The Chester Zephyr Extended Handwheel hoist is operated at a distance from the load, protecting the load from contact with the hand chain and making it easier to handle large, flat or bulky loads. Capacities from 1/2 to 2 tons are standard but consult our experts for higher capacities. The standard extension is 36 inches but more or less extension is available to meet your specific application. These units feature the same heavy duty components common to our Zephyr product line.
