JET S90-050-30 1/2-Ton Hand Chain Hoist with 30-Foot Extended Lift

The JET S90-050-30 S90 Series 1/2-Ton Hand Chain Hoist is an extended-reach manual overhead lifting device engineered for high-bay machinery positioning, deep maintenance pit servicing, and multi-story structural rigging. Delivering 1,100 pounds of rated load capacity across a 30-foot vertical lift height within an 11-inch headroom profile, this industrial hoist incorporates a Weston-style double ratchet pawl mechanical load brake for load holding. Outfitted with Grade 80 black oxide-coated 0.20 x 0.59 inch load chain, 360-degree swiveling drop-forged alloy steel safety hooks with cast steel latches, needle-bearing supported load sheaves, and an all-steel impact-resistant housing, this 36-pound hoist executes long-reach overhead lifting tasks.

Best Used For:

  • High-Bay Facility Maintenance: Hoisting electric motors, ventilation ductwork, and piping across extended 30-foot vertical drops.
  • Deep Vertical Shaft & Pit Rigging: Raising and lowering equipment in deep utility vaults, elevator shafts, and maintenance pits.
  • Structural Component Positioning: Aligning steel beams, trusses, and machinery frames in low-headroom structural clearance zones.

Key Performance & Safety Features

  • 1,100 LB Working Load Limit: Delivers 1/2-ton lifting capacity requiring 58 pounds of manual hand chain pull effort to operate at full load.
  • 30-Foot Extended Lift Reach: Long-reach Grade 80 load chain allows continuous deep-shaft and high-bay lifting without resetting rigging.
  • Weston-Style Double Pawl Brake System: Dual ratchet pawls split load stress across opposite gear teeth to maintain load control.
  • Grade 80 Black Oxide Load Chain: Heat-treated 0.20 x 0.59 inch alloy steel chain delivers high tensile strength and surface corrosion protection.
  • Compact 11-Inch Headroom Frame: Low-profile all-steel housing operates smoothly in restricted vertical clearance spaces.
  • Overload-Indicating 360-Degree Swivel Hooks: Drop-forged alloy steel hooks rotate 360 degrees and deform slowly under excessive load as a visual safety indicator.
