JET JLH-150-5PSH Lever Hoist with Ship Yard Hooks

Description

Position ship hull plates without hook throat damage using the JET Shipyard Lever Hoist JLHSHIPYARDCHAINJ050, built with specialized point-loading shipyard hooks. The 1.5-Ton capacity pulls structural bulkheads into tight weld alignment, though ratcheting this steel lever under maximum shipyard load demands strong two-handed pulling leverage from the boilermaker.

JET encases the mechanical gear brake in a high-impact stamped steel housing, finished with corrosion-resistant chrome plating. The hoist utilizes Grade 100 heat-treated alloy steel chain measuring 8mm diameter, fitted with point-loading drop-forged alloy hooks. The bare tool weighs 28.5 lbs, demanding headroom clearance measuring 14.5in hook to hook.

Key Features of JET JLHSHIPYARDCHAINJ050

Shipbuilders buy JET JLHSHIPYARDCHAINJ050 hoists to align heavy steel deck plates and pull structural frame ribs together before welding. Check commercial fleet pricing to equip your marine construction crews with certified shipyard rigging hoists.

• A 3,300 lbs working load limit pulls steel hull sections and heavy marine machinery into place.
• Drop-forged shipyard hooks permit tip-loading without spreading the hook throat under high stress.
• Five feet of Grade 100 alloy steel chain provides maximum tensile strength with reduced link mass.
• A slip clutch overload mechanism prevents structural tool damage if pulling forces exceed rated capacity.
• Dual-pawl Weston mechanical load brake locks position instantly when handle pumping ceases.
• The freewheel control knob permits fast manual positioning of the load chain with no load applied.
• A short steel handle allows complete 360-degree lever rotation inside cramped ship double bottoms.

Shipyard Hook Tip Load Benchmarks

Tensile proof benches subject the specialized shipyard hooks to 4,950 lbs tip proof load with zero throat spread. Handle ratcheting effort measures 62 lbs under full 1.5-Ton capacity. Slip clutch engages at 120 percent rated load to stop overload damage. The mechanical load brake holds 100 percent load with zero slippage under greasy test conditions.

Hook Tip Usability Handling Rules

The hook tips seat into torch-cut plate holes without bending, while the lever ratchet clicks with solid mechanical feedback. Do not buy this hoist for vertical overhead passenger lifting or standard latch-hook lifting jobs. Lubricate Grade 100 chain links with ISO 68 machine oil every 40 operating hours. Inspect hook tip geometry with calipers every 30 days. Check brake pawl ratchets every 6 months.
