Director Dennis Wong told Hoist the unit is lightweight and compact and the patented friction disc design means no brake discs are required.

The unit includes a grade 100 galvanized load chain. Each chain block is operationally tested at 1.5 times rated capacity.

The hand wheel and knob design means no preload is required.

Also on show was the Yal Type lever hoist – available in 0.25, 0.5 and 0.75t capacity.
