Yale LH2 Hand Hoists
The Yale LH2 Hand Hoist is a highly versatile
tool that can be used to lift loads. The hoist has
aluminum frame, handwheel, handwheel cover
and gear cover to provide dependable strength
at minimum weight. The internal gears are made
of high grade, heat treated steel. Shielded ball
bearings are used at each rotating point in the
mechanism. Latch type, heat treated, forged steel
upper and lower hooks are standard. The load chain
is strong and durable Hoistaloy
®
. A pawl and ratchet,
dry-operating, Weston-type friction brake supplies
very positive load control and will suspend the load
at any point. A Load Limiter is provided on every unit.
As a result, the application of an excessive overload
disengages the driving handwheel and prevents
hoisting. Note that the Load Limiter is not intended
for use as a scaling device. Removal of the excess
load automatically restores normal hoisting action
(see Figure 1 for specifications of available models).
Yale Low Headroom Trolley Hoists
The Yale Low Headroom Trolley Hoists (Figure 2, page 2)
are a combination of the Yale Hand Hoist built
integral with a rugged trolley to provide better head-
room than that obtained with the standard hoist and
trolley. The basic hoist is similar to the Yale LH2 Hand
Hoist except the frame, aluminum on the 1/2 through
3 ton units and cast iron on the 4 through 6 ton units,
which is designed to provide low headroom and
attachment to the trolley. The trolley has a rugged
frame, cast iron on the 1/2 through 1 ton units, and
steel plates on the 1-1/2 through 6 ton units. Crowned
tread, flanged trackwheels are provided to minimize
rolling friction. Hardened, pressed steel ball bearing
wheels are used on the 1/2 and 1 ton units. Hardened,
cast iron wheels with Timken bearings are used on the
1-1/2 through 6 ton units. Trolleys are adjustable for
operation on various American standard beams and
the 1-1/2 through 6 ton units are available in a geared
type trolley.
