A lever hoist is a manual lifting device that uses a lever and a ratchet mechanism to lift heavy loads. It consists of a chain, a hook, and a lever arm, allowing users to lift items with minimal effort. Lever hoists are commonly used in construction, warehouses, and for moving heavy machinery. These tools are designed for portability and ease of use, making them ideal for various applications. They can lift loads vertically and are often used in tight spaces where other lifting equipment may not fit. Lever hoists are rated for specific weight limits, ensuring safe operation.
