Portable Chain Pulley Block
A light, self-contained hand chain block — no power needed — for occasional lifting and field maintenance. Capacities 0.5 to 20 tonnes, 6 m standard lift, designed to IS 3832.
Portable Chain Pulley Block.
The Portable Chain Pulley Block lifts with hand power alone — no electricity — so it works anywhere, including sites and areas with no power. A calibrated load chain, hardened gears and a Weston-type load brake hold the load securely.
Capacities 0.5 to 20 tonnes with a 6 m standard lift (extendable), light enough to carry to the job, and designed and tested to IS 3832.

Why a LOADMATE portable.
No power needed
Fully manual — works on sites and in areas with no electricity.
Portable
Light enough for one or two people to carry to the job.
Low hand-pull effort
Efficient gearing gives controlled lifting even at higher capacity.
Secure load holding
A Weston-type mechanical brake holds the load the moment the hand chain is released.
Durable & low-maintenance
Drop-forged body, hardened enclosed gears and calibrated chain.
IS 3832 built & tested
Manufactured and tested to the Indian Standard with a certificate.
Two ways to specify it.
Hook-suspended
Hangs from a beam, hook or structure — the simplest use.
Best for: Maintenance, site and field lifting.
Trolley-mounted
Mounted on a plain or geared trolley to traverse a beam.
Best for: Moving the load along a beam in a workshop.

Portable — technical questions.
Do chain pulley blocks need power?
No — they are fully manual. You lift with the hand chain, so they work anywhere, including sites with no electricity.
What capacity does the portable block cover?
0.5 to 20 tonnes with a 6 m standard lift. For higher capacities and frequent heavy use, see the HD series.
Can I mount it on a trolley?
Yes — it can be supplied for hook, beam or trolley mounting; pair it with a plain or geared trolley to traverse a beam.
What lift height can you supply?
6 m as standard, extendable to your requirement — tell us the lift you need.
How does it hold the load?
A Weston-type mechanical load brake holds the load securely the moment the hand chain is released.
Which standard applies?
IS 3832 for hand-operated chain pulley blocks, with ISO 9001:2015 and ZED Gold certification.
