Lever Hoists - General Stores, Hardware and Tools
Manual lever hoists are portable chain-operated lifting devices used aboard ships, in engine rooms, workshops, cargo areas, and shipyards. They provide controlled lifting, pulling, positioning, and tensioning where electric or pneumatic power is unavailable.
ProShipWorks provides end-to-end support to source and supply Lever Hoists for marine vessels, ship operators, industrial facilities, maintenance teams and procurement departments.

Standards, Certifications & Class Approval
Review the available standards and approval information relevant to the product. Actual certification, material traceability, inspection and classification requirements depend on the product type, intended application and purchasing specification.
| Applicable Standards & Certification | Commonly manufactured and tested to EN 13157 and ASME B30.21 requirements, with applicable CE/UKCA marking depending on market. Actual compliance depends on the specific manufacturer and model. |

| Class Approval | Lever hoists are not automatically class-approved as standard ship equipment. DNV, ABS, Lloyd's Register, BV, and ClassNK may accept manufacturer certificates or witness testing when required by the vessel, flag, or project specification. |
Installation, Maintenance & Safety Information
| Installation Notes | Inspect the supporting structure, lifting point, hooks, chain, and brake before use. Ensure the hoist is correctly aligned with the load, attach only to rated lifting points, and keep the load chain free from twists. Do not exceed the marked safe working load. |
|---|---|
| Maintenance Tips | Clean and lubricate the load chain according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Inspect hooks, latches, chain links, gears, brake components, and body for wear, corrosion, deformation, or damage. Remove defective hoists from service and maintain inspection records. |
| Safety Notes | Only trained personnel should operate the hoist. Never lift people, shock-load the device, side-load hooks, stand beneath suspended loads, or use damaged equipment. Confirm the load weight, lifting-point capacity, and required inspection status before operation. |
