Beaver 3S Steel Pro Chain Block, 250 kg, 1.5 m Lift (505025)

The Beaver 3S Steel Pro chain block, code 505025, is a compact 250 kg chain block with a 1.5 m standard lift, which Beaver describes as compact, lightweight and rugged and weighing 4.86 kg (manufacturer-stated). Beaver aims it at small to medium lifting, extraction and lowering jobs and says it is small enough to carry (manufacturer-stated).

Beaver states the block complies with AS 1418.2 (manufacturer-stated) and supplies it with an individual test certificate and an operation manual (manufacturer-stated). Beaver's Steel Pro data sheet does not say the block is for vertical lifts only, but Beaver does say that of its 3S industrial chain blocks, so use it for vertical lifts and have it checked by a qualified rigger if you plan anything else. Beaver publishes no proof load or breaking load. Lifting equipment must be used within its marked working load limit (WLL), inspected before each use, and selected and used in line with your site lifting procedure and the relevant Australian Standards. If you are unsure what suits your lift, contact AIMS or a qualified rigger before ordering.

Key specifications

Figures are from Beaver's Steel Pro chain block data sheet and website. Beaver does not define dimensions A to C. Beaver's manual lists a different 250 kg chain block, code 503025, with a 1.5 m lift; the figures here are for code 505025.

Selecting the right option

The 250 kg rated capacity is the most this block is rated to lift, so allow for the weight of slings and shackles. Check the 285 mm headroom H against your hook point, and the 1.5 m standard lift against the height you need.
