JLH-50-5 1/2 Ton Lever Hoist with 5 Ft Lift - JET

Part #: 181505

The JET JLH-50-5 1/2 Ton Lever Hoist (Model 181505) is a professional-grade tool engineered for precise lifting, pulling, and positioning tasks in demanding automotive and industrial settings. Designed for controlled handling and reliable performance, this hoist is an essential asset for mechanics and technicians requiring portability and lasting durability in challenging shop, field, and maintenance applications.

Key Features

  • Compact and Lightweight Design: Weighing just 6.35 lbs and featuring a durable aluminum alloy housing, this hoist offers easy transport and maneuverability, making it suitable for overhead work or confined engine bays.
  • 1/2 Ton (1,000 lb) Rated Capacity: Capable of handling substantial loads, this hoist is ideal for precise positioning of engines, transmissions, transfer cases, and various industrial components.
  • Professional-Grade Load System: Equipped with a corrosion-resistant Grade 100 load chain, which offers superior strength compared to Grade 80, ensuring consistent performance and an extended service life. Heat-treated load plates and corrosive-resistant internal parts further enhance durability in harsh environments.
  • Enhanced Safety and Efficiency: A dual pawl Weston-style brake system provides superior load security by splitting the load across the ratchet gear. Industrial-rated hooks rotate 360° for easy rigging and are designed to slowly stretch, indicating an overload situation for enhanced job site safety. JET's exclusive five-gear drive train requires less force to lift or secure loads, and a freewheeling mechanism allows for rapid slack chain take-up for efficient setup.
  • Robust Design & Portability: Built with heavy-duty cast steel safety latch hooks and an ergonomic textured handle for improved grip. An included nylon carrying case facilitates convenient transportation and protection. The hoist complies with OSHA regulations, ANSI/ASME B30.21, and HST-3 standards.

Applications

This lever hoist is an ideal tool for automotive repair bays, fleet maintenance, and industrial MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Operations) work. Common uses include precise engine and drivetrain positioning, setting subframes and axles, tensioning exhaust and suspension components, aligning fixtures and weldments, and servicing pumps, motors, and smaller equipment on-site or in the shop. Its versatility also extends to tasks like pulling pipes, straightening poles, and stretching wires.
