That's not a block and tackle, that's a chain fall. I have one just like it.

Over here (and in the UK I think) that is a block and tackle.  A chain fall is where more than two people in a row fall over.

Vinnie may have leaned the slang word..... English language is kinda dumm we borrow words from many languages that all have same meaning . Btw Vinne is good for info like keeping Beer fridge recommendations, He taught me that Blokie means same thing as dude and wanted to even lend me a highlow . Hes a good guy don't pic on him. I gtg get out of here go south bound by myself .. cya all latter wish me luck

Up here in Cannuckistan we call it a chain hoist. Maybe 'cause it sounds less threatening than "fall". 17428

Your bracing etc looks OK to me.  Of course that's not an opinion based on engineering expertise nor on strength & statics calculations, but on they way I have put together improvised lifting set-ups.  That said I've seen (and used) a lot scarier set-ups.

BTW, I like the flag display as I have a Vietnam Era POW flag in my shop.

Chain fall is a term I picked up in the late 60s early 70s. A block and tackle was like the rope hoist Kenny showed the pic of. Oh well, new century - new terms!

its an endless chain or chain block hoist . a block and tackle is ropes and sheaves .the block part reffers to the sheave block or set of pullys a 2 and a 3 or whatever combination and the tackle reffers to the ropes

Yep we would call that a block and tackle, whilst inwardly acknowledging that the term more accurately refers to rope and pulleys. Would also accept 'endless chain'. Never heard of (nor taken part in) a chain fall, but then nearly everything I know about the U.S. comes from either Happy Days or the Godfather trilogy- and they called it Noo Joisy.
