The hand-operated cable hoist is suitable for pulling and tensioning loads. With a maximum pulling force of 2,000 kg and a maximum usable distance of 1.6 meters, it can also move heavy wood stoves, kitchen appliances, and machines. Included in the delivery is a 3.3-meter long, twist-free wire rope and a pulley with a load hook that features a safety latch. The safety latch prevents the load from unintentionally disengaging. An automatic brake secures the load in any position. To prevent the complete unwinding of the rope, a safety clamp is installed. The hoist includes a tension spring that allows for easy release of the locking pawl for unwinding the rope. The hand-operated cable hoist is not suitable for lifting and lowering loads.
