VITAL Manual Chain Block – 5 Ton, 3 Meter Lift, Made in Japan - VL5-50

Heavy-Duty VITAL 5 Ton Chain Block

The VITAL VL5-50 is a manual chain hoist engineered in Japan specifically for the most demanding heavy-duty lifting environments. When ,large-scale manufacturing plants, and construction sites require the safe elevation of massive 5-ton (5000 kg) loads, this 40 kg powerhouse delivers. Despite handling extreme weights with its 3-meter standard lift, the hoist is surprisingly efficient. By utilizing an advanced bearing system on the load pinion and precision gearing, it dramatically minimizes operator strain, requiring a pulling force of only 39 kgf.

Safety is built into every millimeter of the VL5-50. It features a highly reliable automatic double-pawl braking system to securely hold loads at any height, alongside specialized forged steel hooks designed to slowly open under severe overload rather than suddenly snapping. Navigating tight industrial spaces is made easier with a compact 600 mm headroom and a unique chain guide that allows safe operation from an angle of up to 45 degrees. Each unit is tested to a punishing 7.5 tons and utilizes a heat-treated reinforced steel lifting chain, guaranteeing absolute structural integrity for years of rigorous daily use.

Key Features & Benefits:
