Why Classic Hire
Why hire from Classic Hire
Classic Hire provides industrial contractors, fitters, and mechanics with fully certified lifting equipment that meets strict Australian safety standards.
Choosing the right chain block or lever hoist
Selecting the right lifting block depends on load weight, working orientation, and headroom. Manual chain blocks are designed strictly for vertical overhead lifting, while lever blocks (cum-a-longs) excel at both vertical lifting and horizontal pulling or tensioning.
Heavy-duty manual lifting power
Ensure safe, controlled load positioning with certified manual chain hoists.
- Calibrated Grade 80 Load Chain: High-tensile alloy steel chain engineered for maximum strength and wear resistance.
- Dual-Pawl Brake Safety: Automatic mechanical load brakes hold lifted loads securely in position.
- 360-Degree Swivel Hooks: Drop-forged safety swivel hooks fitted with latch latches to prevent slip-offs.
Maintenance and safety tested for total reliability
Safety is non-negotiable. Every chain block and lever hoist undergoes mandatory proof-load testing, chain link inspections, brake function tests, and safety latch checks prior to every hire.

Answers
Chain Block Hire FAQ's
A chain block uses a continuous hand chain to pull an overhead load vertically. A cum-a-long (lever hoist) uses a short ratchet handle, allowing operators to lift, pull, or tension loads horizontally, vertically, or at angles.
Our standard 1-tonne and 2-tonne manual chain blocks come fitted with 6 metres of high-tensile calibrated load chain, giving ample reach for high ceilings and gantry beams.
Yes. All our chain blocks and lever hoists comply with Australian Standard AS 1418.2 and are clearly stamped with their Safe Working Load (SWL) capacity.
No. Standard chain blocks are designed strictly for vertical lifting. For horizontal dragging or tensioning, you should strictly use a lever hoist (come-along).
We stock compatible girder clamps, push trolleys, synthetic webbing slings, and bow shackles to complete your rigging setup.
Always check that the load chain is not twisted or gouged, verify that the safety latches on top and bottom hooks function correctly, and test the automatic brake mechanism under a light load.
