How much lift height do I need?
Measure from the suspension point to the lowest hook position needed, and allow for slings and the load itself. Our team can supply blocks with longer chain if required.
Can a chain block be used horizontally?
Chain blocks are designed for vertical lifting. For horizontal pulling or tensioning, a lever hoist is usually the right tool.
How long can I hire it for?
Daily, weekly or long-term hire. Tell us your dates when you request a Quote and we will price the period that suits the job.
Does it come inspected and certified?
Yes. Every item is inspected and tagged by our team before it leaves the yard, and the current certificate goes with it.
Can you deliver to site?
We deliver nationwide from our branches in South Australia and the Northern Territory (Regency Park, Whyalla and Darwin), or you can collect from your nearest branch.
Not sure which size or type you need?
Send us the load, the lift and the site conditions. Our team will recommend the right equipment and include it in your Quote.
