Kito LX Series Lever Hoist with Slip Clutch - 2.5 Ton - 10 ft Lift - Slip Clutch

Product Description

The Kito LX Series Lever Hoist with Slip Clutch is a heavy-duty manual lifting tool engineered for demanding industrial environments where higher capacity and reliable overload protection are required. With a 2-1/2 Ton rated capacity and 10 ft of lift, this hoist is well suited for construction, steel fabrication, shipbuilding, heavy rigging, and industrial maintenance applications where loads exceed the range of lighter-duty lever hoists.

The slip clutch overload protection mechanism automatically disengages the drive when the applied load exceeds the hoist's rated capacity, helping to prevent equipment damage and reduce the risk of operator injury. The slip clutch provides tactile resistance feedback during operation, allowing the operator to sense an approaching overload condition before disengagement occurs. This makes it particularly effective in controlled tensioning, load securing, and precision rigging tasks where force management is critical.

Constructed with an alloy steel load chain and a reinforced steel housing, the Kito LX Lever Hoist at the 2-1/2 Ton capacity class is built to handle sustained heavy loads in harsh operating conditions. The ergonomic lever handle delivers smooth forward and reverse load control, while the free-chaining function allows rapid hook positioning without engaging the load brake. Despite its higher capacity, the LX Series maintains a compact and portable form factor suitable for deployment across multiple work areas.
