Overview

• SIDEWINDER LEVER HANDLE This first-of-its-kind lever handle design will revolutionize the ratchet lever hoist industry. Its unique foldable handle and 36° rotating lever increases productivity while reducing the risk of operator injury. CONVENIENT DIRECTIONAL INDICATOR Easy-to-use, highly visible directional indicator located on the handle clearly shows the operating direction as lifting, lowering or neutral. EASY & SMOOTH FREE CHAINING For quick take up and positioning of slack chain - even with one hand. Designed not to accidently free chain while under load. Cast chain end stop allows the user to easily position the chain in free-chaining mode and prevents it from entering the liftwheel and jamming the hoist. POSITIVE LOAD CONTROL Enclosed Weston-type brake stays clean and dry for precise load positioning. BUILT TO LAST Lightweight aluminum housing withstands rigorous use and features high-quality, long-lasting bearings. Powder coat finish provides extra protection in harsh environments. MEETS ASME B3.21 EXCELLENT CORROSION PROTECTION Robust chain guide and chain stripper made from cast steel and zinc-plated for corrosion protection. 1% LOAD TESTED ZINC-PLATED CHAIN Protects against corrosion. EASY-TO-INSPECT SWIVEL HOOKS Bolt-on hooks with nylon locks help users comply with ASME B3.21 and B3.1 inspection requirements. Hooks are forged, allowing them to yield under overload without breaking. Cast safety latches provide positive and secure load engagement.
