JET VCH Series Standard Duty Chain Hoist - 12-1/16 in - 20 ft - 1 Ton

Product Description

The JET VCH Series Standard Duty Chain Hoist is a 1-ton rated manual chain hoist designed for load lifting, lowering, and positioning in industrial, construction, and maintenance environments where a reliable, portable overhead lifting solution is required. The hand chain-operated mechanism allows a single operator to lift and lower loads with controlled, incremental movement, making it well suited for machinery installation, load positioning, and maintenance operations in facilities without overhead crane infrastructure or in locations where powered hoists are impractical.

With a 20-foot lifting height and a minimum between-hooks distance of 12-1/16 inches, the VCH provides substantial lift travel for the majority of industrial overhead lifting applications. The 33 mm hook opening accommodates standard rigging hardware including shackles, rings, and beam clamps commonly used in overhead lifting configurations. A pull force of 68 lb on the hand chain is required to lift the rated load, making this hoist operable by a single worker without excessive physical effort. The compact body dimensions of 5-3/4 inch width by 5-1/2 inch depth allow the hoist to be used in confined overhead spaces where larger hoist bodies would be impractical.

The dual pawl Weston brake provides positive load holding when the hand chain is released, preventing unintended load lowering during lifting operations. The dual pawl design adds redundancy to the load-holding mechanism, an important safety feature in overhead lifting applications where uncontrolled load descent presents a serious hazard. The combination of 1-ton capacity, 20-foot lift height, dual pawl Weston brake, and compact body dimensions makes the JET VCH a dependable and versatile chain hoist for riggers, millwrights, maintenance technicians, and industrial workers.
