Jet 181205 Compact Lever Hoist 500 Lbs 5 Ft Chain

Product Description

The JET 181205 is a compact lever hoist rated for 500 pounds of lifting capacity, supplied with a 5-foot load chain. Lever hoists in this class use a ratcheting mechanical advantage to lift, lower, and hold loads in overhead rigging, pulling, and tensioning applications. The compact frame keeps overall tool size manageable in confined spaces, and the lever action allows fine load positioning without power. At 4.2 pounds, the unit is light enough for a single technician to carry and position on the job site. Licensed riggers, millwrights, and general contractors are the primary users.

This lever hoist is suited for light-duty overhead lifting, horizontal pulling, and load securing in industrial, construction, and maintenance environments. Typical applications include equipment positioning, pipe and duct rigging, and material handling in areas where electric or pneumatic hoists are not practical. The 5-foot chain provides adequate working range for most single-story overhead picks and low-clearance pulls.

Key Features

• 500-pound rated load capacity for light-duty lifting and pulling
• 5-foot load chain included for immediate use out of the box
• Compact, low-profile body designed for use in confined or restricted spaces
• Lever ratchet mechanism allows precise load positioning and controlled lowering
• Lightweight at 4.2 pounds for single-operator portability

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use lever hoist for light industrial and construction rigging applications requiring a 500-pound capacity hand-operated chain hoist.

Installation Notes

Lever hoists must be suspended from a rated overhead anchor point, beam clamp, or rigging hardware with a working load limit equal to or greater than the hoist capacity. Verify the anchor structure and all rigging hardware are rated before applying any load. Follow ASME B30.21 standards for lever hoist inspection, use, and maintenance. Never exceed the rated load capacity and inspect the load chain and hook latches before each use.
