Two chain pulley blocks. Pick the one built for your duty.
LOADMATE manual chain pulley blocks lift precisely with hand power alone — no electricity needed. Choose the portable block for everyday and field use, or the heavy-duty block for higher capacities and constant shop-floor work.
LOADMATE is a chain pulley block manufacturer based in Surat, Gujarat, making manual chain blocks since 1991. As the manufacturer, we build and load-test every chain pulley block in-house to IS 3832, and supply across India and to 30+ countries.
Self-contained hand chain block — smaller capacities are light enough to carry to the job — ideal for occasional lifting and field maintenance.
Best for: maintenance teams, workshops, site work and stores — wherever you need dependable lifting without a power supply.
Reinforced heavy-duty block built for higher capacities and frequent shop-floor lifting, with hardened load chain and gearing.
Best for: fabrication, heavy assembly and process plants that need higher-capacity manual lifting in regular use.
The differences that actually drive the decision — capacity, lift, duty and cost.
| Portable Block | HD Series | |
|---|---|---|
| Lifting capacity | 0.5–50 T | Up to 50 T |
| Standard lift | 3 m standard rise (6 m+ on request) | Custom — to your need |
| Operation | Hand chain — manual | Hand chain — manual |
| Duty / use | Occasional, portable | Frequent, heavy-duty |
| Build | Light; smaller capacities easy to carry | Reinforced, hardened chain |
| Mounting | Hook / portable | Beam, trolley or fixed point |
| Design standard | IS 3832 | IS 3832 |
| Relative price | Lower — economical | Higher — heavy-duty |
Capacities and lift heights are typical — final figures are confirmed per your application on the product datasheet.
Run your requirement against these. If most points fall in one column, that’s your pick.
The everyday fit
The heavy-duty fit
Portable or heavy-duty, the engineering underneath is the same standard — built around safe, dependable manual lifting.
Manufactured to IS 3832 for hand-operated chain blocks, with a defined factor of safety on the load chain and hooks.
Sized load chain, forged hooks with safety latches and a robust brake hold the load securely and resist overload.
Efficient gearing and a precision hand chain give controlled, low-effort lifting — even at higher capacities.
Heat-treated load chain, alloy hooks and hardened gears specified for repeated industrial lifting.
Standard or extended lift height, with capacity and chain falls matched to your exact requirement.
Stocked and supported across India, with spares and service so a block is never out of action for long.
A starting point by sector — final selection always comes down to your load, span and duty cycle.
Plant maintenance, machine changeovers and breakdown jobs where a portable block goes straight to the work.
Often portableRegular shop-floor lifting and positioning of heavier sub-assemblies.
Usually HDConstruction sites, project work and stores with no power at the lifting point.
Often portableFrequent, higher-capacity manual lifting around pumps, valves and equipment.
Usually HDEngine, gearbox and component lifting in service shops.
Often portableLoading, unloading and stacking heavier items on a fixed beam or trolley.
Either — by loadBoth blocks are built in-house to IS 3832 and backed by a pan-India service team — the same standard behind every LOADMATE product.
Engineered for precision, built to last
A chain pulley block is a manual hoist: pulling the hand chain drives a geared load chain to lift up to 50 tonnes without electricity — portable, IS 3832 compliant lifting for sites, maintenance and rigging work.
For occasional lifts, no-power sites and portability, a chain block is unbeatable value. For frequent or production lifting, an electric chain hoist pays back quickly in speed and effort.
Match the block to your heaviest regular load with headroom to spare, checking lift height and suspension. LOADMATE’s Portable and HD series cover 0.5 to 50 tonnes to IS 3832.
No. They’re fully manual — you lift with the hand chain, so they work anywhere, including sites and areas with no electricity.
Yes. Both series can be supplied for hook, beam or trolley mounting — pair them with a manual or electric trolley to traverse the load along a beam.
Standard lift is 3 m (longer on request) and capacity scales with the series. Send your exact lift height and load and we’ll configure the right chain falls and capacity.
Yes. Blocks are built to IS 3832 and supplied with test certificates for your records and audits.
Share your load, lift height and how often you lift, and our engineers will recommend the right chain pulley block — with the exact capacity and chain falls for the job.
