The OZ Mechanical Lever Hoist is designed for commercial building sites, as well as various construction workplaces, such as warehousing, buildings, storage areas, and factories in general. The OZ Mechanical Lever Hoist is made from lightweight yet robust materials that allow the hoist to be easily mounted. With a net weight of five pounds, and a weight load limit of five hundred pounds, the ratio of power is staggering. The lever hoist features a selector switch to raise a load, lower a load, or put the hoist lever in neutral for quick rigging jobs. Some other additional features and benefits of the OZ Mechanical Lever Hoist include the alloy hook made of forge steel, a stainless steel ID tag with load rating information, a shroud that acts as a chain guide, and a tag that keeps the chain clean. The chain is zinc-plated so there is no oil on the chain, which will help to keep the mechanism clean and clear of debris. An end-stop acts as a means to pull the chain and as a lock to prevent unchaining the hoist.
