• Distances agree with
OSHA guidelines in Table
R-6 of the Federal Register,
published 1/31/94. These
distances take into consideration the highest switching
surge an employee will be
exposed to on any system
with air as the insulating
medium and the maximum
voltages shown.
• The clear live-line tool distance shall equal or exceed
the values for the indicated
voltage ranges.

CHAIN BINDER TYPE TRANSFORMER GINS
Safety Considerations
Available in a standard-base and extended-base design,
these proven Chain Binder Type Transformers Gins are
versatile tools for hoisting distribution transformers and
apparatus up a structure.
•A swivel-hook block should always be used in the eye
of the gin and a sheave or capstan near the bottom of
the structure should be used to thread handline
•Gins are not intended for applications involving side
pull on the hoist line or with the lift load in a taggedout position
•Load line should be parallel to the gin pole
•When calculating load capacities, allow 10 percent for
friction in rope pulleys
•For example, using two double-sheave blocks,
maximum lift load would be 1,400 lbs.; or, using a
single sheave, maximum lift load would be 900 lbs.
Features & Applications
•Standard base unit is for mounting on clear pole
sections
•5” extended-base model allows bridge mounting up to
4” x 5” crossarms
•Wheel tightener and 36” chain are part of each unit
•Standard and extended-base models feature 2000-lb.
maximum ratings, including hand pull force
•900-lb. lift load with single hoist line through a pulley
on the gin and a sheave near the base of structure (lift
load plus pull load equals capacity)
•Lift load can be 1,400 lbs., using 4-4 blocks
•Pole length is 26 inches
