Lever Hoists

A lever hoist is a hand-powered type of manual chain hoist that is operated by a lever action, rather than pulling a hand chain like you see on a manual chain block. Lever hoists are also known within the industry as pull lifts (or Pul-Lift) because they often serve as a dual-purpose machine in that they are not only used to lift a load, but they are also commonly used to pull, separate, tension and hold a load.

A lever hoist is a very versatile piece of lifting equipment and is often preferred over a manual chain block because of the ease in quickly altering the hook position (when not under load), with the free-wheel function that is unique to the lever hoist.

Within our range, you can find ratchet lever hoists from the likes of Yale, Tiger Lifting, Kito, Hackett, Tractel, Pfaff and Hadef, among others, all with this as a standard feature.

Our lever hoists are made from many different materials, such as a pressed steel body, a cast iron body or an aluminium construction, and we offer you a great choice online in the hope that we will have at least one lever hoist from the manufacturers mentioned above that will suit your lifting or pulling needs.

As standard, most of the lever hoists that we offer have a 1.5 metre lift height (the odd 1 or 2 are supplied with a 3 metre standard lift height), but, on all models, the height of lift or chain length can be tailored to your requirements.

Within the range, we also offer lever hoists with special key features, such as Atex protection and/or corrosion-resistant units that have been specifically designed for subsea and offshore use.

Please do not hesitate to contact us if you need any assistance or advice in choosing the most appropriate option.
