Yale ERGO 360 Ratchet Lever Hoist ? Ergonomic Lever Hoist with Crank Handle for Fast, Low-Effort Lifting – 750kg?9t WLL

Description

The Yale ERGO 360? Ratchet Lever Hoist redefines what a lever-operated hoist can achieve. Developed for professional lifting applications where productivity, ergonomics and safety are critical, the ERGO 360 introduces an innovative patented crank handle system that enables up to 12 times faster operation and requires up to 30% less pull force than conventional ratchet lever hoists.

Designed for use in maintenance, construction, steel fabrication, shipbuilding, utilities and industrial environments, the ERGO 360 delivers exceptional performance when lifting, pulling, positioning or securing heavy loads. Its wide capacity range from 750kg to 9,000kg ensures suitability for both light-duty tasks and demanding heavy industrial applications.

At the heart of the ERGO 360 is its hand lever with integrated retractable crank, which provides a full 360ø working range. This allows the operator to work efficiently from virtually any position, even in confined or awkward spaces. Unlike traditional lever hoists, the ERGO 360 keeps the operator?s body aligned with the load chain, reducing the risk of the hoist twisting around the chain and minimising operator fatigue and injury risk.

The hoist features a lightweight, high-strength aluminium housing with a durable powder-coated finish. Combined with high-quality internal bearings, this construction ensures a long service life even under intensive use and harsh site conditions. A covered load pressure brake protects critical components from dirt and moisture, allowing precise and controlled load positioning.

A clearly visible directional indicator window in the hand lever displays lifting (?), lowering (?) or neutral (N) mode at a glance, enhancing operational safety. The free chaining device, fitted as standard, allows the unloaded chain to be pulled through the hoist quickly in either direction, enabling rapid attachment of loads?even with one-handed operation.

The alloy steel link chain, zinc-plated or yellow chromated depending on size, meets national and international standards and delivers excellent wear resistance. Rotatable forged top and bottom hooks, complete with cast safety latches, ensure secure load suspension, while the screw-mounted hook crossbars and bottom blocks allow easy inspection and maintenance.
For enhanced safety, an optional overload protection slip clutch can be factory-fitted, preset to activate at approximately 25% ñ15% overload, preventing lifting beyond safe limits. Shipyard hooks are also available for selected capacities.

The Yale ERGO 360 is the ideal solution for professionals seeking faster operation, reduced physical strain and uncompromising safety in a modern ratchet lever hoist.
