P.S. The castle nut on the brake was bottomed out on its threads too. That lack of thickness just did not allow the brake any friction. It was new out of the box. Needless to say it stays on the shelf with a large label on it, "do not use" until the parts arrive. Also I highly recommend for vertical loading to buy a US made and certified vertical lift chain to replace the chinesium it comes with. It would be ok, I believe for light lifts or horizontal but for any vertical lifts of significant weight you really want an inspected and certified chain. The good news is the dimensions are interchangeable with the proper chain which is readily available. When using be very aware of where you are and where your load is so that failure will not hurt you.

Do these lever hoists work in the horizontal position Harold, so you can pull stuff onto a trailer or truck bed ? Cheers Rob

Any position chain hoist work beautifully. I work in tunnel and big and heavy concrete floor put together face to face horizontally till close them I pull them with chain hoist with two side of edges of concrete. It works horizontally 🎉

Please try to make chain hoist with wiper motor connection to lift material. I wonder instant of turning chain hoist by hand please connect with wiper motor or may be motor with gearbox. I hope you understand that. So we can lift many objects ❤

The chain and lever is much stronger than the wiper motor.

if you were pulling the load side when you pulled the chain through with it in neutral means that 3 tons is headed for the floor in a hurry

I checked into it and it’s actually named Coffing and it was created in the 1930’s by Fred R Coffing in his barn/workshop. They say when a lot of companies were going broke his company was thriving.

Be careful with these. They work but you may have to do some work on them. I bought one and to make it useful had to buy a longer chain, no big deal but one more thing to do. The dangerous aspect came along when I went to use it I found that it would pick in the up position just fine. When it came to letting it down it was a different story. The lever would click it down but only hold if you held the center knob and I have no idea just how much it would take to not hold at all and be a flat drop when you flip the lever to down. When I disassembled it and measured the thickness on the friction washers (two) I found that they were .170 thick while (after searching the web) I found that a friction washer rated for that tonnage, i.d., and o.d. were supposed to be .270 thick. So the thickness was not enough to engage the brake when lowering a load. Using it horizontal would be no problem but when picking you better have a plan when it runs away on the drop! On mine you could set it in the 'down' position on the lever and by just pulling the chain make it free wheel only a mite slower than putting it in 'free' wheel. Since you could easily pick up a full load and it will hold until you switch it to "down" you get a surprise that might injure or damage!! The friction washers are about three dollars on e-bay. Check your hoist out before you use it in the vertical mode. It is chinesium.

Yes, I have to lower a 200kg motor today. Lucky I decided to test it with my body weight first. I can only wonder how did this make it to the market in the first place. I'd expect better safety standards from a two year old. Hmmm will I buy the new washers or just get a new winch. Honestly, right now I don't want to touch it!!!

Better not test that hoist too hard. 3 ton is a lot to support might be hard on your house! That is the size I use for most all my work. I far prefer a wheel type hoist to a lever.

Considering this is mostly a disposable garage I do not intend to lift anything more than my rotary table. 3 ton is about 2 tons more than I need. Thanks for commenting Brian.
