Product Description
Milwaukee 3 Ton Chain Hoist — 20 ft. Lift
Model Number: 9679-20
The Milwaukee 9679-20 is a 3 Ton (6,000 lb.) Hand Chain Hoist with 20 ft. of lift — a heavy-duty manual lifting device for raising, lowering, and positioning heavy loads in construction, industrial maintenance, rigging, and mechanical installation work where the 20 ft. lift height covers elevated installations beyond the 8 ft. standard lift configuration's reach. The hand chain hoist uses a hand-operated pull mechanism with internal gear reduction to convert manageable hand pull force into the 3-ton lifting force needed for structural steel sections, HVAC equipment, heavy mechanical components, and building materials that require controlled vertical movement. The 20 ft. lift height provides the vertical travel needed for second-story framing work, equipment hoisting from grade to elevated mechanical room level, lifting heavy components into overhead structural positions, and the range of commercial construction and industrial maintenance lifts that exceed the standard 8 ft. configuration's range.
Milwaukee builds the chain hoist to industrial-grade standards with the load chain, hooks, and internal mechanism rated for the 3-ton working load limit under the sustained lifting cycles of professional rigging and construction use. The top and bottom hooks provide standard rigging attachment points for connecting to overhead structural members and the load being lifted with compatible rigging hardware rated for the hoist's working load limit. The hand chain mechanism's mechanical advantage allows a single operator to safely hoist the full 3-ton rated load with manageable pull force — though proper rigging practice, load stability assessment, and all applicable safety protocols must be observed for all lifting operations.
