Canadian industrial equipment distributor Dobco Equipment Ltd. has introduced Vulcan Hoist’s innovative Mini Chain Block XT series, bringing the market’s most flexible compact hoists to Canadian worksites. These manual hoists feature a unique 360-degree rotation capability, making them ideal for precision load handling in confined spaces.
Engineered for durability, the Mini Chain Block XT series represents the smallest yet strongest manual hoists in their class, featuring lightweight aluminum housing and competitive pricing. Each unit incorporates industrial-grade components including a Grade 100 zinc-plated chain, Weston-type brake with double pawls, and adjustable hand-chain positioning for operator convenience. The hoists’ 360-degree swiveling hooks and built-in drainage channels ensure reliable performance even in outdoor conditions.
Vulcan subjects every hoist to rigorous testing at 150% capacity for over 1,500 cycles, with all models meeting ASME B30.16 safety standards and backed by a two-year warranty. Dobco currently stocks seven models with capacities ranging from ¼ ton to 5 tons, accommodating test loads from ⅜ ton to 7½ tons. The compact XBM0.25T model weighs just 5.8 lbs, while the heavy-duty XBM5T model tips the scales at 65 lbs.
Dobco offers same-day shipping for orders placed before 11 a.m. EST. The company also distributes Vulcan’s complete line of industrial lifting equipment, including electric winches, hoists, and trolleys, plus the specialized 15 MT electric chain hoist.
As Vulcan celebrates its 60th anniversary, the Montreal-based manufacturer maintains its distinction as Canada’s sole producer of electric chain hoists, trolleys, and winches, continuing its legacy of domestic industrial innovation.
