Light Load Test of Hand Chain Blocks EN 13157

Light Load Test Hand chain blocks shall be subjected to a type test with a test load of between 2% and 10% of the rated capacity which shall be raised and lowered through a height of between 250 mm and 500 mm. When the hand chain is released at any point during raising and lowering cycle, the brake shall hold the load.
