What is the size of this chain hoist?

Would like some help identifying this CM CHAIN HOIST. Is it 4 ton? Is that a 2 above the 4?

Does it have the option of a pulley at the hook? Some older chain hoists came with a pulley which would account for the dual rating on your hoist. I'm just speaking from common sense rather than knowledge or expertise. I would think that it would be rated for 2 tons if lifting directly with the hook and 4 tons if incorporating a pulley.

I see this is your first post. Welcome to H.M. !

Thank you so much. That makes sense! A family member passed and all of these tools are a bit overwhelming

It is a little different than the one that I have, same handle side, mine is rated at 1 1/2 ton, we call that a "come along" not a chain hoist.

I do remember hearing my dad call it that many years ago. It was so dark in that garage, we had a hard time taking photos. Come to find out, it’s a 3/4 Ton.

They can be pretty handy to have around, as they can be used in any position, something that is not so handy with an ordinary chain hoist.

Should say 3/4 ton made in 1960's or 1970's. I forgot where label is.
