Lever Hoists – Manual Lifting & Load Control for Industrial Use
Our lever hoists collection features a range of robust manual lifting devices designed for precise load control in industrial, construction, and maintenance environments. Lever hoists, also known as ratchet lever chain hoists, provide safe and efficient lifting and pulling capabilities when power-assisted equipment is impractical or unnecessary.
Lever hoists deliver reliable performance in a variety of applications where controlled force, accuracy, and rugged build quality are essential. Their mechanical ratchet mechanism allows operators to incrementally raise, lower, pull, or tension loads using a hand-operated lever, offering flexibility and control even in tight or hard-to-reach workspaces.
Engineered for Versatility and Strength
Lever hoists are widely used in sectors including:
-
Workshop and plant maintenance
-
Assembly and fabrication
-
Rigging and material handling
-
Construction and civil works
-
Mining and utilities
These tools are valued when precise manipulation of loads is required — for example, aligning heavy equipment, tensioning structures, or adjusting positioning during installation tasks.

FAQs
1. What is a ratchet lever hoist used for?
Ratchet lever hoists are used for lifting, pulling, and tensioning loads. They are ideal for positioning, alignment, and horizontal pulling tasks in confined or awkward spaces.
2. Can a ratchet lever hoist be used horizontally?
Yes. Ratchet lever hoists are designed for both vertical lifting and horizontal pulling, making them highly versatile for rigging and maintenance work.
3. What makes a ratchet lever hoist different from a chain hoist?
Ratchet lever hoists use a lever handle rather than a hand chain, offering greater control in tight spaces and allowing pulling as well as lifting.
