To solve the problem that in the conventional chain hoist usable in reverse hoisting, a non-load side chain hanging down from a load sheave falls down without being stored in the chain bucket at the time of using by the standard specification, and it gets in and out of the chain bucket at the time of the temperature rise of the lower side hook.

The chain hoist 1 usable in reverse hoisting is provided with a bracket 12 which guides the vertical movement of the non-load side chain 7 delivered from a circular arc chain guide 3 at the time of using in reverse hoisting and a long hole 14 which is provided on the bracket 12, extended to the side of the chain hoist body 1 and the downward side of the chain hoist, and hooks the bucket 15 in a reverse direction.
