Kito LX Ratchet Hoist Features

The nickel plated load chain has a fine tolerance which enables very precise lifting or pulling movements. Each click of the lever will move the chain and therefore load by just 2mm at a time. Another bonus is the length of the operating lever. At just 150mm it needs little effort to use and is ideal for use in tight spaces. There is also a chain over-run mechanism with added load drop protection.

There is a free wheel mode to enable the chain to be pulled through unhindered. Allowing easier attachment of the load. If a load is attached when in this mode the brake will automatically be applied.

The Kito LX has an aluminium housing and is corrosion resistant and maintenance friendly making it really durable. The top and bottom hooks incorporate a safety latch and there is small headroom between the hooks at 205mm.

Both the 250kg and the 500kg models are available with either 1.5 metres or 3 metres height of lift. Although other lengths may be available to suit your needs on request.
