Key specifications

Choosing the right option

Choose the capacity for the heaviest load, allowing for the weight of any rigging used with the block. For a stainless steel block for washdown or corrosive areas see the Toho stainless steel chain blocks. 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.

To move the load along a beam see the: Toho stainless steel push trolley, Toho Grade S bow shackles.
