Jet 181215 Compact Lever Hoist 500 Lbs 15 Foot Chain

Product Description

The JET 181215 is a compact lever hoist designed for controlled lifting, pulling, and tensioning tasks in industrial, construction, and maintenance environments. Rated at 500 lbs capacity with a 15-foot lift chain, this hoist delivers reliable mechanical advantage in a lightweight package weighing 5.7 pounds. The compact form factor makes it well suited for confined spaces and overhead rigging situations where full-size chain hoists are impractical. It is installed and operated by qualified riggers, millwrights, ironworkers, and maintenance technicians who need precise load control without powered equipment.

This lever hoist is used in applications where manual load control is required, including equipment positioning, tensioning cable and strap assemblies, and short-distance material movement. Typical scenarios include construction sites, fabrication shops, utility work, and industrial maintenance. The 15-foot chain length provides adequate working range for most single-level lifts and pull applications encountered in the field.

Key Features

• 500 lbs rated load capacity for reliable single-line lifts and pulls
• 15-foot load chain provides extended working range for overhead and horizontal applications
• Compact, lightweight design at 5.7 pounds for portability in the field
• Lever-operated mechanical advantage for precise load positioning and tensioning
• Sold individually as a complete, ready-to-use unit

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose compact lever hoist suitable for standard industrial and construction rigging applications rated at 500 lbs working load limit.

Installation Notes

Lever hoists must be installed and operated by trained personnel familiar with rigging practices and applicable ASME B30.21 standards for lever hoists. Before use, inspect the hook latch, load chain, and body for damage or wear. Never exceed the rated load capacity, and ensure the anchor point is rated to support the applied load. Do not use a lever hoist as a substitute for a permanent lifting device without verifying the rated capacity and condition of all rigging components.
