Why Red Beast
Built Around the Parts That Matter
The Red Beast chain hoist is built around practical mechanical components that support controlled lifting, dependable braking and long service life in demanding industrial environments.
Construction 01
Compact All-Steel Construction
The rugged steel gear case and hand wheel provide a durable, compact housing designed for regular industrial lifting and material-handling work.
Construction 02
Hook and Cast Safety Latch
The hook and latch are designed to remain properly aligned. The cast latch provides durable protection at one of the hoist’s most frequently handled connection points.
Construction 03
Roller-Bearing Construction
Roller bearings support smoother mechanical operation and help reduce unnecessary friction within the hoist during regular lifting and lowering cycles.
Construction 04
Double-Pawl Braking System
Two brake pawls work with larger-diameter pawl springs to provide dependable engagement and controlled load handling during lifting and lowering.
Supplied for Demanding Work
Core features are included across the Red Beast chain-hoist range.
- Grade 100 load chain
- Roller-bearing construction
- Double pawls and double chain guides
- Rotating bottom hook under load
- 10 and 20 ft standard lifts
- Optional overload protection
Documented Quality Control
Manufactured by an ISO 9001 Certified Factory
Red Beast chain hoists are manufactured by an ISO 9001 certified factory that is a member of the Lifting Equipment Engineers Association. Each hoist is individually proof tested and supplied with a unique serial number and test certificate.
Always select a hoist with sufficient capacity for the complete application. Never exceed the marked working load limit. Read the operator manual and inspect the hoist before every use.
