  • The ALR Mini Aluminium Manual Chain Hoist is a compact manual chain block in the ACHC6 range for lifting loads within its marked working load limit (WLL). Available in 250kg and 500kg models, it offers a small-format hoist for operators who need to match lifting capacity to restricted installation space. Model-specific dimensions and load chain sizes help distinguish the two options.

    Choose the hoist by the total supported load, required height of lift and available clearance, and check that the suspension point and complete lifting arrangement are suitable. The ACHC6-025 uses 3.2 × 9.0mm load chain; the ACHC6-050 uses 4.3 × 12.1mm chain. Compare the dimensions in the Specifications and PDF tabs before ordering, keep the arrangement within its rated capacity and follow ALR’s operating instructions.

FAQs About ALR Mini Aluminium Manual Chain Hoist

What is the ALR Mini Aluminium Manual Chain Hoist used for?

The ALR Mini Aluminium Manual Chain Hoist is a compact chain hoist for lifting loads within its marked working load limit. It is available in 250kg and 500kg versions. Select the capacity and height of lift to suit the planned operation and follow the manufacturer’s operating instructions.

Who should operate the ALR Mini Aluminium Manual Chain Hoist?

The ALR Mini Aluminium Manual Chain Hoist should be operated by someone trained and competent in using chain hoists and the lifting arrangement involved. The operator should understand load limits, secure connections and pre-use checks, and be familiar with the manufacturer’s instructions.

Where can the ALR Mini Aluminium Manual Chain Hoist be installed for a lift?

Use the ALR Mini Aluminium Manual Chain Hoist at a suitable load-bearing suspension point with enough space for the hoist, load and chain travel. Check the supporting structure, connectors and available clearance before selecting the installation position. The specification sheet provides model-specific dimensions to help assess fit.

When should I choose the 250kg or 500kg ALR Mini Aluminium Manual Chain Hoist?

Choose the ALR Mini Aluminium Manual Chain Hoist with a working load limit that covers the total load it will carry, including supported lifting accessories. The 250kg version weighs 2.4kg at a 3m height of lift; the 500kg version weighs 4.5kg at the same height. Do not exceed the marked capacity or select solely by the hoist’s own weight.

Why does the height of lift affect the ALR Mini Aluminium Manual Chain Hoist weight?

A greater height of lift adds chain weight to the ALR Mini Aluminium Manual Chain Hoist. The specification sheet lists an additional 0.4kg per metre of height of lift for the 250kg model and 0.9kg per metre for the 500kg model. Its reference weights are 2.4kg and 4.5kg respectively at a 3m height of lift, so account for the required lift when comparing portability and handling.

How does LOLER legislation apply to the ALR Mini Aluminium Manual Chain Hoist?

For lifting at work in Great Britain, LOLER places duties on those responsible for the ALR Mini Aluminium Manual Chain Hoist and the lifting operation. HSE guidance gives a normal thorough-examination interval of 12 months for lifting equipment not used to lift people, or the interval specified in a competent person’s examination scheme. Lifting accessories have separate examination requirements. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions and carry out appropriate pre-use checks; LOLER is legislation, not a product certification.
