Jet 181210 Compact Lever Hoist 1/4 Ton 10 Ft Lift

Product Description

The JET 181210 is a compact lever hoist rated at 1/4 ton capacity with a 10-foot lift. It is built for demanding industrial rigging, lifting, and load-securing applications where space and weight are primary concerns. The aluminum alloy housing keeps the unit at 4.9 pounds, reducing fatigue during transport and setup. A five-gear drive train delivers mechanical advantage, requiring less operator force to lift or pull a load. A dual-pawl Weston-style brake system splits load force to opposite sides of the ratchet gear, providing reliable load security during hold. A nylon carrying case is included for field transport and storage.

This hoist is suited for industrial maintenance, rigging, construction, and confined-space applications where low headroom clearance is required. It operates in inverted, vertical, horizontal, and angled load orientations, making it flexible across job scenarios. The compact body profile allows use in areas where full-size chain hoists will not fit. Licensed trades including millwrights, ironworkers, and maintenance mechanics are the primary installers and operators of this unit.

Key Features

• Aluminum alloy housing reduces total weight to 4.9 pounds for easier transport and low-headroom use
• Five-gear drive train provides mechanical advantage, reducing required pull force
• Dual-pawl Weston-style brake splits load across ratchet gear for increased load security
• Grade 100 load chain offers greater strength than Grade 80 chain and resists corrosion
• Alloy steel hooks rotate 360 degrees for flexible rigging; hooks stretch visibly under overload as a safety indicator
• Cast steel safety latches on hooks; heat-treated load plates
• Nylon carrying case included for field transport and equipment protection

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style compact lever hoist for general industrial rigging and load-securing applications requiring 1/4-ton capacity and up to 10 feet of lift.

Installation Notes

Installation and operation should be performed by qualified rigging personnel familiar with OSHA regulations and ANSI/ASME B30.21 and HST-3 standards. Verify that the anchor point, hook, and rigging hardware are rated at or above the load being lifted before use. Inspect the load chain, hooks, and safety latches for wear or deformation before each use. Never exceed the rated working load limit.
