Compatible Load Capacity 500 lb
This Dayton safety latch kit is designed for lever chain hoists rated up to 500 lb. It provides a replacement latch assembly that secures the load hook during lifting and pulling operations. Maintenance teams and rigging professionals use it to restore proper hook engagement on compatible Dayton series hoists. The kit suits workshops and job sites where existing hoists require latch renewal.
Steel Construction Dimensions .9 in by 1.6 in
The latch assembly is manufactured from steel with an overall width of .9 in and an overall height of 1.6 in. Its compact profile fits within the hook throat without adding bulk that could interfere with rigging. Steel construction resists deformation under repeated loading cycles. Normal use does not generate heat, noise or measurable power draw.
Direct Fit for Dayton Series Hoists
The kit matches the original latch geometry for Dayton series lever chain hoists, so installation requires no modification of the hook or frame. Replacing a worn or missing latch restores the positive locking action that prevents accidental load release. No additional hardware, lubricants or software are included or required for the repair.

Questions about this item
How do I install the Dayton safety latch kit on my lever chain hoist and what step is often missed?
Attach the steel latch assembly to the hook opening of your compatible Dayton lever chain hoist rated for 500 lb; the step often missed is verifying the latch snaps fully closed before applying any load.
What maintenance or replacement will this latch kit need over time?
Inspect the steel latch for wear, deformation or spring fatigue before each use; replace the entire kit if the latch no longer engages securely or shows visible damage.
What is the first limit I will hit when using this latch kit continuously under load?
The 500 lb compatible load capacity is the primary limit; exceeding it risks latch failure even if the hoist itself is rated higher.
