Global Industrial 298642 Electric Cable Hoist 1500 Lb

Product Description

The GLOBAL INDUSTRIAL 298642 is a portable electric cable hoist rated for 1,500 pounds of lifting capacity. It is designed for intermittent use in shops, jobsites, and garages where lightweight, mobile lifting power is needed. The hoist supports both single-line and double-line configurations. In single-line mode, it lifts loads up to 39.4 feet at 29.5 feet per minute. In double-line mode, the lift height is 19.7 feet at 14.7 feet per minute. The cable diameter is 0.177 inches. This unit is not rated for continuous or heavy-duty operation. It ships as a single unit and requires a separate arm or bracket for mounting.

This hoist is suited for light-duty lifting tasks in residential garages, small workshops, and jobsite environments. It is a practical solution for mechanics, fabricators, and tradespeople who need portable overhead lifting without a fixed crane system. The S3 duty cycle rating of 20 to 10 minutes reflects its design for intermittent rather than sustained operation. Both single-line and double-line rigging configurations allow the operator to match lift height and speed to the job at hand.
