Lever Hoists
Hand-powered lever hoists or ratchet-operated lever chain hoists are also known within the industry as pull lifts (or Pul-Lift) because they are not only used to lift a load, they are also used to pull, separate, tension and hold a load. They are a very versatile piece of lifting equipment and are often preferred over a manual chain block because of the ease in quickly altering the hook position (when not under load), with the free-wheel function that is unique to the lever hoist and within our range, you can find ratchet lever hoists from the likes of Yale, Tiger Lifting, Kito, Hackett, Tractel, Pfaff and Hadef, among others, all with this as a standard feature.
Our lever hoists are made from many different materials such as a pressed steel body, cast iron body and aluminium construction and we offer you a great choice online in the hope that we will have at least one hoist from the manufacturers mentioned above that will suit our customers' requirements.
The height of lift can be to our customers' requirements and we can offer special key features, such as Atex protection and/or specifically designed for subsea and offshore use. Please contact us if you need any assistance in choosing the most appropriate option.

Further Information on Lever Hoists
With our comprehensive range, we offer a wide selection of lever hoists that are built to a high-quality standard from different manufacturers, like Yale and Tiger.
Amongst the different features that we have to offer are lightweight aluminium-bodied units and a selection of different heavy-duty options some made from cast iron or lever hoists with a very fine ratchet mechanism for precise controlled movement.
We also have a range that is corrosion-resistant to the level that they are designed for subsea underwater use which can be supplied with zinc-plated, corrosion-resistant or stainless steel load chain. In addition to this, the end terminations (standard latch load hooks) can also be replaced by the likes of self-locking hooks, clevis shackles or egg links.
Contact our sales or technical department if you need any assistance or further information to enable the right choice to be made when selecting the most appropriate hoist for your application.
Ratchet lever hoists are a really convenient piece of portable lifting equipment that can be quickly and easily set up and they can be used in most environments, indoor and outdoor use, in a workshop or an offshore oil platform etc.
Our lever hoists can be supplied in capacities from 250kg right up to a 20-tonne SWL, and are the ideal solution where portability, ease of use (they are a very easy-to-use lifting tool that requires minimal training), cost-effectiveness, lack of electrical power supply and durability are a requirement.
Lever Hoist Uses
A lever hoist is a lifting, pulling and tensioning device. A ratchet mechanism pulls the load chain through the hoist body shortening the distance between the load hooks, the lever action of the handle reduces the manual effort required to operate the hoist. Every unit has a maximum safe working load and this should never be exceeded.
Lever hoists are rated as a vertical lift but they can be used for tensioning at angles, though the load must be calculated by the competent person to ensure that the hoist is not overloaded. In instances such as this, it is deemed good practice to have a load measuring device in-line (the likes of a load cell) to monitor the load as tension is applied.
When pulling a load, such things to consider are:
- Is the load in rolling (on wheels)?
- Is the load on a level flat surface or on a slope?
- Is the surface smooth concrete?
- Are you pulling through sand? Etc.
To summarise, the maximum load that can be pulled is dependent on user assessment taking into account the amount of drag/resistance.
Where did the term Pul-Lift come from?
Originally the term Pul-Lift name came to life with the invention of the Yale D85 and C85 as early back as 1936 - To date, over 1 million original Yale Pul-lifts have been sold
