I chose a 2-ton chain hoist over a lever hoist for a tight lift in a boiler room

The space was so cramped I couldn't get a good swing with the lever. The chain gave me way more control to inch a pump into place without banging the pipes. Anyone have a go-to tool for lifts where you have maybe six inches of swing room?

Heard a project manager say 'value engineering is just a fancy word for cheaping out' on a call yesterday.
