Introducing the William Hackett WH C4 Chain Hoist — a high-performance manual chain block engineered for superior lifting safety, durability, and control. Independently verified by DNV (Verification No. N141UH09) and compliant with leading international standards, the WH C4 delivers reliable lifting performance across construction, offshore, energy, infrastructure, and industrial environments.
Certified to Global Lifting Standards

Engineered for Precision and Safety
With a 4:1 safety factor and proven light-load capability (certified to operate safely at just 2% of its rated capacity), the WH C4 offers exceptional control during low-load positioning and delicate lifting applications. The standard twin-pawl mechanism provides an extra layer of security, ensuring dependable load engagement at all times.
Rugged Hook Design with Full Traceability
Both top and bottom hooks are fitted with heavy-duty cast steel safety latches, featuring an integrated latch and hook tip for a stronger, more secure closure. Overload indicator marks (500 kg–10 t), batch codes, manufacturer’s marks and WLL embossing ensure complete traceability and easy compliance checks.
Built for Tough, Real-World Conditions
Independently tested and certified for fleeting and cross-hauling up to 60° from vertical without deration, the WH C4 is ideal for challenging lift setups, angled pulls, and environments where flexibility is essential. The load chain fully complies with BS EN818-7 Grade T (8), delivering outstanding strength and wear resistance.
