Magna Lifting Products hand chain hoists are made in Korea utilizing high-quality parts that provide smooth operation without breaking the bank. This is a great hoist for those on a budget that don't want to sacrifice performance. Each hoist is tested to 125% of its rated capacity and uses a mechanical brake for load control while lifting. The high-quality load chain meets all applicable standards, including OSHA and ANSI. Repair parts are readily available and the hoists break down easily for quick, easy fixes. Maybe we say it all by saying this is our standard stock hoist!
