Budgit Chain Blocks

The outstanding design features of the BUDGIT HI-CAP hoist provide the finest concept of high strength spur geared chain hoists.

This chain block offers the user maximum ease of lifting with long, trouble-free operating life. The hoist frame and covers are tough, impact resistant, heat-treated cast aluminum alloy for strength rigidity and lightweight.

The frame is one-piece construction housing the hoisting mechanism as well as the chain anchorage or cast steel idler sprockets inside the frame. The result is vertical reeving of the load chain, thus increasing the efficiency of pull by the operator. The gears are made large for ease in raising loads. The “full jeweled” automatic mechanical load brake offers positive control over the load. The use of splines, instead of the usual keyways, to connect gears to the hardened shafts helps assure strength at these vital points.

Spark and Corrosion Resistant Models
Spark and Corrosion Resistant Models are designed for service in certain hazardous atmospheres and areas where resistance to friction sparks is vitally important. These models have: bronze alloy hooks; bronze block sleeve or aluminum lower block; special chrome nickel stainless steel alloy load chain; and aluminum or bronze alloy hand chain.

True Vertical Reeving
Sheaves are arranged to eliminate angular chain pull, permitting true vertical lifting for maximum lifting efficiency.
