faqs about lever hoists

What is the difference between a lever hoist and a ratchet hoist?

The terms are often used interchangeably in the lifting industry. A ratchet hoist refers to the internal ratcheting mechanism that allows controlled, incremental movement of a load, while a lever hoist describes the complete tool and its method of operation using a hand lever. An industrial lever hoist combines both features to provide precise lifting, pulling, and positioning in demanding work environments.

Can a lever hoist be used for pulling as well as lifting?

Yes. One of the main advantages of a lever hoist is its ability to both lift loads vertically and pull or tension loads horizontally. When used within its rated capacity and in line with manufacturer instructions, lever hoists are commonly used for alignment, rigging, and load positioning tasks across industrial and construction settings.

Are lever hoists compliant with United States safety regulations?

Yes. Lever hoists supplied for use in the United States are designed to meet applicable OSHA workplace safety requirements and ASME B30 standards for lifting and rigging equipment. These regulations help ensure that industrial lever hoist products meet recognized safety and performance criteria for workplace use.

Do I need training to use a lever hoist safely?

Yes. OSHA requires employers to ensure that workers are trained to operate lifting equipment safely. Proper training helps operators understand correct use, load limits, inspection practices, and hazard awareness. Our Lever Hoists Safety Training Course is designed to support compliance and promote safer lifting operations.

How long does delivery take for lever hoists in the United States?

Delivery times depend on product availability, shipping method, and destination. Estimated delivery dates and tracking details are provided at checkout so you can plan your project timelines with confidence. Alternatively, our team can advise.

How do I choose the right lever hoist for my application?

Consider the maximum load weight, required lifting or pulling distance, available working space, and the environment where the lever hoist will be used. Always select a lever hoist with a working load limit that exceeds your heaviest expected load to maintain a safe operating margin.
