HOIST SPECIFICATIONS
Little Mule Lever Hoists are made of the best selected materials to provide long dependable
service for users. Little Mule Lever Hoists are manufactured and processed through up to
date streamlined production facilities by skilled engineers under strict quality control. All
lever hoists are tested per ASME B30.21 before leaving our factory. Refer to the back cover
for Certification Statement.
APPLICATION INFORMATION
1. Inspect carefully for any damage that may occur during shipping. Check for loose,
missing, or damaged parts.
2. Lubricate the load chain along the whole length with machine oil (See Figure 2).
3. Examine the load chain to ensure that there is no twist. When your lever hoist is a 6 ton
that lifts on 2 falls of load chains, twists can arise from the bottom hook being accidentally
turned over through the load chains (See Figure 3).
4. Confirm that the supporting structure is strong enough to support the full rated capacity
of the lever hoist with a generous factor of safety.
