Overview

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.

Advantages

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.

Configurations

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.

Standards & compliance

Designed and certified to published standards.

FAQs

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.
