KITO lever hoists description

The KITO lever hoists are particularly compact designed. Featuring stepless click mechanism and a unique freewheel function with overload protection for a safe lifting. Lifting is done by operating a short, sturdy, ergonomic lever that makes it easy to use in narrow areas.

Ultralight KITO LX levers

Palan à levier ultraléger KITO LXThe KITO LX series are ultra-light lever hoists with an aluminium housing. The lightweight of the LX model allows the user to keep it within reach with the help of a carrying case attached to the belt. Furthermore, the lifting chain of this hoist is remarkably strong with a diameter of only 3,2 mm.

The hand lever has a length of only 150 mm, so that the LX hoist can be used in situations where there is no more avaible space.

For safety operating, a freewheel mechanism with fall protection engages the brake instantly as soon as the load is freewheeling.

Examples of use:

  • assembly of fragile parts
  • installation of specific devices
  • connection of control cabinets
  • handling of engines and gearboxes in car garages

These high capacity hoists have a steel housing which bears a double-reduction gearbox. They are supplied as standard with forged carbon steel hooks and a nickel-plated, corrosion-resistant lifting chain.

Safety is ensured by a unique freewheel mechanism with overload protection that makes it impossible an accidental fall of the load.

The short lever operates a stepless lift and thus allows for effortless handling.
