Pacific PCB301 Chain Block, 0.25 tonne (250kg), 3m Lift

The Pacific Chain Block is a manual chain block with European zinc-plated grade 80 load chain, listed in the Pacific Hoists catalogue in capacities from 0.25 tonne to 10 tonne (manufacturer-stated). There are 15 models, with a lift of 3m or 6m.

The catalogue lists a brake lockout mechanism, a high-strength end stop with a secondary end anchor, encapsulated needle and side plate bearings, a gear system design, a UV-resistant coating and aluminium-free construction (manufacturer-stated). The load chain is CNC machined before heat treatment (manufacturer-stated).

For each model the catalogue gives the rated capacity, lift, hand chain drop, chain falls, load chain size and net weight. The 3m lift models have a 2m hand chain drop and the 6m lift models a 5m drop. Chain falls rise with capacity: 1 fall up to 2 tonne, 2 falls at 3 tonne and 5 tonne, and 4 falls at 10 tonne.

A version with overload protection is listed separately by the catalogue. The catalogue lists this range against Australian Standard AS1418.2 (manufacturer-stated). No certificate or test report is published for this product: if your site needs proof of compliance, ask for the maker's documents before you buy.

Common specifications

Key specifications

Figures are as printed in the Pacific Hoists catalogue (manufacturer-stated). Hand chain drop and lift are in metres, load chain size in millimetres.

Selecting 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. The hand chain drop is longer on the 6m models (5m against 2m). The 10 tonne model is listed in the 3m lift only in this listing. If you want overload protection, see the version with overload protection. 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.
