About Chain Hoist Rentals
In any heavy lifting, pulling, or positioning operation, precision and safety are non-negotiable. Manual chain hoists provide critical, controlled lifting power in environments where electricity or pneumatics are unavailable or impractical. This precise mechanical advantage helps operators safely spot heavy loads, align structural steel, or pull tension on marine assemblies.
Holloway Houston Inc. (HHI) maintains a dedicated rental fleet of heavy-duty chain blocks for the Gulf Coast region. Choosing to rent is a cost-effective strategy that removes the long-term investment, storage, and recertification costs of ownership. Whether you're performing a critical offshore lift or a routine maintenance swap, our equipment is load-tested, certified, and ready for immediate deployment. Headquartered at 5833 Armour Dr, Houston, TX 77020, we back every rental with over 65 years of rigging expertise.
Specialized Rental Hoist Applications
Holloway Houston stocks rigging hoists designed for demanding industrial applications. These systems support precise load placement and extreme durability under actual field conditions.
Heavy Equipment Placement
The 20-ton capacity allows riggers to safely lift and position heavy machinery, valves, and skids in tight industrial facilities where cranes cannot operate.
Offshore and Marine Rigging
Built with rugged steel bodies, these hoists are ideal for offshore platforms and vessel engine rooms where corrosion resistance and reliability are paramount.
Structural Alignment
Used extensively in construction to bring heavy steel beams or concrete forms into exact alignment before final bolting or welding.
