10% of their rated WLL limit. William Hackett L5 QP lever hoists are assembled, chained and tested in the UK to the height of lift specified by the end user. Careful consideration should be given to the headroom required to lift the load and the position of the operator before specifying the length of load chain and the hoist model.
Pre-use checks Before the lever hoist is issued from the designated storage location a competent person must ensure that the appropriate certification is in place for the hoist. Safe use instructions should be made available. Possession of the relevant certification does not absolve the user from his responsibility to carry out pre-use inspections.
