VITAL Lever Hoist – 1.6 Ton, 1.5m Lift, Japan - VR2-15

High-Capacity 1.6 Ton Lever Hoist

When industrial rigging, heavy equipment positioning, and extreme tensioning demand robust mechanical power, the VITAL Manual Lever Block delivers uncompromised performance. As a high-capacity model within the renowned Lever Block VR2 Series, this 1.6-ton (1600 kg) Japanese-engineered hoist is built to thrive in the harshest construction, mining, and shipyard environments. It utilizes a highly durable 1.5-meter Grade 80 alloy steel load chain (7.1 mm thickness), safely enclosed by hydraulic-drawn steel casing that protects the internal gears from severe external shocks. To guarantee supreme operator safety, every unit is subjected to a rigorous 2.25-ton test load at the factory. Furthermore, the hoist features an incredibly efficient free-wheeling system, allowing technicians to disengage the gears and adjust the chain length rapidly with a single hand, dramatically accelerating workflow before the fail-safe dual-pawl brake securely locks the massive load in place.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Lever Block VR2 Series Power: Upgraded 1.6-ton (1600 kg) capacity engineered specifically for severe industrial environments and heavy-duty daily operations.
• Effortless Operation: Highly polished, surface-hardened bushings increase mechanical efficiency, reducing the required manual pulling force to just 18 kgf (177 N).
• High-Grade Load Chain: Features a 7.1 mm Grade 80 alloy chain, specially calibrated for manual hoists and fully conforming to international ISO and DIN standards.
• Free-Wheeling System: Switching the direction lever to the "Free" position permits rapid, one-handed adjustment of the chain length to quickly secure the load.
• Dual Ratchet Pawls: Integrated for redundant safety; if one ratchet pawl fails under extreme stress, the secondary pawl immediately maintains the mechanical brake function.
• Instant Brake Mechanism: The non-asbestos brake lining engages instantly the moment operation stops, ensuring heavy loads are locked securely at any height.
• Steel Formed Cases: Both the internal gear and hand chain wheel are shielded by rugged, hydraulic-drawn steel cases designed to withstand harsh external impacts.
• 360° Swivel Hooks: Hot-forged and heat-treated upper and lower hooks feature safety latches and rotate a full 360° to prevent chain twisting during lifts.
• Over-Travel Protection: A built-in chain stopper acts as a definitive lower limit, preventing the chain from over-traveling while lowering the load.
