SKS Lever hoists
A lever hoist is a manually operated lifting device used to lift loads.
In addition to the chain connected to the hoist hook, it features a side-to-side operated lever. Using pawls and a gear mechanism, the load can be easily lifted without the need for electricity.

Fact Box
The ratchet lever hoist lifts everything in the range:
250 kg to 3,000 kg
The lever hoist is quite similar to a manual chain hoist, but unlike the chain hoist, where the hand chain hangs alongside the load chain, the lever hoist has a fixed operating handle. This separate and fixed operating position makes it ideal in situations where it’s not practical to stand close to the load during lifting, or where the best control position is at the hoist’s suspension point.
- Cost-effective
- Fixed operating position independent of load location
