Amenabar Hand Chain Hoist

Hand Chain Hoist

Amenabar's experience and know-how in the design, development and manufacture of lifting
machinery to FEM standards make the name Amenabar a synonym for safety, quality and
guarantee in Chain Hoists.

Amenabar AR Series Hand Chain Hoists are the only ones on the market with permanent
load chain guide in the shape of two central bodies which completely surround the sheave,
thus ensuring that the load chain is permanently guided all along its travel on the plane of
rotation of the sheave.

Amenabar Chain Hoists have the qualities most sought-after by customers: safety, reliability
and guaranteed operation at competitive prices.

Amenabar recommends using hand chain hoists with permanent load chain guide
Safety Factor of 5-6.

This increased safety factor means that the hand chain hoists can perform many more cycles
than conventional products. This longer lifetime of the Amenabar Hand Chain Hoists is an
evident saving for the customer.

O Maximum Safety. The load chain can not jam or break because it is PERMANENTLY
GUIDED.

O Maximum Reliability. Patented immediate action safety brake.

O Maximum Useful Built to work at fullload in the harshest conditions for many years.

O Standardized. Complies with European Standards

O Multi-Purpose. Capable of working in horizontal, vertical and reverse positions.

O Load Test Each chain hoist is tested at 125% of its rated load.

O Maximum 3 YEAR Basic Guarantee (1 year for the chain).

Guarantee.

O Competitive Prices. Amenabar Chain Hoists mean Guaranteed Cost-Effectiveness.
