Hand chain hoist

model Yalelift 360
Capacity 500 - 20000 kg
Areas of operation as well as operator conditions have
been improved far beyond those of a classical hand chain
hoist.

Features
• The enclosed robust stamped steel housing protects all
internal components even in the toughest conditions.
• The extremely low headroom allows maximum use of
the lifting height.
• The revolutionary 360° rotating hand chain guide
allows the operator to work from virtually any position,
in confined spaces or above the load. The Yalelift can
even be operated from the side of the load which also

operational safety and improved serviceability due to
omission of the vulnerable ratchet pawls. All parts are
made of high quality materials, additionally zinc-plated

• The surface protected zinc-plated alloy steel load
chains fulfil all requirements of current national and
international standards and regulations.
• Drop forged load and suspension hooks that yield
under overload instead of breaking, are made of high
tensile steel. The hooks are fitted with robust safety
latches and rotate 360°.

Easy modification from Yalelift 360 to Yalelift IT is
possible.

Hand chain hoist

model Yalelift 360 20 t
Capacity 20000 kg
The brake system used in the Yalelift series is also
employed in the Yalelift 360 20 t, setting standards in
terms of operational safety and serviceability. The brake
is extremely quiet and wear resistant. In spite of its high
capacity, the Yalelift 360 20 t features a compact design.

Features
• All components are made of high quality materials,
some components are zinc-plated or yellow-chromated
for added corrosion protection. This ensures that also
heaviest loads are held reliably.
• The enclosed robust stamped steel body resists in the
toughest conditions and allows outside operation.
• The hardened load sheave with five precision machined
pockets ensures accurate movement of the load chain.
• The low headroom (hook-to-hook dimension 1010 mm)
allows maximum use of the lifting height.
• The Yalelift 360 20 t is equipped with six chain falls
only which results in higher speed and lower weight.

Hand chain hoist

model VSIII
Capacity 250 - 5000 kg
The newly designed hand chain hoist VSIII is an innovative
further development introduced by Yale. The improved
hand chain guide prevents canting or jamming of the
hand chain, leading to a smooth running of the chain.
High quality bearings on side plates, gearbox and load
chain sheave ensure smooth operation of load chain and
drive pinion.
Optimized hand forces set standards for easy operation.

Features
• Strong bolts between side plates and housing cover
and the reinforced hand wheel cover ensure increased
stability.
• Precision machined guide rollers ensure smooth
running of the load chain.
• High quality bearings for gearbox, side plates and load
chain sheave permit a long service life.
• Zinc-plated and yellow-chromated brake parts and
guide rollers ensure increased corrosion protection.
• Zinc-plated load chain as standard for added corrosion
protection.

Swivel truck low headroom

trolley hoist suitable for
extreme curve radius
model VLRP and model VLRG
Capacity 250 - 6000 kg
The hand chain hoist series VLR with integrated manual
trolley drive features extremely low headroom capabilities
and provides optimal usage of the available storage space
in confined areas.
Hand wheel and gear case are positioned outside the
reach of the bottom flange, thus allowing the bottom block
to be raised almost until the underside of the beam. The
swivel truck feature of the trolley suspension enables
travelling on extremely short radius curves.

Features
• All-steel construction with zinc-plated load and hand
chains.
• The integrated swivel truck trolley suspension permits
application on runways with extremely narrow radii.
• All units are built to order for a predetermined beam
dimension. They cannot be adjusted retro-actively to
other beam sizes.
• Anti-drop and anti-tilt devices as standard.
• The rotating hand chain guide allows side-pull of the
trolley hand chain in travel direction.

INFO
Yale hoists and trolleys are not designed for passenger

Hoisting Equipment Corrosion protection CR & Accessories

Corrosion protection CR
More life expectancy.
All models of the Yalelift programme can be supplied with
corrosion resistant features which include zinc-plated load
chain and stainless steel hand chain as standard.

Corrosion protection
Corrosion starts on the surface of components due to
reaction of environmental influences. This affects the
mechanical properties of the components, e.g. breaking
load and total ultimate elongation.
Many components are supplied in black (unmachined),
bright (machined) or painted condition. This offers certain
protection but after only a short period of time corrosion
can begin.
With the application of a protective coating, the develop-
ment of corrosion can be reduced and delayed, thus
extending the service life of the treated components.

Applications
Completely corrosion resistant units with either zinc-plated
or stainless steel hand and load chains should be used in
all conditions with increased requirements towards corro-
sion protection.
Typical applications are in food processing (e.g. dairy,
abattoir, etc.), chemical industries (e.g. paper, dye indus-
tries), farming and sewage treatment.

Locking device
Available in explosion proof version More grip.
(see page 452). Yale trolleys can be delivered with a locking device to
secure the unit (Parking position, e.g. shipping industry).

Chain container
More comfort.
The chain containers for the Yalelift programme consist of
a robust, powder-coated steel frame with a flexible chain
bag made from high tensile Cordura textile fabric.
Available in different sizes. Special sizes on request.

Overload protection
More control.
The overload protection device of the Yalelift programme

load weight and thus increases the lifetime of the hoist.
