A chain hoist uses gears to multiply force.

A chain hoist is operated by hand. An operator pulls the light loop chain on the side of the chain hoist. This turns a gear mechanism inside the chain hoist housing to turn the chain pulley. When this pulley turns, it raises the heavy chain which usually has a hook on the end. By pulling the light chain loop, the manual hoist is actually able to increase the force that is being applied by the heavy chain. This is caused by the gear ratios inside the manual chain hoist. The mechanical work done by the operator is the same as the work done by the heavy lifting chain.

How does a lever chain hoist work?

A lever chain hoist works by using a lever to lift heavy loads. As the operator pulls the lever down, it engages a ratcheting mechanism that lifts the load. The chain attached to the hoist is used to support and lower the load.


How do electric chain hoists work?

Electric chain hoists use an electric motor to power a chain mechanism that lifts and lowers heavy loads. When the motor is activated, it drives the chain to lift the load, and when the motor is reversed, the load is lowered. These hoists are commonly used in industrial settings for their efficiency and precision in handling heavy materials.

Either the load would not lift cleanly, it might tilt or swing; or the hoist attachment mechanism (e.g. sling or chain) may fail. It will depend on the load, the hoist and the particular error in attachment.
