I have a 2 ton Coffing manual chain hoist that I am using for various

However, the driving chain (which you pull by hand) is too long and,
because it loops all the way through, I cannot just hang the excess of
it. So, it is a mess on the floor.

What I do not know is what it is called, and on what page of say
mcMaster carr catalog can I buy its equivalent. It has to be a pretty
exact match.

Why don't you just shorten what you have?
