Yale's entry level (medium duty) chain block, which supersedes the VS Plus.

Model:

VSIII / YVHC-4414

The Yale VSIII (VS 3) hand chain hoist is an innovative further development introduced by Yale. The improved hand chain guide prevents tilting or jamming of the hand chain, leading to a smooth running of the chain.

High-quality bearings on side plates, gearbox and load chain sheave ensure smooth operation of load chain and drive pinion. Optimised hand forces set standards for easy operation.

Features include

High-quality bearings for gearbox, side plates and load chain sheave for long service life.
Extremely low overall height allows for optimal use of headroom.
Suitable for fleeting.
Hooks are equipped with robust safety catches and can rotate 360 degrees.
Fully enclosed stamped steel housing allows for outdoor use.
Zinc-plated brake parts and guide rollers ensure increased corrosion protection.
Load chain is zinc-plated as standard for added corrosion protection.
Load chain sheave with needle bearing.
Capacities from 250kg up to 50,000kg

Optional Chain collector bag

Important: Any Yale chain hoist with a length of load chain above 6 metres must incorporate a chain collector fitted to ensure brake functionality.
