OPTIONS
TheLoadLoadLimitLimitedr®is a friction device that is designed and factory calibrated to prevent lifting excessive overloads. An excessive overload is indicated by lever movement without corresponding movement of the lower hook or load when the hoist is operated in the up direction. Should this occur, operate the lever in the down direction to remove the overload. Reducing the load to rated capacity or less will automatically restore normal operation. The Load Limiter can be ordered as part of a new lever hoist or in kit form that can be added to units now in service.
Latchlok® Hooks
Latchlok hooks are available to replace the standard latch type hooks. The unique design of the Latchlok hook assures that it will stay locked until the operator releases it by depressing the release button. It will not open accidentally- even if the load chain goes slack. Once opened, it can be shut with one hand or by the weight of the load when it is lifted. Latchlok hooks can be supplied with the hoist or it can be provided in kit form for lever hoists already in service.

A swiveling hook block is securely anchored to the housing and the upper hook swivels through a full 360°. Anchor Sling may be ordered as a feature of your new hoist or in kit form for simple installation on units now in use.
