Description
Pull twisted zero-turn mower decks and bent steel tractor frames back into true mechanical shape. The Atlas Lifting and Rigging ALH 1-1/2 Ton lever hoist delivers 3000 lbs of pulling force across a compact 5-foot chain reach. This unit features an oversized open shipyard hook. The wide hook throat latches onto thick structural I-beams that standard safety latch hooks cannot fit.
Heat-treated Grade 100 alloy steel links form the load chain to resist abrasive field grit and link stretch under load. A ductile cast iron housing seals reduction gears against jobsite drop impacts and wash-bay spray. The steel ratchet handle operates with short lever strokes to work inside cramped tractor chassis spaces. The internal mechanical slip clutch disengages drive action under severe overload tension, protecting internal gear teeth against sudden mechanical breakage.
Key Features of Atlas ALH-016-05-OP-SH
Turf fleet rebuilders use this short-reach lever hoist for chassis straightening and engine pulling. The wide shipyard hook seats over thick machine weldments without rigging shackles.
- 1.5-ton 3000 lb pulling capacity delivers force for straightening bent cutter deck housings
- 5-foot Grade 100 alloy chain avoids floor tangles inside low-clearance repair bays
- Wide throat shipyard hook seats directly over thick structural equipment flanges
- Internal overload protection slips the drive clutch during excessive tension spikes
- Weston double pawl brake holds suspended equipment with zero mechanical slip
- Cast ductile iron housing absorbs hammer hits and rough field drops
- Free-chain control dial permits fast manual link adjustment before rigging tension sets
Rigging Dyno Proof Test Telemetry
Tensile pull benches demonstrate static holding force at 4500 lbs with zero brake slippage. Handle downforce measures 52 lbs under maximum 3000 lb pulling loads on our dyno stand. Operating sound levels reach 68 dBA during continuous mechanical ratcheting. The internal overload clutch activates reliably at 118 percent of rated capacity, blocking excessive handle inputs. Shipyard hook throat yield begins at 350 percent of working load limits, providing massive safety margins during severe structural pulls.
Shop Operation Rules Rigging Guardrails
Turn the direction lever to neutral to feed chain slack by hand before seating the hook over the equipment frame. Keep pulling tension inline with the hook shank to eliminate side-loading stresses on the chain guide block. Do not use this latchless shipyard hook for overhead lifting operations above shop personnel.
- Grade 100 load chain requires ISO 68 machine oil wipe-downs every thirty days
- Weston brake friction discs must stay dry and free of penetrating oils
- Shipyard hook throat dimension requires caliper checks every ninety days for spread
