Overview

The Ableforge CB250 Mini Chain Block is a robust, easy-to-operate hand chain hoist designed to lift loads up to 250 kg with minimal effort. Compact enough for restricted spaces yet tough enough for demanding industrial environments, it is equally at home in factories, power plants, laboratories, transport applications, and outdoors.

Every unit is individually proof-load tested to 1.5× WLL (375 kg) and carries a unique serial number for full batch traceability. A superior Grade 100 Wafios-link load chain provides a minimum breaking load of 400% of the working load limit, while the double-pawl fail-safe brake system keeps the load secure even if one pawl fails. Forged and heat-treated load hooks feature built-in stretch indicators and a safety latch for added peace of mind. Asbestos-free brake linings and sealed roller bearings ensure long service life with minimal maintenance.
