For the weight of the chain
hoist, refer to the table.The following requirements must be met in order for the chain hoist to be mounted.
─ The supporting structure (steelwork, building, crane installation) from which the chain hoist is to be suspended must have a sufficient load capacity.
The load capacity of the supporting structure is derived from the weight of the chain hoist, the maximum load capacity of the chain hoist, the weight of the trolley (if applicable) and possibly the additional weight of the chain as well.
For the weight of the chain
hoist, refer to the table.
If the hook path of the chain
hoist is longer than 3 metres: Add the additional weight of the chain.

Table: Weight of the chain hoists. The specifications are based on a hook path of 3 metres.
Add the
maximum load capacity.
Only for trolley: Add the weight
of the trolley.
Check the entire supporting
structure as to whether it will support the expected load.
