Hand chain hoist classes compared
1 ton / 2,200 lb, 2 ton / 4,400 lb, and 3 ton / 6,600 lb hand chain-block classes with example VEVOR listings and NO_MATCH ceiling.
| Class | Best for | Trade-off |
|---|---|---|
| 1 ton / 2,200 lb | Light shop lifts when required ≈ (load+rigging)×1.25 stays ≤ 2,200 lb | Too light once required exceeds 2,200 lb |
| 2 ton / 4,400 lb | Midweight engines, crates, and fixtures when required sits between 2,200 and 4,400 lb | Still needs a rated beam — class alone does not certify the hang point |
| 3 ton / 6,600 lb | Heavier shop loads when required sits between 4,400 and 6,600 lb | Ceiling of this consumer ladder — confirm HS-C 10 ft lift and G80 chain on the live listing |
| Above 6,600 lb required | Loads that outrun a consumer 3 ton hand chain block | NO_MATCH on this site — need a higher-rated hoist or a different lift plan |
