Jet 181505 Compact Lever Hoist 0.50 Ton 5 Ft Chain

Product Description

The JET 181505 is a compact lever hoist rated at 0.50 ton (1,000 pounds) capacity, supplied with a 5-foot lift chain. Lever hoists in this class are mechanical chain-pull tools used to lift, lower, and tension loads in confined or overhead spaces where powered equipment cannot reach. The compact body keeps the unit lightweight and manageable at 6.22 pounds, making it practical for single-technician use in the field. Licensed riggers, millwrights, HVAC mechanics, and general contractors reach for tools like this when positioning rooftop equipment, tensioning conduit runs, or pulling ductwork into alignment.

This hoist is suited for light-duty lifting and load-positioning tasks in residential and light commercial applications. Typical install scenarios include setting rooftop HVAC units, lifting fan coil assemblies, hoisting pipe sections into overhead brackets, and rigging equipment during mechanical room installations. The 5-foot chain length covers most standard overhead reach requirements in these environments without adding unnecessary bulk to the tool package.

Key Features

• 0.50 ton (1,000 pound) rated load capacity for light-duty lifting tasks
• 5-foot lift chain included — ready to use out of the box
• Compact, low-profile body designed for use in restricted overhead spaces
• Lightweight at 6.22 pounds for single-technician portability
• Lever-ratchet mechanism allows precise load positioning and holding

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose compact lever hoist suitable for light-duty lifting and tensioning applications across mechanical, HVAC, electrical, and general construction trades.

Installation Notes

A qualified rigger or licensed mechanic should inspect the anchor point, overhead structure, and load path before use. Verify that the support beam or anchor hardware is rated to exceed the total suspended load before attaching the hoist. Never exceed the stated working load limit, and never use a lever hoist to transport loads horizontally in a way that creates side-loading on the hook. Follow applicable ASME B30.21 standards for lever hoist inspection, operation, and out-of-service criteria.
