Construction Hoists

A manual chain hoist, often called a chain block or construction hoist, is a hand-operated lifting device that raises and lowers loads by pulling a hand chain. Manual chain hoist hire from GAP Hire Solutions gives you precise, no-power lifting control wherever mains or battery power isn't practical. Our range is built for jobs where loads need to be lifted, positioned and held safely without electricity, and every hoist is supplied with a safe working load (SWL) rating and current LOLER thorough examination certification, so you can put it straight to work with confidence. Manual chain hoists and chain blocks are used to lift and position engines, pumps, machinery and structural components in workshops, plant rooms and on site, and to support rigging, installation and maintenance tasks where a compact, portable hoist is needed. Mechanics, riggers, maintenance engineers and installation teams hire manual chain block hoists because they're simple to operate, need no power supply, and hold a load securely at height without drift. GAP Hire Solutions has manual chain hoist hire available nationwide with fast depot delivery.
