Developed by a global cross-functional team from CM’s engineering, marketing and manufacturing groups, the Series 653 carries a five-year warranty and is available through CM’s network of standard stocking hand chain and full line independent hoist distributors.

CM said: “The short handle, along with minimal lever pull effort, make the 653 an ideal tool for a number of construction and industrial applications in addition to hoisting, including pulling in confined spaces and stretching.”

It added: “The chain guide roller on the 653 also reduces slippage over comparable products.”
