachment at the hook, and allows the operator to observe both the lifting point above and the set-down area below without repositioning between hoist operations.

In many instances we can offer custom lift heights. Contact our team our team if you need help with special requirements.

Toho Electric Chain Hoists, Shackles & Materials Handling

Toho’s electric hoist, shackle, and materials handling range provides powered lifting and certified rigging connections for integrated overhead lifting system applications.

• Toho Electric Chain Hoist Single Phase: A single-phase 240V electric chain hoist for workshop, warehouse, and construction site lifting applications where three-phase power supply is not available at the lift point and single-phase supply from standard site or workshop power outlets must serve the hoist installation. Single-phase electric hoists extend powered lifting capability to smaller workshops, owner-operated facilities, and construction sites in the programme stages before three-phase electrical infrastructure is commissioned.
• Toho Electric Chain Hoist Three Phase 2 Speed: A three-phase two-speed electric chain hoist for industrial manufacturing, engineering, and maintenance environments with three-phase power supply and high daily lift cycle requirements. The dual-speed motor provides slow-speed creep for precise load positioning at the hook in sensitive assembly and installation operations, and high-speed rapid travel for fast empty hook return and large lift increment movements that dominate cycle time in high-throughput production lifting operations.
• Toho 2T Electric Chain Hoist With Electric Trolley 6m 240V: A 2-tonne single-phase electric chain hoist with an integral electric motor-driven trolley for horizontal traversal along the bottom flange of an overhead structural beam, providing both powered vertical lifting and powered horizontal load travel from a single pendant controller. The motorised trolley eliminates the manual push effort required for beam travel with a push trolley, allowing the operator to position loads precisely at any point along the beam run with pendant control, improving productivity and reducing operator physical effort in production and maintenance lifting applications.
• Toho Yellow Screw Pin Bow Shackle Galvanised Grade S: A Grade S galvanised screw pin bow shackle for rigging connections between chain slings, wire rope slings, webbing slings, lifting hooks, and fixed lifting points in crane and hoist rigging assemblies. The bow (omega) body profile distributes load across the curved body for multi-sling-leg connections and basket hitch attachments, and the screw pin provides a removable, re-usable connection that can be opened and closed at the lift point without tools for efficient rigging on frequent lift cycles.
• Toho Yellow Screw Pin Dee Shackle Galvanised Grade S: A Grade S galvanised screw pin dee shackle for in-line rigging connections in single-leg sling configurations where the straight-sided dee body keeps the sling leg aligned along the shackle load axis to prevent the load from rotating the sling off-centre during the lift. Dee shackles are the correct choice for straight in-line connections between a single sling leg and a lift point, hook eye, or swivel fitting where the bow shackle’s wider body would allow lateral sling movement and angular loading on the pin.
• Toho Heavy Duty Pallet Truck 3.0T — 685 x 1200mm: A 3.0-tonne capacity heavy-duty manual pallet truck for moving palletised loads in warehouses, factories, production areas, and distribution centres where a forklift is unavailable or the aisle width and floor layout does not accommodate forklift operation. The 685 x 1200mm fork profile suits standard Australian pallet dimensions for full-pallet entry, and the heavy-duty hydraulic pump and load-holding valve provide smooth lift and controlled descent under full 3.0-tonne rated load without load runback or hydraulic creep during repositioning.
