Manual Lever Chain Hoist, 6T 6000KG Capacity Heavy Duty Come Along, 3M Lift G80 Alloy Steel Chain With Dual Pawl Mechanical Brake, 360° Rotating Hooks, for Warehouse Construction Garage

A seized engine mount, a fallen tree across the driveway, a steel beam that needs shifting fifty millimetres to the left — none of those jobs come with a power point nearby. A lever hoist works off your arm, so the only thing it needs is somewhere solid to hook onto.

Ratchet it, don't crank it

The lever swings through a short arc rather than a full turn, which is what makes this useful in a wheel arch or between two pallets where a chain block's hand chain would never fit. Its handle rotates through 360 degrees and carries a non-slip grip, so you can set it at whatever angle the job leaves you. A three-position selector switches between lift, neutral and lower. Neutral is the one that saves time: it frees the chain so you can pull it out to length by hand before any load goes on, instead of ratcheting metre after metre.

How the load stays put

Load holding comes down to the brake, and this one uses a Weston dual pawl mechanism that engages against the gear train instead of relying on a single catch. Two pawls share the holding force, which spreads pressure across more metal and is the reason the supplier describes it as resisting slip and sudden drops. Practically, it means the load stays where you stopped it when you let go of the lever, and the descent when you do lower it is controlled rather than a run-away. Less shock loading through the mechanism also means fewer worn parts over its life.

Chain, hooks and three metres of reach

Lifting chain is graded, and G80 alloy is the industrial grade — heat-treated so it takes the load in tension without stretching the way mild steel links do. Here it runs 10 mm thick over a 3 m (10 ft) lift, galvanised against rust for outdoor and wash-down work. An upgraded guided slot keeps the chain feeding cleanly rather than jamming at the entry point, and the hooks swivel through 360 degrees so you can line the hoist up with an awkward anchor without putting a twist through the chain.

Key features

• Weston dual pawl brake: two pawls engage the gear train, so the load stays where you stopped it.
• G80 alloy chain: 10 mm galvanised links over a 3 m lift, sized for industrial work rather than occasional use.
• Three-position selector: lift, neutral or lower, changed with a flick of the lever.
• 360-degree handle and hooks: set the lever and the anchor at whatever angle the job allows.
• Guided chain slot: keeps the chain feeding evenly instead of snagging at the entry point.
• All-steel body: the supplier describes it as resisting impact and breakage on site.

Before you lift with it

• The rated capacity is quoted here exactly as the supplier gives it. The supplier does not state whether that figure applies to a single or a double chain fall, so check the rating plate on the unit itself before you load it, and work to whichever figure is lower.
• No standard, certification or third-party test rating is claimed for this hoist. The supplier names none, so none is stated here.
• A hoist lifts and holds a load — it is not a work support. Never stand, reach or work under a suspended load. Block, crib or transfer the load onto rated stands before anyone goes underneath it.
• Inspect the chain, hooks and hook latches for wear, stretch or distortion before every lift, and keep the pull in line with the chain rather than dragging it sideways.
• The anchor point carries everything the hoist does. Rate it accordingly.

Sized for workshop, warehouse and site work — engine removals, steel erection, machinery moves — wherever there is a solid anchor overhead and no power point within reach.
