How hand chain hoist sizing works
Load + rigging, 1.25× WLL margin, and when to stop at NO_MATCH.
Manual chain-block sizing
Hand chain hoist WLL calculator
Enter load and rigging weight. Get a 1 ton / 2,200 lb, 2 ton / 4,400 lb, or 3 ton / 6,600 lb hand chain-block class — or NO_MATCH when the consumer ladder cannot cover it.
Manual chain-block sizing
Result
Required WLL ≈ (load + rigging) × 1.25. Classes: 1 ton = 2,200 lb · 2 ton = 4,400 lb · 3 ton = 6,600 lb. This is a hand chain block — not a folding shop-crane boom hole check.
