Lever hoist: characteristics and scope of application
Lever hoist is a compact, mobile and easy-to-use lifting mechanical device used for manipulating loads: lifting, lowering, positioning. A hand lever hoist is indispensable in places where there is no electricity and periodic lifting and moving of loads is required. Lever hoists, in contrast to chain geared hoists, are convenient for irregular operation in cramped conditions when lifting/lowering loads to basements, reinforced concrete wells, utility trenches, lower floor rooms and other hard-to-reach places. Hand lever hoists are used for construction, installation, dismantling and repair work at various facilities:
- technological lines of plants and factories;
- automotive workshops (service stations);
- construction sites;
- warehouses
- production workshops;
- private garages.
Installation and construction crews most often use hand hoists of small and medium lifting capacities of 0.5-2.0 tons, while equipment with a lifting capacity of up to 9.0 tons is ordered for the installation of large-tonnage metal structures.
The main disadvantage of hand lever hoists is that the operator must be in close proximity to the mechanism at a distance limited by the length of the handle. This creates minor difficulties and inconveniences when handling loads.
How to choose a chain hoist?
The chain hoist allows you to work with loads whose weight significantly exceeds the physical capabilities of a person due to the gear transmission. The mechanism is driven by the movement of the handle, which acts on the toothed drive wheel through the lifting chain.
A hand hoist is selected taking into account the following factors:
- intensity of operation;
- load capacity of the device;
- lifting height (standard - 1.5 m);
- manufacturer (country of origin);
- caliber and number of chains;
- distance between hooks;
- handle length.
Taking into account all these factors when choosing, the hand lever hoist will serve for a long time and without breakdowns.
