Ratchet Lever Hoists & Lever Blocks

This collection covers our full range of ratchet lever hoists from GT Viper and Tiger, offering a practical and portable manual lifting and pulling solution for workshops, construction sites and industrial environments.

A ratchet lever hoist, also known as a lever block or lever hoist, works by pumping a short ratchet arm back and forth to advance the load chain, rather than pulling a hanging hand chain as with a standard chain block. This makes the lever hoist particularly well suited to confined spaces, awkward angles, and applications where you need to pull or tension loads horizontally as well as lift vertically. The short arm and favourable gear ratio mean that even heavy loads can be raised with relatively low operator effort.

The GT Viper ratchet lever hoist range covers nine capacities from 250kg up to 9,000kg, making it one of the broadest lever block ranges in the collection. All models feature a high grade steel body that protects the internal gears and brake mechanism, Grade 80 load chain, a free wheel mechanism for quickly repositioning the chain when not under load, and compliance with BS EN 13157. Each unit is supplied with a Declaration of Conformity. 

For very compact and lightweight requirements, the Tiger Mini Industrial Lever Hoist is available in 0.25t and 0.5t versions, offering a rugged all-in-one construction where the handle, gear case and brake cover form a single integrated unit.

If you need a chain block for straight vertical lifting rather than a lever hoist, our GT Viper Chain Blocks covers capacities from 500kg up to 10,000kg. For manual winches suited to fixed installation lifting and pulling, our Manual Hand Winches collection is worth browsing.

FAQs

What is a ratchet lever hoist and how does it differ from a chain block?

A ratchet lever hoist uses a short pump-action lever to advance the load chain, while a chain block uses a longer hanging hand chain that you pull continuously. The lever hoist gives you more control in confined spaces and is better suited to horizontal pulling and tensioning as well as vertical lifting. A chain block is generally more efficient for long, continuous vertical lifts where a hand chain is easier to operate over a greater height of lift.

Can a lever hoist be used for horizontal pulling and tensioning?

Yes. One of the main advantages of a lever block over a chain block is its versatility across different working angles. A ratchet lever hoist can be used for vertical lifting, horizontal pulling, angled loads and tensioning applications, making it a useful all-round tool on site.

What is the heaviest load I can lift with the GT Viper lever hoist range?

The largest model in the GT Viper ratchet lever hoist range has a 9,000kg capacity, making it suitable for heavy industrial lifting and tensioning applications. For anything below that, models are available at 250kg, 500kg, 750kg, 1,000kg, 1,500kg, 2,000kg, 3,000kg and 6,000kg, so there is a lever block sized for most requirements.
