Is it possible to use a lever chain hoist 'inverted'? For example: if I wanted to rig and lift say a welder off the floor with a shop gantry, then back the truck under the load to put it into the truck ..... can the lever chain hoist be placed adjacent to the welder's lifting lug with the end of the chain up on the gantry's beam, and will it then "climb up the chain" without fouling?
Chain Fall with the big loop of chain - typically say Not (unless it is a trick one with the chain ring housing able to float around and even then, the out moving load chain may bunch up).
Cable come-a-long - yes.
But whaddabout a standard Lever Style Chain Hoist?
All the times using one of these dont recall this method and have not one handy to try out.
