Engine Lift Chain for Safe and Efficient Engine Hoisting

An engine lift chain is a critical lifting component used for safely hoisting, positioning, and installing engines during maintenance, repair, and assembly operations. Designed to work with engine cranes, hoists, and gantry systems, engine lift chains provide reliable load control, high strength, and secure attachment points for engines of various sizes.

At TOPONE CHAIN, we manufacture professional-grade engine lift chains using high-strength alloy steel and certified lifting components, ensuring maximum safety and durability in demanding workshop and industrial environments.

What Is an Engine Lift Chain?

An engine lift chain is a short-length alloy steel chain assembly equipped with hooks or attachment points at both ends. It is commonly connected between an engine block and a lifting device such as an engine crane chain system or overhead hoist.

Depending on the lifting configuration, the chain may be used as:

A single engine chain sling

A two-point engine chain sling

A custom engine lifting assembly with adjustable hooks

Key Components of an Engine Lift Chain

Each engine chain sling is proof-tested and clearly marked to meet international lifting standards.
