Time for an electronic chain hoist?

electric chain hoist
If you are a budding car restoration expert or a hobby mechanic, you will no doubt be in possession of a chain hoist, also known as a block and tackle.
These devices are a "must have" for hoisting engines out of the engine bay to allow work to be performed. It uses pulleys to hoist the chain from a device fixed to the ceiling of the workspace. The chain is pulled in a downward motion to hoist the engine to the required height.
The major disadvantage of a manual chain hoist is that it usually requires two hands to be used effectively. It also can require a lot of physical effort to hoist the object.
But that is where an electric chain hoist can be beneficial. An electric hoist can be operated at the touch of a button so it eliminates the need for manual handling. By taking out the physical aspect it will also reduce the chance of injury from twisting your body while hoisting the heavy object.
You will also be able to use any attachments from your old block and tackle such as lifting slings or other rigging equipment.
Before purchasing you may want to do some research online to ensure the device is capable of hoisting the required weight - weight is usually rated in tonnes. Two other thing to be aware of is the lift height and speed to ensure you get value for money from your purchase.
