Invention & Evolution Of Chain Pulley Blocks

The invention of chain pulley block dates back to ancient times of Archimedes, a mathematician and an inventor. With the invention of pulley system, lifting of materials became easier because pulleys make our centre of gravity on the object change.
As the technologies in the world evolved, there were frequent instances of moving or lifting heavy objects to different place/heights. There was a need of some system to further reduce the load and hold the weight at certain points. This need led to the invention of chain pulley blocks that are made of combination of pulleys and gear boxes. This combo helps a human being to lift thousands of kilograms easily.
This invention reduced the labor issues prevailing around the world and opened a new world of opportunities for material handling industry. Today Chain pulley blocks are available in different shapes depending on the factors like Capacity, portability, durability, cost etc.

Some of the salient features of Chain Pulley Blocks are as follows.

  • Hooks: Designed on heavy steel forgings to withstand shocks due to load rotation and to enable it to swivel freely.
  • Body Frame: Fully composed out of steel.
  • Load Chain: Grade 80 High quality alloy steel with 400% safety factor and surface Blackened. Elongation : 10 to 14%. Hardness : 38-42 Hrc
  • Hand Chain: Grade 30 steel galvanised for rust proof life.
  • Load Wheel & Gears: Casted out of Heavy duty alloy steel and hardened for longer life.
  • Brake: It has two automotive positive load-brake which is of a self-sustained disc type.
  • Acid Test: Safety being of prime importance, each Pulley block is tested up to 50% over and above the safe working load.
  • Self-Sustaining: LOADMATE has made the probability of a backlash non-existent enabling the load to remain suspended in times of accurate setting.
  • Easy Lowering: This is delightfully smooth and easy. And owing to the absence of ratchet gear, is quite silent too. Its perfect smoothness is a great factor in preserving the life of the chains.
  • Safety: At LOADMATE, this is our prime consideration always. Every LOADMATE Chain Pulley Block is tested by dead weight to 50% over the working load. Thus a 1 ton block is safe for a working load of 1 ton and tested to 1.5 ton for certificate purpose.
Today there are many advanced versions of manual chain blocks are available like Electric Chain Hoist – EURO, Low headroom Chain hoist, Electric Wire Rope Hoist and the best is EOT Crane. Which model to choose depends on your requirement. Along with the increased technology, required safety measures has also increased

How To Install A Electric Chain Hoist?

Things to create positive before installation: The  electric chain hoist  and  trolley   are prepackaged severally. first, check if the number of the  hoist  accords with the number of units in the invoice and if their area unit any damages occurred from the transportation or abnormal packing. Also, Check the plate and see if the rated capacity, lifting speed, lifting height,  cross traveling   speed in addition because the power provide is up to plain. Check if screws of prime hook set are loosed and if the chains are knotted and twisted. 1. Check the track where the hoist and trolley combo is to be mounted: The run track of the hoist adopted is the I- Beam steel. The range of width is 75-180 mm for 1T - 2T and 100-180 mm for 3T-5T. The track for running should be smooth and its swerve radius cannot but the minimum radius stipulated within the plate. the location of axle height at the tip of the track should be mounted a physical property b...

Hoist & Trolley: Follow these tips to stay safe

                            Safety First, Safety Last and Safety Always Danger exists when heavy loads are transported, particularly when the equipment is not being used properly or is poorly maintained. Because accidents and serious injury could result, special safety precautions apply to the operation, maintenance and inspection of  LOADMATE hoists  and trolleys. Kindly read the below mentioned general care and  safety tips  to follow before and while operation of LOADMATE Electric Chain Hoist or  Electric Trolleys . Before use: Always  read the owner`s manual and safety instructions Always  check that the hook latches work properly and replace missing or broken hook latches. Never  lift more than capacity shown on the hoist name plate Never  operate a hoist if damaged or malfunctioning Never  use a twisted , kniked, damaged or stretched load chai...
