Yale AL Ratchet Lever Hoist ? Lightweight Aluminium Manual Hoist – 750kg?3t WLL

Description

The Yale AL Ratchet Lever Hoist has been engineered with portability and ease of use at its core, making it an ideal solution for professionals who need a reliable hoist that can be carried between multiple job sites. Thanks to its exceptionally low self-weight, the AL series is particularly suited to service engineers, installers, utilities, maintenance crews and construction teams who frequently move equipment over longer distances.

The hoist features an enclosed housing, hand lever and hand wheel manufactured from high-quality aluminium, delivering an excellent balance between strength, durability and reduced weight. This aluminium design significantly lowers operator fatigue during transport and operation, without compromising the robustness expected from a Yale lifting product.

Precision-engineered needle bearings ensure smooth internal operation, allowing loads to be lifted or pulled with minimal effort on the hand lever. This low operating force improves control and safety while increasing productivity, particularly during repetitive tasks or extended use.

A standard free chaining device allows the load chain to be pulled freely through the hoist in both directions, enabling fast and efficient attachment to the load. This feature reduces setup time and simplifies positioning, especially in confined or awkward working environments. The chain guide is cast directly into the hoist body, ensuring faultless chain movement and preventing twisting, fouling or jamming during operation.

The Yale AL Ratchet Lever Hoist is fitted with an alloyed steel link load chain, finished with zinc plating or yellow chromation to provide corrosion resistance and long service life. The chain complies with relevant national and international standards and regulations, ensuring consistent performance in demanding industrial environments.

Designed for versatility, the AL series covers a capacity range from 750kg to 3,000kg, making it suitable for a wide variety of lifting, pulling, tensioning and securing applications. Typical uses include machinery positioning, equipment installation, structural alignment, maintenance operations and load restraint during transport.

As with all Yale ratchet lever hoists, models with a capacity exceeding 750kg are suitable for load attachment in accordance with EN 12195, offering additional flexibility for securing loads during transport. However, Yale hoists are not designed for passenger elevation and must never be used for lifting people.

Compact dimensions, smooth operation and reduced weight make the Yale AL Ratchet Lever Hoist a dependable, professional-grade solution for users who value mobility, reliability and performance. Whether kept permanently in a service truck or deployed across multiple sites, it is a versatile manual hoist built to meet the demands of daily industrial use.

Safety / User Instructions
Always operate within the stated Working Load Limit (WLL).
Inspect the hoist, load chain and lever mechanism before each use.
Ensure the free chaining device is correctly engaged or disengaged before lifting.
Confirm the load is securely attached and balanced prior to operation.
Do not use the hoist for passenger lifting.
Follow EN 12195 and applicable UK lifting and safety regulations.
