INSTRUCTIONS & CAUTIONS
Proper Mounting for Safe Operation
Before using your chain lever hoist, make sure it’s securely mounted to a trusted anchor point or trolley system. This ensures stability during operation and prevents accidents. Always double-check all hooks, latches, and bolts for tightness. A secure setup is key to a smooth and safe lifting process
Avoid Overloading the Hoist
Check the hoist’s rated capacity before use. Overloading can lead to serious damage. Ensure the weight of your load is within the hoist’s capacity, and choose a hoist with a higher weight rating if possible. It’s always better to have extra capacity for added safety.
Regular Inspection for Safe Use
Inspect your chain lever hoist regularly before every use. Look for any damage to the chain, hooks, or lifting mechanism. Pay close attention to the load chain for signs of wear, deformation, or rust. If any parts seem worn or damaged, replace them immediately to avoid failure.
Operate Smoothly and Safely
When lifting or lowering loads, always apply steady, controlled force. Jerky movements can damage the hoist and strain the load. If you feel resistance or hear unusual sounds during operation, stop immediately and inspect the hoist. Slow, deliberate movements ensure longer life and safer operation.

FAQ
What is a Lever Chain Hoist?
A lever chain hoist is a portable lifting device designed to lift or lower heavy loads. It operates by pulling a hand lever, which engages a gear mechanism, allowing you to lift loads without electricity. Ideal for tight spaces, outdoor environments, or areas where electric power isn’t available, this tool is reliable, easy to use, and essential for many industrial and construction applications.
How to Use a Lever Chain Hoist?
Secure Attachment:
Attach the lever chain hoist securely to an anchor point or trolley. Ensure it is mounted correctly before use.Position the Load:
Position the load directly under the hook, ensuring it is balanced and stable.Raise the Load:
Pull the lever to raise the load by moving the chain in the desired direction. Ensure smooth motion during operation.Lower the Load:
To lower the load, pull the lever in the opposite direction. Maintain control throughout the process to avoid accidents.Check for Safety:
Always verify the hoist is securely mounted and the load is balanced. Regularly inspect for wear and lubricate the chain as needed.
Lever Hoist vs Chain Hoist: What’s the Difference?
Operation: A lever hoist is operated manually with a lever, giving you more control over the load. A chain hoist uses a hand-pulling mechanism to lift the load.
Suitability: Lever hoists are ideal for confined spaces and offer more precise control. Chain hoists are better for continuous and larger lifting tasks.
Lever Hoist vs Hand Chain Hoist: What’s the Difference?
Operation Mechanism: A lever hoist operates using a manual lever, allowing better control and precision when lifting. A hand chain hoist relies on pulling a chain to raise or lower the load.
Portability: Lever hoists are more portable and suitable for tight spaces, while hand chain hoists are typically used for heavier, larger loads.
Lever Hoist vs Chain Block: Which is Better?
Design and Function: A chain block uses a hand-pulled chain to lift heavy loads and is designed for heavy-duty tasks. A lever hoist provides precise control and is better for portability and tight spaces.
Suitability: For tight spaces and control during lifting, the lever hoist is the better option, while chain blocks are better suited for larger, heavy-duty lifting applications.
What Safety Features Should I Look for in a Lever Hoist?
Reliable Brake System: Ensures load slippage is prevented, providing greater control and safety during lifting.
High Tensile Strength Chain: Guarantees durability and strength, even during heavy-duty lifting tasks.
Forged Steel Hooks: Offer superior strength and reliability to prevent accidents or damage during operation.
Manual Load Limiter: Helps avoid overloading the hoist, ensuring it operates within safe capacity limits.
Ratchet Lever: Provides smoother operation and better control during lifting and lowering.
How Do I Maintain a Lever Chain Hoist?
Regular Cleaning: Clean the hoist frequently to remove dirt, debris, and grime, ensuring smooth operation.
Pre-Use Inspection: Always inspect the hoist before each use, checking for signs of wear, damage, or corrosion, particularly on the chain and hooks.
Lubrication: Apply lubricant to the chain and mechanism to keep them operating smoothly and to prevent excessive wear.
Rust and Corrosion Check: Inspect for rust or corrosion and replace any parts that show signs of damage to ensure safe and reliable performance.
Can I Use a Lever Hoist for Horizontal Lifting?
Yes, a lever hoist can be used for horizontal lifting, but it’s primarily designed for vertical lifting. To lift horizontally, ensure the hoist is properly secured, and the load is balanced. It’s important to confirm that the hoist is used within its rated load capacity to avoid damaging the equipment. Always follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for horizontal lifting.
What Is the Warranty on a Lever Chain Hoist?
Most lever chain hoists come with a manufacturer’s warranty, usually ranging from 1 to 5 years, depending on the brand and model. The warranty covers defects in material or workmanship but may not cover damage caused by improper use, overload, or lack of maintenance. Always review the warranty terms before purchasing and ensure the hoist is used according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
