Industrial-Grade Manual Hoists
When power isn’t available—or when simplicity and control are top priorities—manual hoists are the solution professionals reach for. At Fulcrum Lifting, we proudly supply hand-operated hoists capable of keeping up with real-world demands: job sites without grid access, facilities where safety is critical, and shop floors that run nonstop.
We stock high-performance hoists from trusted manufacturers such as Harrington Hoists, Columbus McKinnon, Magna Lifting Products, and Elephant Lifting Products, backed by over four decades of rigging expertise. Every unit we supply is selected for its strength, control, and field-proven reliability.
Precision Lifting in the Field, Shop, or Plant
Manual hoists aren’t a backup plan—they’re the first choice when the environment is unpredictable or power isn’t an option. From steel erection to equipment repair, they give crews total control without the hassle of compressors, cords, or electrical hookups.
We supply hoists that perform in:
- Confined or low-clearance spaces where lever hoists shine
- Wet, dirty, or marine environments where power tools struggle
- Tight beam work and suspended structures that require reliable vertical lift without overrun
- Production floors where you need consistent handling without adding complexity
We match you with equipment that works exactly the way you need it to, every time.
What Manual Hoist System Do You Need?
Fulcrum Lifting carries a curated selection of manual hoists to meet the toughest lifting demands. Our inventory includes:
- Lever Hoists: A compact, all-purpose solution for lifting, pulling, or positioning heavy loads. Manual lever hoists are ideal when space is limited or when diagonal pulls are required. Built with hardened hooks, durable gear systems, and reliable clutches for steady lifting under tension.
- Hand Chain Hoists: The standard for vertical lifting in industrial, marine, and construction environments. Available in a variety of capacities—from a half-ton to several tons—manual hand chain hoists feature precision-machined gears, dual-pawl braking systems, and corrosion-resistant finishes to handle indoor and outdoor use.
- Manual Trolleys: A vital add-on for hoist mobility, manual trolleys let you move your load along a beam with ease. Choose from push trolleys for fast repositioning or geared trolleys when load control is critical. Compatible with most I-beam widths and hoist types.
Each product we supply is factory inspected and sourced to meet current safety standards. We also offer load testing, repairs, and scheduled maintenance to extend the life and performance of your equipment.
