Kito hand chain hoists are generally considered in the lifting industry at absolutely top of the range for quality. They are more expensive (as you may expect) though have an excellent reputation for reliability in the harshest of environments. The Kito high-class load chain with the breaking strength of 1000N/mm2 (100kgf/mm2) which constitutes the main factor for reliable and safe operation and the dry type braking mechanism provides excellent performance. The braking system, which makes up heart of the hand chain hoists, is enclosed in a double covers: the wheel and the brake covers. These protective covers not only keep out weather but also help to prevent mud and dust from entering internal workings. Hand chain guide attached to the wheel cover provides durability and smooth operation of a hand chain on a hand chain wheel. The Kito hand chain hoists range Model M3 is available through LiftingSafety capacities from 0.5t to 50t. Lighter weight, higher efficiency and more compact size, these hoists are invaluable for all lifting applications. This successful design derives from the development by the KITO’s smallest yet ultra-strong link load chain.
