<p>each chain regardless should be rated for the lift. The
'multiple' is nothing more than balance.<br>
If each chain were only rated at 250, and you were relying on 250
x4.... and one breaks on you... they all will go as you just over
loaded the remaining chains.<br>
with one point on hoist and one on engine, several chains, or
loops is another story. PAYOR!</p>

<p>I've not had a chain fail, but I have had a cheap ass Chinese
hook on cherry picker snap in half lifting a Jag engine. Buy a
beefier one at a mining supply or maybe Grainger or Tractor
supply. Cheap piece of mind.<br>

I’m not an engineer who calculates such things but I will give
this a big nope. 4 chains will need to carry the 1000 lb load -
but it is unlikely the load would be balanced perfectly on each
chain so at least one would exceed the 250lb limit. In the real
world I guess you could consider what safety factors are used to
define chain strength but regardless I think it’s true that each
chain would see different weight.

<div>Lets say I have a 1000lb engine. Will I be able to
lift this engine from one point on the engine and one
point on the engine hoist?</div>
<div>Now, if I lift the same engine from 4 points, and
one point on the engine hoist, can I get away with
using a chain rated at 250 lb?</div>
