Ratchet lever hoists for lifting, pulling and tensioning in confined spaces. Capacities from 250kg to 10 tonnes, all with a test certificate, including Yale UNOplus and PUL-LIFT models. For straight vertical lifts over longer heights, a hand chain hoist is usually the better choice.
A lever hoist works vertically, horizontally or at an angle, which makes it the tool for pulling, tensioning and positioning as well as lifting. That versatility is the main reason to choose one over a chain block.
Slipping a tube over the handle to gain leverage overloads the mechanism and the chain. If the load will not move with the standard lever, the hoist is too small for the job.
Specify enough chain for the pull or lift required, with some to spare for rigging. Too little and the hoist cannot reach; far too much is extra weight to carry.
Lifting, pulling, tensioning and positioning in any orientation, which is what distinguishes it from a chain block.
No. Extending the handle overloads the mechanism and the chain. If the load will not move with the standard lever, use a larger hoist.
Enough for the pull or lift plus some for rigging. Excess chain is extra weight to carry to the job.
