Heavy Duty Lever Chain Hoists

Steel

Aluminum

These hoists have a thick, rugged frame for long life. Use the ratcheting lever to lift and position your load, and the brake will securely hold it in place. A stop on one end of the chain prevents the chain from pulling completely through the hoist.

Hoists with enclosed gears are protected from debris and contamination for smooth operation.

360° rotating lever can be used in any position.

Hoists with overload warning have a lever that folds inward and alerts you with a click and an indicator light when the load exceeds capacity. Hoists with overload protection will not operate when the load exceeds capacity.

Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.

Pulley Hoists

With Mechanical Brake

With Cleat Brake

These hoists come with fibrous rope that is lighter in weight and easier to handle than chain.

Mechanical brake automatically holds your load in place when you stop pulling the rope.

Cleat brake locks by pulling the rope through the cleat to hold your load in place.

Stainless steel and plastic hoists are corrosion resistant.

Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.

Compact Electric Chain Hoists

These hoists are small and lightweight so you can easily move them between jobs. Use the handheld control to effortlessly lift your load. Overload protection prevents hoists from operating if the load exceeds capacity.

Hardwire hoists do not include a plug (view our offering of plugs).

For replacement parts, see Replacement Parts for Electric Chain Hoists.

Electric Wire Rope Hoists

Shown with Optional Mounting Bracket

These hoists are quieter and more stable than electric chain hoists. Use the handheld control to effortlessly lift your load.

Electromagnetic brake provides quick, secure braking and works when there is no power. Mechanical brake stops the load and holds it in place when you're not lifting.

Maximum height limit switch prevents the load from hitting the hoist. Minimum height limit switch prevents the load from hitting the ground.

Optional mounting bracket mounts to pipe or scaffolding up to 2 1/8" OD.

Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.

Variable-Speed Precise-Positioning Compact Air-Powered Chain Hoists

Change or hold the speed at any time during operation so you can start the hoist softly and gradually decelerate. They are small and lightweight so you can easily move them between jobs. Hoists have a cool-running motor for continuous operation. The brake stops the load and holds it in place when you're not lifting, and overload protection prevents hoists from operating if the load exceeds capacity.

A filter-regulator-lubricator (not included) is required to lubricate the gears and clean and regulate the incoming air.

Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.
