Had a manual. It was on a jib crane. Hated it. It's very slow. If you wanted to raise it 4 feet it would take a minute or 2. The chain wanted to catch on everything while running it. For example pulling a motor on semi the chain wants to be rubbing on the engine and grabs fitting or hoses. Also the chain was long enough that it would touch the floor. So if there is oil on the floor, now your chain is covered in oil! Go get a pail of diesel and run the chain through the fuel to clean it. Found a new 4 ton powered up down with powered trolley for 1800. If you want a manual one bring 2 cold 30 packs and it's yours.
