Chain Blocks

⛓️ Chain Blocks Buying Guide & FAQ – Aqua Rigging

🔍 What is a Chain Block?

A chain block, also known as a manual chain hoist or block and tackle, is a mechanical lifting device that allows operators to lift and lower heavy loads without electrical power. By pulling a hand chain, users can precisely control lifting with minimal effort, making chain blocks ideal for remote, hazardous, or power-limited environments.

🏗️ Where Can Chain Blocks Be Used?

Chain blocks are widely used in:

• Workshops, garages, and maintenance facilities
• Construction sites, scaffolding, and infrastructure projects
• Marine, shipyards, and offshore platforms
• Chemical plants and explosion-risk areas (ATEX models available)

All you need is a secure anchor point, and you're ready to lift safely and efficiently.

• Attach loads directly beneath the suspension hook

Never:

• Exceed rated capacity
