Yale C85 Ratchet Lever Hoist with Roller Chain ? Heavy-Duty Manual Hoist for Lifting, Pulling and Load Positioning – 750kg?3000kg WLL

Description

The Yale C85 Ratchet Lever Hoist is engineered for almost unlimited applications where precise control, durability and operator safety are essential. Designed and manufactured to Yale?s exacting standards, the C85 is ideal for lifting, pulling, tensioning and positioning heavy loads in confined or challenging environments such as trenches, manholes, workshops and construction sites.

Available in three capacity ratings ? 750kg, 1500kg and 3000kg, the C85 provides a compact yet powerful solution for moving and securing heavy machinery, aligning steel components, setting pipes and stabilising loads during installation or maintenance work. Its smooth ratchet mechanism ensures accurate load control, even when operating at full Working Load Limit (WLL).

The hoist features an enclosed housing, handle lever and bottom block manufactured from high-tensile white malleable cast iron, delivering outstanding resistance to impact, wear and harsh site conditions. The durable construction is complemented by a wet-painted RAL 1023 finish, offering excellent corrosion protection and high visibility on site.

At the heart of the Yale C85 is a graphite cast iron load sheave with precision-machined chain pockets, ensuring accurate chain guidance and extended service life. The roller chain sprocket, manufactured from heat-treated chromium-molybdenum steel, provides exceptionally smooth chain movement while reducing wear under repeated load cycles.

The alloy steel link chain, zinc-plated for corrosion resistance, complies with national and international standards, ensuring consistent performance and safety across a wide range of applications. The ergonomic handle design keeps operating effort low, with manageable handle pull forces even at maximum rated capacity.

For added safety, most models can be equipped with an optional overload protection slip clutch, which activates at approximately 25% ñ15% overload, preventing further lifting and protecting both the operator and the equipment from excessive load forces.

Compact dimensions, straightforward operation and proven Yale quality make the C85 Ratchet Lever Hoist a trusted solution for professionals who demand reliability, precision and long-term durability.
