The Yale AL is a lightweight aluminium ratchet lever hoist for technicians and engineers who carry their equipment across jobs — with the enclosed housing, hand lever and hand wheel all manufactured from high-quality aluminium, it combines low own weight with reliable performance, a hoist that should not be missing from any service truck. Precise needle bearings keep operating effort low, and a standard free-chaining device lets you quickly attach the load or pull chain through the hoist in either direction.
Key Features
- Aluminium housing, hand lever and hand wheel: All key external components manufactured from high-quality aluminium for low own weight — a significant advantage when the hoist needs to be carried over longer distances.
- Low effort on hand lever: Precise needle bearings inside the gearbox keep operating effort low — just 20 daN at WLL for the 750 kg, 28 daN for the 3,000 kg.
- Standard free-chaining device: Quickly attach the load or pull the chain through the hoist in both directions.
- Cast-in chain guide: The chain guide is cast directly into the body to ensure faultless chain movement under load.
- Alloyed steel link chain, zinc-plated: Load chain in accordance with national and international standards.

Suitable Applications
The Yale AL is the universal service-truck ratchet lever hoist.
