faqs about chain blocks

What are the different types of chain blocks?

The main types of chain blocks are Manual Chain Blocks, Electric Chain Blocks and Pneumatic Chain Blocks. Manual chain blocks are the most common, ideal for workshops and smaller lifting tasks. At Lifting365 UK, you will find a complete selection of all types of chain blocks to suit every job.

What safety checks are required for chain blocks in the UK?

Under LOLER 1998, all chain blocks must be inspected regularly by a competent person. Before each use, operators should check for worn or twisted chains, distorted hooks, damaged brake mechanisms, or signs of corrosion. A thorough examination is also required at least once every 12 months, or more often if the equipment is used heavily. Regular checks ensure compliance, prevent failures, and maintain operator safety.

How to know which chain block size to buy?

Choosing the correct chain block size depends on your Safe Working Load (SWL) requirements and the height of lift. Always select a block rated for a slightly higher load than you plan to lift, and consider the working environment. For confined spaces, compact models offer greater flexibility. If unsure, our sales team can help you identify the most suitable chain block for your lifting tasks.
