MAGNA Lifting Products 1/4 Ton Lever Hoist, 5 ft. Lift LH02505

The MAGNA LH02505 1/4 Ton Lever Hoist represents the pinnacle of compact lifting technology, designed specifically for applications where portability and space constraints are the primary concerns. Often colloquially referred to as a "toolbox hoist," this unit packs 550 lbs of industrial lifting capacity into a frame that fits in the palm of a hand. Unlike generic mini-hoists that often rely on aluminum or plastic housings to save weight, the LH02505 is constructed with a rugged, all-steel gear case and side plates. This South Korean-manufactured design ensures that the hoist can withstand the impacts, drops, and rough handling typical of industrial jobsites without cracking or deformation.

Despite its diminutive size, the LH02505 does not compromise on safety or precision. It features a fully functional Weston-style load brake that provides positive load holding at any position, allowing for the precise tensioning of cables, fencing, or conveyor belts. The unit requires only 55 lbs of handle force to lift the full rated load, and its short 5.9-inch handle allows for 360-degree rotation in extremely confined spaces, such as inside electrical cabinets or engine bays. The hoist is rigorously proof-tested to 150% of its rated capacity (825 lbs), surpassing the standard 125% requirement, and is factory-lubricated with extreme-pressure grease rated for operation down to -45°C (-49°F).

Features & Benefits

• Ultra-Compact Form Factor: With a net weight of just 6 lbs and headroom of 9.7 inches, this unit is easily transported and installed in restricted areas.
• 150% Proof Load Tested: Individually tested to 825 lbs to ensure structural integrity and safety margins that exceed ASME B30.21 standards.
• Cold Weather Reliability: Specialized lubrication allows for consistent operation in arctic temperatures as low as -45°C (-49°F).
• Rugged Steel Construction: All-steel body and gear cover provide superior durability compared to die-cast aluminum alternatives.
• Corrosion Resistant Chain: Equipped with Grade 80 alloy load chain featuring a zinc or black oxide finish for weather resistance.
• Free-Chain Mechanism: Simple single-hand release allows for rapid adjustment of the chain length prior to placing the load.
