The Vintage Manning Maxwell & Moore Railroad Supply Co Chain Hoist is a collectible transportation artifact that would be a valuable addition to any railroad enthusiast's collection. This unique piece of hardware was likely used for lifting and transporting supplies for trains, showcasing the intricate machinery and tools used in the railroad industry. With its historical significance and potential rarity, this chain hoist offers a glimpse into the past of transportation and would make a fascinating display piece for collectors. 1 ton, I found this at a supply yard that was closing down. It probably would need to be serviced as it has not been used in a long time. I was able to make it go up and down, but I did not try anything heavy on it.
