Challenger CLB205 Lever Block Gen II, 0.5 tonne (500kg), 1.5m Lift

The Challenger Lever Block is a hand lever chain hoist with a grade 80 load chain, listed in the Pacific Hoists catalogue in capacities from 0.25 tonne to 6.3 tonne (manufacturer-stated). This page lists 4 models, from 0.5 tonne to 3.2 tonne, each with a 1.5m lift.

The catalogue lists encapsulated bearings that reduce operator effort by 25% while lifting the rated load (manufacturer-stated), double pawl safety springs that prevent sticking, a cast hand wheel, and "T" type hooks (excluding the 250kg capacity) (manufacturer-stated). The load chain is CNC machined before heat treatment (manufacturer-stated).

For each model the catalogue gives the rated capacity, lift, chain falls, load chain size and net weight. The 6.3 tonne model is on its own page, with 2 chain falls.

The catalogue lists this range against Australian Standard AS1418.2 (manufacturer-stated). No certificate or test report is shown on this page: 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). Lift is 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. Every model has a 1.5m lift, so check that is enough for the job: for a longer lift, use a chain block. For 6.3 tonne, see the separate 6.3 tonne model. 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.
