Lever hoist mode of operation

The mode of operation of a lever hoist from Kito is similar to that of a belt tensioner for load securing belts. In a lever hoist, torque is transmitted via a lever to a drive shaft and the ratchet connected to the drive shaft. From the ratchet, a tractive force is exerted via a gearbox on a chain that is connected to the load to be lifted or secured. By means of different gear ratios and lever lengths, lifting forces of up to 9,000 kilos can be achieved with a lever hoist, and up to 50,000 kg with products of the CB series.

Each lever hoist is equipped with an idling function, the so-called Kito Original freewheel, which allows the unloaded chain to be moved quickly to the desired position. A load brake or load pressure brake prevents the chain and load from moving unintentionally. Lever hoists can be used to lift loads and tighten transport belts. They are always operated manually. Unlike chain hoists, lever hoists can be used both vertically and horizontally.

Thanks to the advantages mentioned, lever hoists are often used in mining, shipbuilding, or in agriculture and forestry for pulling and lifting heavy loads.

Frequently asked questions

Kito LB Lever Hoists can lift loads weighing up to 9,000 kg, CB series products up to 50,000 kg.

At Kito, compliance with the highest safety requirements for lever hoists begins during the planning stage. Modern quality management processes, a strict quality assurance system and certification according to international standards including DGUV-GS certification (tested safety) guarantee reliability and maximum safety for users worldwide.

Kito lever hoists are used wherever heavy loads have to be lifted or secured. Typical areas of application are agriculture and forestry, shipbuilding and mining.

Yes, the load chains of all Kito lever hoists are well protected against corrosion by electroless nickel plating. Kito is the only manufacturer in the world to use this process for corrosion protection of load chains. Further advantages of electroless nickel plating are reduced wear and hydrogen embrittlement. The service life of the chains is significantly extended.
