Description
HSZ Manual Chain Hoist for Industrial Lifting
and Material Handling
The HSZ Series Manual Chain Hoist is a
traditional round-body chain block designed for controlled
vertical lifting using manual hand-chain operation.
Its simple mechanical operating principle makes the HSZ suitable
for workshops, factories, warehouses, equipment installation,
construction and general industrial lifting where a dependable
manually operated hoist is required.
The current technical range covers rated capacities from
0.5T to 10T, with different load-chain
diameters, chain falls, lifting heights and hook distances
according to the selected model.

Built for Practical Manual Lifting
The HSZ Series combines a conventional manual chain-block
configuration with capacity-specific load-chain arrangements
for routine industrial lifting work.
Low Operating Effort
The HSZ is designed to provide practical manual lifting
performance while keeping the required hand-chain
operating effort controlled across the model range.
Alloy Steel Load Chain
Premium-grade alloy load chain is supplied as part of
the HSZ lifting system for industrial load-handling
applications.
Zinc-Plated Hand Chain
A zinc-plated hand chain is supplied as standard for
manual operation of the lifting mechanism.
Forged Heat-Treated Hooks
Drop-forged and professionally heat-treated hooks are
used to provide dependable attachment points during
lifting operations.
Round-Body Chain Block
The traditional round housing gives the HSZ series its
recognizable compact manual chain-block configuration.
0.5T–10T Listed Range
Seven currently listed capacities cover light lifting
through heavier industrial material-handling
requirements.
Capacity-Specific Load Chain Configuration
The HSZ Manual Chain Hoist uses different load-chain diameters
and numbers of chain falls according to the rated capacity of
the selected model.
0.5T & 1T
Both models use a 6 mm load chain with a single
load-chain fall.
1.5T
The 1.5T model uses an 8 mm load chain with a
single load-chain fall.
2T–5T
The 2T, 3T and 5T models use two load-chain falls,
with chain diameter matched to each capacity.
10T
The 10T model uses a 10 mm load chain with four
load-chain fall lines.
Drop-Forged and Heat-Treated Hooks
The HSZ series uses drop-forged hooks that are professionally
heat-treated as part of the load-supporting structure.
When selecting the correct model, the available installation
height should also be considered because the minimum distance
between the upper and lower hooks increases with rated capacity.
The listed minimum hook distance ranges from
240 mm for the 0.5T model to
700 mm for the 10T model.

Hand-Chain Operation Without Electrical Power
The HSZ operates through manual hand-chain input, allowing
vertical lifting without requiring an electric motor or
external electrical power source.
This operating principle makes manual chain hoists particularly
practical for fixed lifting points, temporary maintenance work
and industrial locations where simple mechanical lifting
equipment is preferred.
Typical Applications for the HSZ Chain Block
Factories & Workshops
Manual lifting of machinery, components and equipment
during assembly, repair and maintenance operations.
Equipment Installation
Controlled lifting and positioning of components during
machinery and equipment installation.
Warehouses
General lifting and material-handling work where a
manually operated chain hoist is appropriate.
Construction & Maintenance
Temporary lifting and maintenance tasks where portable
mechanical lifting equipment is required.
How to Select the Right HSZ Manual Chain Hoist
Select the appropriate HSZ model according to rated capacity,
lifting height, available installation space and expected
operating conditions.
01
Rated Capacity
Select a capacity that covers the maximum intended
working load. Current listed models include
0.5T, 1T, 1.5T, 2T, 3T, 5T and 10T.
02
Required Lifting Height
Standard lift is 2.5 m for the 0.5T, 1T and 1.5T
models, 3 m for the 2T, 3T and 5T models,
and 3.5 m for the 10T model.
03
Minimum Hook Distance
Check available vertical installation space against
the minimum distance between hooks shown in the
Specifications tab.
04
Operating Effort
Compare the full-load chain-pull values in the
Specifications tab when manual operating effort is
an important selection factor.
05
Load Chain Configuration
Chain diameter and number of load-chain falls differ
between capacities, so confirm the required model
configuration before ordering.

and never use the chain hoist for lifting personnel.
HSZ Manual Chain Hoist Ordering Questions
Does t mean a US short ton?
The listed capacities use metric tonnes: 1 t equals 1,000 kg. A metric tonne differs from a US short ton, so state the required load in kilograms when requesting a quotation.
What information is needed for a quotation?
Provide the HSZ model or required capacity, lifting height, available installation space, quantity and delivery destination. If the hoist will be used for temporary maintenance work, include the intended application and attachment arrangement.
