ABOUT LEVER HOISTS

What is a Lever Hoist?

A lever hoist is a compact mechanical lifting device used to lift, pull and position loads in a controlled manner. Also known as a ratchet lever hoist or come-along, it uses a manually operated lever mechanism to apply force through a load chain.

Lever hoists are widely used across manufacturing, engineering, construction, maintenance and material handling applications. Their compact and portable design makes them particularly useful where lifting or pulling equipment needs to be easily transported or used in restricted spaces.

Lever hoists are available in a range of lifting capacities, chain lengths and configurations, allowing equipment to be selected according to the weight of the load and the requirements of the application. They can be used for lifting, pulling, tensioning and positioning loads where controlled manual operation is required.

Carl Stahl Evita supplies a range of lever hoists from established manufacturers, with options available for a variety of industrial lifting requirements. Our team can help you select suitable equipment based on your load capacity, lifting height, application and working environment.

CHAIN HOIST SELECTION

Choosing the Right Lever Hoist

Lifting Capacity

Choose a lever hoist with a suitable working load limit (WLL) for the load being handled. Our range includes different capacities to accommodate everything from lighter-duty lifting and pulling to demanding industrial applications.

Lifting Height & Chain Length

Consider the distance the load needs to be lifted or the length of chain required for pulling and positioning. Available chain lengths and lifting heights vary between models.

Lifting & Pulling Requirements

Consider how the lever hoist will be used. Lever hoists can be suitable for lifting, pulling, tensioning and positioning loads, with different configurations available for various applications.

Working Environment

Consider where the lever hoist will be used, including available space, frequency of use and environmental conditions. A compact, portable hoist can be particularly useful where access is restricted or equipment needs to be moved between locations.
