Jet 181515 Compact Lever Hoist 0.50 Ton 15 Ft Chain

Product Description

The JET 181515 is a compact lever hoist rated at 0.50 ton capacity, supplied with a 15-foot lift chain. Lever hoists in this class are mechanical load-control tools used to lift, pull, and tension loads in confined or overhead applications. The compact frame keeps overall footprint small, making it practical in tight spaces where a full-size chain hoist or come-along cannot be positioned easily. Licensed riggers, ironworkers, millwrights, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians are the primary users of this style of hoist. The unit ships as a single assembly at 8.9 pounds, keeping it portable and hand-carry ready for jobsite use.

This lever hoist is suited for light-duty rigging tasks in industrial, commercial, and field-service environments. Common applications include tensioning loads during equipment positioning, supporting pipe sections during alignment, securing loads to fixed anchor points, and lifting components in mechanical rooms or on maintenance catwalks where overhead clearance is limited. The 15-foot chain provides adequate drop for most single-story lift scenarios.

Key Features

• 0.50 ton rated load capacity for controlled light-duty lifting and pulling
• 15-foot load chain included, suitable for single-story overhead lifts
• Compact frame design allows use in confined or restricted-access spaces
• Mechanical lever-ratchet mechanism provides load holding without power source
• Portable at 8.9 pounds — hand-carry ready for field deployment

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style JET lever hoist assembly intended for use with standard-duty rigging hardware rated to the same or greater working load limit.

Installation Notes

Lever hoists must be anchored to a rated overhead structure, beam, or anchor point with a working load limit equal to or greater than the hoist capacity before use. Inspect the hook latch, load chain, and ratchet pawl before each lift. Only qualified riggers or personnel trained in rigging safety should operate or install overhead lifting equipment. Consult applicable ASME B30.21 standards for lever hoist inspection, operation, and maintenance requirements.
