Milwaukee 3 Ton 15 Ft. Lift Hand Chain Hoist
Product Overview
The Milwaukee 3 Ton 15 Ft. Lift Hand Chain Hoist is a manually operated lifting solution designed for controlled handling of heavy loads in industrial, construction, maintenance, and material-handling environments. With a 3-ton rated capacity and 15-foot standard lift, it provides substantial lifting capability without requiring electrical power.
The hoist uses a hardened load chain designed for flexibility and long wear. Its mechanical design incorporates a wheel cover with guide slots to help minimize chain jamming and slipping during operation. Milwaukee's 3-ton hand-hoist range also uses a Weston-type load brake, providing controlled load holding during lifting operations.

Milwaukee's published documentation identifies 9678-20 as the 3-ton, 15-foot-lift configuration. Milwaukee also has a legacy/current product listing for the same 3-ton/15-foot configuration under 9778-20, which is marked as no longer available; verify the catalog number with the seller when ordering replacement or discontinued inventory.
3-Ton Lifting Capacity
The hoist is rated for a 3-ton load capacity (3,000 kg) when operated according to the manufacturer's instructions and within its rated configuration.
The 3-ton capacity makes this model suitable for substantial lifting and positioning tasks where a manual chain hoist is preferred over powered equipment. Proper rigging, mounting, load assessment, and operating procedures remain essential whenever suspended loads are involved.
15-Foot Standard Lift
The 15-foot lift height provides extended vertical travel for applications where loads need to be raised or lowered over a considerable distance.
The 9678-20 configuration is specifically listed by Milwaukee as having a 15-foot lift. Its rated-load hand-chain pull is 65 lb., while approximately 154 feet of hand chain must be overhauled to raise the load by one foot.
Hardened Load Chain
A hardened load chain is used to provide a combination of flexibility and wear resistance. This is particularly useful in manual lifting equipment, where the chain repeatedly travels through the hoist mechanism during lifting and lowering operations.
Milwaukee specifically describes the hardened load chain as being designed for flexibility and long wear.
Weston-Type Load Brake
The hoist incorporates a Weston-type load brake. This mechanical braking arrangement is designed to control and hold the suspended load during operation without requiring lubrication of the brake itself.
The braking system is an important part of the hoist's controlled manual lifting operation. Operators should always follow Milwaukee's inspection, testing, and operating instructions before placing a load in service.
Wheel Cover With Guide Slots
The wheel cover incorporates guide slots intended to minimize chain jamming and slipping. This helps keep the hand chain properly guided through the lifting mechanism during operation.
The result is a straightforward mechanical design intended for dependable manual handling in demanding work environments.
Forged Swivel Hooks With Latches
The hoist uses forged swivel hooks with safety latches. The swivel design helps reduce twisting of the chain, while the latches are intended to help prevent the load from unintentionally coming off the hook when the chain becomes slack.
The hooks should always be properly seated on an appropriate lifting point before applying a load.
Typical Applications
The Milwaukee 3 Ton 15 Ft. Lift Hand Chain Hoist can be used for applications such as:
Industrial material handling
Construction-site lifting
Equipment installation and positioning
Machinery maintenance
Workshop and fabrication operations
Plant maintenance
Structural and mechanical work
Controlled lifting where electrical power is unavailable or unnecessary
The hoist should only be used for applications within its rated capacity and according to applicable lifting and rigging requirements.

The standard package contains:
1 × Milwaukee 3 Ton 15 Ft. Hand Chain Hoist
Catalog No. 9678-20
Milwaukee's product documentation lists one hand chain hoist in the box for the 9678-20 configuration.
Safety and Operating Notes
A hand chain hoist is a load-bearing lifting device and must be operated with appropriate care.
Never exceed the hoist's rated capacity.
Inspect the hoist and load chain before use.
Do not operate a hoist with a twisted, kinked, or damaged load chain.
Ensure the upper hook and lower hook are properly engaged.
Keep personnel clear of suspended loads.
Do not allow more than one operator to pull the same hand chain at the same time.
Do not modify the hoist.
Use only appropriate Milwaukee replacement parts.
Follow applicable overhead-hoist safety standards and the manufacturer's operating instructions.
Milwaukee specifically recommends reading ASME B30.16 and the operator's manual before operating the hoist.
