Series 653 Lever Chain Hoist - 3 Ton, Less Chain

Product Description

CM Series 653 lever chain hoists are rugged, manually operated tools designed for lifting, lowering, pulling, dragging, stretching, tensioning, and positioning loads in confined industrial work areas. These less-chain configurations provide the hoist mechanism without load chain, allowing a compatible chain assembly and required lift length to be selected separately. The listed models are available in 1-1/2, 3, and 6 Ton capacities.

The Series 653 uses steel-stamping construction for the frame, covers, and operating lever. Hardened load-sharing gears transfer the operator’s input through the drive mechanism, while two chain-guide rollers promote positive engagement with the correctly matched load chain. Forged upper and lower hooks with heavy-duty latches help retain properly seated lifting attachments, and a powder-coated finish provides additional corrosion protection.

A Weston-type braking system provides positive load control and positioning, while the double-pawl arrangement supports dependable mechanical engagement. Single-handed free chaining allows unloaded chain to be moved rapidly during hook positioning once the correct chain assembly has been installed. The 1-1/2 Ton model requires 51 lb of pull at rated load, and the 3 Ton model requires 77 lb; both use a 16-1/4 in lever and single-strand reeving.
