CX Miniature Hand Chain Hoist

A beauty on the outside, a beast on the inside.

With its smooth lines, integrated aluminum body, and impossibly small size, the CX might seem better suited for displaying than working. Not true. The CX is a remarkable engineering achievement in both design and performance, with the ¼ tonne model weighing less than 6 lbs, the ½ tonne model weighing 9.9 lbs, and the 1 tonne model weighing 16lbs. The heat-treated gears and innovative brake system are also sealed to protect against damage from dust and water, and its hooks have tip-supported latches with wide openings to perform jobs big or small.
