The SPECSTAR Hand Chain Hoist, 2 Ton 4400 Lbs Capacity, 10 Feet with 2 Hooks, Heavy Duty is one of our picks for the hoist lineup. Everything below comes straight from the manufacturer's published listing - specs, capacities, and dimensions are theirs, not ours.
Chain hoists, lever hoists and come-alongs are rated in working load limit - the number on the housing is the ceiling, and standard rigging practice (ASME B30 series) means never lifting over people, inspecting chain and hooks before each use, and retiring anything with a stretched link or sprung latch. Tie-down straps are not lifting gear; use rated slings.
Key details, quoted from the manufacturer's published listing:
- HIGH CAPACITY: The heavy duty manual chain hoist offers 2 Ton / 4409 LBS capacity for overhead lifting; Equipped with a 1/4'' diameter 20Mn2 forged chain (10FT total, 8.5FT effective lift height), industrial-grade steel gears deliver stable performance
- SAFETY CERTIFIED: Built to meet ASME B30.16 overhead hoist standards, it comes with a mechanical load brake for anti-slipping and 360° rotating forged steel hooks to lock loads firmly; Precision-machined drive train ensures safe and accurate control
- DURABLE BUILD: This industrial chain hoist features a full steel structure with forge-heated alloy chain, milled gears and cold-rolled steel cover to shield core components; Rugged construction effectively resists wear and extends overall service life
- EFFORTLESS OPERATION: The chain hoist is fitted with pre-lubricated ball bearings to minimize manual effort for smooth lifting; Industrial steel gears enable precise hoist load control; heavy-duty core parts cut the chain hoist’s daily maintenance needs
- WIDE APPLICATION: Compact manual chain hoist is perfect for construction site lifting, warehouse loading, automotive repair and industrial maintenance; Portable design fits fixed/temporary use in confined low-headroom areas as a versatile overhead hoist

What to check before you buy
- Working load limit and hitch type
- A sling's rated capacity changes with the hitch. Vertical, choker and basket hitches all carry different ratings for the same sling - read the tag, not the catalog headline.
- Sling angle
- As the angle between the sling leg and the horizontal drops, tension in each leg rises sharply. A 30 degrees angle roughly doubles leg tension compared with a vertical lift.
- D/d ratio
- Bending a sling around a small-diameter object cuts its capacity. Manufacturers publish a D/d derating; sharp corners need softeners regardless.
- Tag legibility
- Under ASME B30.9 a sling with a missing or illegible identification tag is removed from service. There is no field workaround.

Frequently asked questions
Why does a sling have three different capacity numbers?
Because the hitch changes the geometry. Vertical, choker and basket hitches load the sling differently, so each has its own rated capacity on the tag.
What happens to capacity as the sling angle decreases?
Tension rises. At 60 degrees each leg carries about 1.15x the share of the load; at 45 degrees about 1.41x; at 30 degrees about 2x. Shallow angles are where rigging failures concentrate.
When must a sling be removed from service?
ASME B30.9 requires removal for a missing or illegible tag, broken or worn stitching, cuts, holes, snags, chemical or heat damage, or any distortion of fittings. Damaged slings are destroyed, not repaired.
Do slings need periodic inspection?
Yes. ASME B30.9 calls for inspection by the user before each use and a documented periodic inspection at intervals based on service severity, at least annually for normal service.
Can I use a sling around a sharp edge?
Not without protection. Corner protectors or wear pads are required; synthetic webbing in particular can be cut through under load with very little warning.
Where do the specifications on this page come from?
They are taken from the manufacturer's published listing. WC Safety does not laboratory-test products, and nothing is claimed here that the manufacturer does not state.
Does WC Safety sell this product?
