The design and specification of the William Hackett WH-C4 chain hoist includes:
- WORKING LOAD LIMIT RANGE: 500kg to 50 tonnes.
- LIGHT LOAD CAPABILITY: the WH-C4 is tested and certified at 2% of the chain hoist rated capacity.
- TWIN PAWL: double safety; fitted as standard.

- FLEETING/CROSS HAULING: the WH-C4 chain hoist is tested and certified for fleeting or cross hauling applications up to 45° from the vertical without deration.
- LOAD CHAIN: WH-C4 chain blocks are fitted with load chain that fully complies with international standard BS EN818-7 Grade T (8).
