Key specifications

Choosing the right option

Choose the capacity on your heaviest lift and keep the load inside the rated capacity on the specifications. The lift is 1.5m on all models except the 0.25 tonne, which is 1m, so check that is enough for the job: for a longer lift, use a chain block. If you want an overload protection version, see the lever block with overload protection. Lifting equipment must be used within its rated capacity, inspected before each use, and selected and used in line with your site lifting procedure and the applicable standards and regulations. Do not use it to lift or lower people. If you are unsure what suits your lift, speak to a qualified rigger before ordering.
