The Yale Yalehandy 250 kg is the smallest ratchet lever hoist in the Yale range, designed for confined working conditions where a full-size hoist simply will not fit. With an extreme low own weight of just 2.2 kg and a very compact body, it is the right tool for service technicians, electricians, fitters and any tradesperson needing occasional pulling and lifting power without carrying a heavier industrial hoist. The enclosed design protects the internal parts from contamination, while a short hand lever with ergonomic rubber grip keeps operation comfortable.
Key Features
- Extreme low own weight and very compact design: Just 2.2 kg total — easy to use in confined working conditions and easy to carry on a service truck.
- Enclosed housing: The fully enclosed design protects the internal parts from dust, dirt and moisture contamination.
- Short hand lever with ergonomic rubber grip: Comfortable operation in a compact format — handle pull is just 25 daN at WLL.
- Disc-type load brake with corrosion-protected components: All parts of the disc-type load brake are manufactured from high-quality materials and are corrosion-protected.
- Standard free-chaining device: Quickly attach the load or pull the chain through the hoist in both directions.
