Dayton Lever Chain Hoist 3/4T
This Dayton lever chain hoist provides a maximum lifting capacity of 1,500 lb with a 20 ft lift height. The unit features a Grade 100 alloy steel chain and a double disc Weston-style brake for controlled load handling. A hook mount with safety latch secures the load during operation. The steel body measures 4 3/4 in wide by 5 13/16 in deep.
Upgrade from rope or lower-rated hoists
Replacing fibre rope or light-duty hoists with this model adds a 1,500 lb rated capacity and 20 ft of alloy chain reach. The jump is worth it when loads exceed the safe working limit of manual pullers or when a positive brake is required for holding position. The 68 lb rated weight reflects the hoist's own mass for transport planning.
Manual lever operation limits
The lever mechanism requires physical effort proportional to the load, making sustained or frequent lifts tiring for the operator. Lift speed is governed by hand stroke rate, so it suits occasional maintenance rather than production cycles. The fixed 20 ft chain length cannot be extended without replacing the chain assembly. Headroom of 11 13/16 in restricts use in low-clearance installations.

Questions about this item
What is the headroom and body width needed to mount the 3/4 ton lever chain hoist?
The hoist requires 11 13/16 inches of headroom and has a body width of 4 3/4 inches for hook-mounted installation.
How is the double disc brake engaged during operation, and what step ensures it holds the load?
The Weston-style double disc brake engages automatically when the lever handle is released; the operator must fully return the handle to neutral to lock the 1,500 lb capacity.
When should the Grade 100 alloy steel chain be inspected or replaced after heavy use?
Inspect the 20 5/8 ft Grade 100 alloy steel chain for stretch, wear, or damage before each lift; replace it if any link shows deformation or exceeds wear limits.
