Product questions and answers
Do two chain falls make this a 12 ton hoist?
No. Two falls describe the load-chain arrangement. The complete hoist is identified as 6 ton capacity; do not multiply that rating by the number of falls.
Is 5 ft enough space to install this hoist?
Five feet describes the lift configuration, not the full installed-space requirement. The listed headroom is 24-2/5 inches; also allow for the support, rigging and lever movement.
Does a 3 inch hook opening guarantee my attachment fits?
No. Throat opening is one dimension. Verify the attachment shape, proper hook seating and the manufacturer's permitted rigging arrangement.
