Spare parts for Taurus chain blocks
Spare parts for the Taurus chain block range are available on request. Taurus is Toco’s medium duty chain block range, supplied from 0.5 to 20 ton in single and double fall configurations, compliant with SANS 1594 and fitted with load chain to SANS 1592. Send Toco the capacity and model and the team will confirm availability.
Repair or replace a worn chain block
In most cases a Taurus chain block can be repaired rather than replaced. Toco operates in house testing and repair facilities, so technicians strip, assess and rebuild the unit, then load test and recertify it before it returns to site. Repair is usually faster and more cost effective than replacement and keeps the equipment compliant.
Testing and recertification
A chain block is a lifting machine that can suspend and halt a load, so it requires a Performance (Load) Test Certificate, valid for 12 months. Lifting equipment must also be inspected at intervals not exceeding three months under DMR 18(10)(e) of the OHS Act. Toco recertifies after inspection and issues the correct certificate for the equipment class.
