How to choose a manual hoist? Manual hoists include hand-operated pulleys and lever hoists. Lever hoists are suitable for horizontal traction and lifting, while hand-operated pulleys are suitable for vertical lifting. If the need is to tighten the traction, then the lever hoist should be chosen. If it is necessary to fix at a certain point to lift heavy objects, then the hand-operated pulley should be selected. Hand-operated pulleys are suitable for short-distance lifting or installing mechanical equipment. Lever hoists are suitable for pulling and tightening cables. Manual hoists operate manually and are relatively simple to use and maintain. They are suitable for environments without power supply.
