YaleMINI 360 Hand Chain Hoist ? Ultra-Lightweight 360ø Rotating Manual Hoist – 250kg?500kg WLL

Description

The YaleMINI 360 Hand Chain Hoist is the smallest and lightest hand chain hoist in the Yale range, purpose-designed for light lifting tasks where ease of handling, safety and versatility are paramount. Despite its compact size, it delivers the robust build quality and dependable performance expected from Yale lifting equipment.

A key innovation of the YaleMINI 360 is its fully rotatable 360ø hand chain wheel cover and guide. This allows the hand chain to be pulled from virtually any direction, enabling the operator to stand outside the danger zone at all times. This feature significantly improves safety in confined or awkward working environments, making the hoist ideal for workshops, maintenance bays, assembly lines and on-site repair work.

The hoist housing is manufactured from high-quality die-cast aluminium, resulting in an exceptionally low overall weight while maintaining strength and durability. Weighing as little as 2.7kg, the YaleMINI 360 can easily be carried between jobs and stored in a toolbox or service vehicle. Its compact dimensions make it perfectly suited to applications where space is limited and traditional hoists would be impractical.

Despite its lightweight construction, the YaleMINI 360 is engineered for long-term reliability. The enclosed housing design protects all internal components from dust, dirt and moisture, allowing the hoist to be used outdoors or in rough industrial environments. The load pressure brake complies with all applicable technical regulations and securely holds the load in any position, providing precise control during lifting and lowering operations.

The hoist is fitted as standard with forged top and bottom hooks manufactured from age-resistant, high-alloy tempered steel. These hooks are designed to open under overload conditions rather than breaking, offering an additional layer of safety. Both hooks rotate through 360 degrees and are equipped with robust safety catches to ensure secure load attachment and prevent accidental release.

The galvanised steel load chain meets all relevant national and international standards and is optimally matched to the load chain wheel. This precise fit ensures smooth operation, reduced wear and a long service life, even with frequent use. The efficient chain engagement also contributes to controlled lifting with minimal effort.

Available in 250kg and 500kg capacities, the YaleMINI 360 is ideally suited to light lifting and positioning tasks across a wide range of industries, including mechanical workshops, automotive repair, electrical installation, crafts, maintenance and general service work. Its combination of portability, safety and flexibility makes it an indispensable everyday lifting tool for professionals.
