Hoists / Lifting Systems
Hoists, Jacks, and Lifting Equipment
Hoists and lifting systems in this collection come almost entirely from Jet, with one cordless option from Milwaukee. Jet hand chain hoists range from 1-ton with 10-foot lift to 5-ton with 30-foot lift, including a model with overload protection. Jet also offers 3-phase electric chain hoists with control pendants, a lever hoist, a mini-puller, a cable puller, and a manual trolley. Floor equipment includes hydraulic bottle jacks from 2 to 22-1/2 tons, low-profile jacks, a toe jack, pallet trucks, and web slings. Milwaukee adds the M18 compact 1-ton chain hoist with ONE-KEY.
What to Look For
- Capacity and lift. Rate the hoist above your heaviest load and check the lift height in the title.
- Power. Hand chain and lever hoists need no power. Jet electric hoists listed are 3-phase.
- Movement. Add a trolley to move a load along a beam.
- Rigging. Web slings connect the load to the hook without damaging finished surfaces.

Hoists / Lifting Systems FAQ
Chain hoist or lever hoist?
A chain hoist lifts straight up from an overhead point and is easier over long lifts. A lever hoist is compact and works at any angle, so it suits pulling, tensioning, and short lifts.
What power do the electric hoists need?
The Jet electric chain hoists here are listed as 3-phase. Confirm your shop has 3-phase service before choosing one. If not, consider a hand chain hoist or the Milwaukee M18 cordless chain hoist.
