There is actually no fixed answer to the question of "how many people need to pull a 5-ton chain hoist", as it depends on various factors such as the design of the hoist, usage scenarios, working conditions, and the strength of the operator. However, I can explore this issue from a general perspective.

Firstly, a chain hoist is a device that uses a chain to lift heavy objects, and its working principle is usually achieved by using a motor or manually operating the chain to lift and lower heavy objects. For a 5-ton chain hoist, if it is an electric hoist, it is mainly driven by an electric motor, and the operator only needs to operate it through the control handle or remote control, without directly pulling the chain. Therefore, in this case, theoretically only one person is needed to operate it.

However, if it is a manual chain hoist, the operator needs to directly pull the chain to lift the heavy object. At this point, the required number of people depends on the strength of the operators and the weight of the heavy object. For a 5-ton heavy object, even with multiple people working together, sufficient strength and skills are required to operate safely. But the exact number of people needed cannot be given, as it depends on various factors such as each person's strength, work experience, and working conditions.

In addition, it should be noted that when operating chain hoists, relevant safety operating procedures must be strictly followed to ensure the safety of operators and the normal operation of equipment. In situations where multiple people need to collaborate, communication and coordination should be strengthened to ensure the synchronization and safety of operations.
