BIG RED TR9030 Torin Manual Hand Lift Steel Chain Block Hoist with 2 Hooks, 3 Ton (6,000 lb) Capacity, Red

Worked like a charm straight out of the box. Only used once so far but held a 2 ton curved stair suspended while we positioned it in place. Next job is two, 2-ton steel mono-stringer stairs. Expecting the same performance the next time.

This is easily the dirtiest tool I've bought in the past 20 years. It's like they pack it in sooty oily carbon black mixed with used motor oil. Operate this thing while wearing clothes that you never intend to wear again. That said, it worked fine and got the job done. We lifted a piece of heavy machinery that was a substantial fraction of its rated load, so I suspect the load rating is pretty reliable. Would buy again.

It does what it's supposed to do. I wouldn't recommend for longterm use but for an inexpensive solution to a problem it delivered. It's not built elegantly or solidly but is solid enough. Get the one with the higher rated chain. I used it to lift a one ton rock which it did with ease.

Pull Chain comes apart and cuts hand. Would not buy again.

This hoist looks and feels like a high‑quality, heavy‑duty tool. It has some real weight to it, which gives confidence in the build. I haven’t pushed it to its absolute limit yet, but for the jobs I’ve used it on so far, it has performed exactly as it should — smooth operation and no complaints up to this point.
