Just what I thought,
January 14, 2008
By 57chevyfrom New Orleans, LA
"I am doing a frame off restoration of my great grandfathers 57 bel air. I need to lift the body of the car off of the frame. I used two of these hoists to do that. I left the body of the car hanging on these hoists for a little over a month. Then I attached the third chain hoist to the second and to the motor and transmission. Everything worked very well. Very easy to use. My 9 year old son lifted one side of the car while I did the other. Great product"

Light Weight Lifter,

By OldOnefrom Gibsland, LA
"This hoist is easy to move around, it's simple to hook up, has enough chain for most jobs, and as long as you hang it on something that can take 1000 pounds, it will make light work of lifting that much."

Northern Industrial Manual Chain Hoist — 1/2-Ton,
July 9, 2007
By estes5129from Las Vegas, Nevada
"This hoist was just what I needed and worked better than I expected. I needed a hoist or some other lift to get my 5th wheel hitch loaded into the bed of my truck, but didn't want to spend a ton of money. After checking out many different options, I chose the 1/2 ton chain hoist. I was able to lift my 250 lb. hitch with no problems and with very little effort. I have seen other low cost hoists in the past that looked like they would come apart after the 1st use. The Northern hoist is very sturdy and arrived pre-lubricated for use right out of the box with no assembly required. I was very happy with the item, price and service."

Chain Hoist,

By Flashfrom Seneca, IL.
"The chain hoist was perfect for my application. I have a tall ceiling and the chain was plenty long. The hoist isn't too heavy , but it still has the capacity to lift a 1/2 ton."
