I needed a chain hoist for my basement to unload items 100-200lbs from a lawn cart. I installed a lift point on a double floor joist over where I could pull a cart. It is as advertised it seems. The only problem I had was the chains were tangled up and I had to pull the two covers off to rearrange them. The only way to do that was to suspend it first, however which made it a little troublesome. Overall I'm satisfied with the item and its cost. It worked for a150lb unload just fine. I doubt that I'd ever get up to the 1T capacity, however.
