Tips: What is a lever chain hoist?
A lever chain hoist, also known as a lever hoist or a ratchet lever hoist, is a mechanical device used for lifting and moving heavy loads. It is commonly used in various industries, construction sites, warehouses, and workshops.
The lever chain hoist consists of a sturdy housing containing a ratchet mechanism, a load chain, and a handle lever. The housing typically has a hook on the top for attaching it to a support structure or a lifting point. The load chain is made up of interconnected links that can support the weight of the load.
To use a lever chain hoist, the operator hooks the hoist to the load using the top hook and secures it in place. By pulling and pushing the handle lever, the operator activates the ratchet mechanism, which allows the load chain to move in one direction while preventing it from slipping back. This mechanism enables the hoist to lift the load incrementally with each lever movement.
Lever chain hoists are designed to provide mechanical advantage, allowing users to lift loads that are much heavier than they could lift by hand alone. They are available in various lifting capacities, typically ranging from a few hundred kilograms to several tons. The hoists are compact, portable, and easy to operate, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications.
It is important to note that lever chain hoists should be used within their specified weight capacities and following appropriate safety guidelines to prevent accidents or damage to the equipment.
