The central bushing stabilizes the pinion shaft, resulting in a smoother and stronger operation. The steel grip ring and machined, case hardened ratchet gear with deep-cut teeth increase durability and strength. The single-hand control of the free-chain function makes operation quick and easy. For increased safety and power, the hoist features two pawl gear engagement. The long length rubber grip with stamped ribs accommodates a variety of hand sizes and application environments. With robust, drop forged alloy steel hooks and wide throat openings, this hoist is built for durability and versatility.
