The robust

An advanced high-frequency heat treatment process provides special hardness on all major load-bearing parts. The process creates a robust hoist that can easily withstand any environment.

The upper and lower hooks have a particularly large inner diameter and sufficient space for slings. The hook-eye safety latch with guided hook interlock on the upper and lower hooks prevents slings from slipping out unintentionally.

The GS-label for "Tested Safety" has been recognised worldwide as a safety mark for years. The seal is only awarded to products that undergo voluntary quality control and comply with the legal requirements of the German Product Safety Act (ProdSG). The KITO CB and CX Manual Chain Hoists and the KITO LB and LX Lever Hoists have been awarded the GS-label "Tested Safety" mark by the German Social Accident Insurance (DGUV) since 2007.

High performance load pressure brake with machined ratchet disc. Increased safety due to new, strengthened design.

KITO is the only manufacturer in the world that nickel-plates its load chain electrolessly. The KITO high quality load chain protects against mechanical damage. The quality class T, version V 1000 N/mm² is above the minimum requirement of 800 N/mm². The symbiosis of hoist and chain ensures the best possible safety, durability and efficiency. The load chain is characterised by an excellent permanent bending resistance, a special surface hardness, a prevention of hydrogen embrittlement and a high tensile strength as well as a very high breaking stress. The load chain can withstand operating temperatures from -40 °C to +200 °C.
