Ratchet Chain Hoist: Safe, Compact, and Powerful Lifting for Industrial and Construction Use By Kunda June 29, 2025 When it comes to heavy lifting in tight spaces and rugged conditions, few tools match the versatility and safety of a ratchet chain hoist. At Toyo Heavy Industries, we offer a robust line of manual chain hoists designed to deliver reliable lifting performance in warehouses, factories, shipyards, and construction sites around the world. Engineered for maximum control and ease of use, our ratchet hoists provide the lifting strength professionals rely on—without the need for power supply or complex setup. What Makes Toyo’s Ratchet Chain Hoist Stand Out? A ratchet chain hoist—also known as a lever hoist—is a compact, manually operated lifting device that uses a ratcheting mechanism to lift, lower, or pull loads in horizontal or vertical orientations. Whether you’re aligning heavy pipes or hoisting steel plates into place, Toyo’s ratchet hoists provide precise control and superior load holding. Key features of our ratchet chain hoists include: Heavy-duty alloy steel construction for extended service life Precision gearing for smooth operation with minimal effort Reliable braking mechanism for load-holding safety 360-degree rotating handle for confined or overhead applications Corrosion-resistant finish for indoor and outdoor use Available in lifting capacities from 0.75 tons to 6 tons, these hoists are ideal for general-purpose lifting, tensioning, rigging, and material positioning across industrial sectors. Integrated Lifting Solutions: DHQ HORIZONTAL LIFTING CLAMP To complement our ratchet hoist line, Toyo Heavy Industries also offers the DHQ HORIZONTAL LIFTING CLAMP, a reliable solution for transporting steel plates and structural components. Designed for horizontal lifting operations, the clamp features: High-strength forged jaws with serrated grip for secure hold Spring-loaded safety mechanism to prevent accidental release Lightweight and easy to attach to beams, frames, and plates Tested to meet international lifting safety standards Used alongside a ratchet chain hoist, the DHQ clamp provides a complete, manual lifting setup perfect for steel fabrication yards, welding shops, and construction support crews. The pairing of hoist and clamp ensures greater stability, safety, and precision during complex lifts—especially where overhead cranes or forklifts are unavailable or impractical. From Floor to Truck: Add Electric Pallet Truck AD206-D210 For end-to-end material handling solutions, Toyo Heavy Industries also manufactures the Electric Pallet Truck AD206-D210, ideal for transporting lifted goods quickly across warehouses or job sites. Features of the Electric Pallet Truck AD206-D210 include: Compact body with high maneuverability in narrow aisles Durable lithium battery system for extended use High-load capacity with reinforced forks for industrial pallets Smart handle control with safety sensors and reverse mode Low noise and low maintenance for clean indoor operations Used together with our ratchet chain hoist and DHQ HORIZONTAL LIFTING CLAMP, this pallet truck completes an efficient lifting and transport ecosystem—moving heavy materials from lift point to delivery zone with safety and speed.
