Key specifications

Choosing the right option

Choose the capacity on your heaviest lift and keep the load inside the rated capacity on the table, then choose the lift for the height you need: 3m or 6m. The hand chain drop is longer on the 6m models (5m against 2m), so check you have the room to pull it. Lifting equipment must be used within its rated capacity, inspected before each use, and selected and used in line with your site lifting procedure and the applicable standards and regulations. Do not use it to lift or lower people. If you are unsure what suits your lift, speak to a qualified rigger before ordering.
