Kito LX Series Lever Hoist with Slip Clutch - Slip Clutch

Product Description

The Kito LX Series Lever Hoist with Slip Clutch is a professional-grade manual lifting tool built for demanding industrial applications where overload protection and precise load control are required over a short vertical range. With a 1-1/2 Ton rated capacity and 5 ft of lift, this hoist is well suited for construction, steel fabrication, maintenance, and general rigging operations where load travel distance is limited but reliable manual force control and overload protection are both essential. The short 5 ft lift configuration makes this hoist particularly practical for load positioning, tensioning, and securing tasks where minimal chain travel is required.

The slip clutch overload protection mechanism automatically disengages the drive when the applied load exceeds the hoist's rated capacity, preventing equipment damage and reducing the risk of operator injury. Unlike a fixed load limiter, the slip clutch provides tactile resistance feedback as the load approaches the rated limit, giving the operator an early indication of an approaching overload condition before disengagement occurs. This makes the slip clutch configuration especially effective in controlled tensioning, load securing, and precision rigging applications where managing applied force is as important as the lift itself.

Built with an alloy steel load chain and a robust steel housing, the Kito LX Lever Hoist is engineered for repeated use in tough industrial environments. The ergonomic lever handle provides smooth forward and reverse load control throughout the full 5 ft lift range, and the free-chaining function allows rapid hook positioning without engaging the load brake. The short lift and compact form factor make this configuration easy to transport and deploy across multiple work locations where a full-length lever hoist would be unnecessarily cumbersome.
