Millimeter-Precise Control and Superior Ergonomics for Industrial and Offshore Pulling and Lifting
The Loquen Lever Hoist is the ultimate tool for operations requiring maximum control, safety, and efficiency when lifting, tensioning, and pulling loads in confined spaces or areas without available power. Developed to meet the most demanding international standards, it delivers the robustness required by the offshore, mining, and heavy construction industries, combining superior ergonomics with exceptionally low operating effort.
1. Competitive Performance Advantages
- Highly Efficient Ergonomic Operation: Thanks to its optimized mechanical design and high-precision gearing system, the effort required to operate the lever when lifting the maximum rated load ranges from only 200 N to 360 N. This significantly reduces operator fatigue and accelerates field operations.
- Self-Locking Brake with Acme Thread: Equipped with a braking system in which the brake seat and operating shaft are coupled through an Acme-type thread. This mechanical design ensures immediate and secure locking, preventing load slippage under constant load conditions.
- ATEX-Compliant Bearings: Designed to operate safely in potentially explosive atmospheres, such as oil and gas facilities and offshore platforms, its supporting gears and shafts feature roller bearings that comply with stringent ATEX requirements.
- Highly Corrosion-Resistant Bushings and Bearings: Uses specially engineered bushings and bearings that minimize the need for constant lubrication while providing excellent protection against salt-induced oxidation and severe weather conditions.
- Non-Slip Rubberized Handle: The operating lever is fitted with a special oil-resistant rubber grip. This ensures a firm and secure hold even in conditions involving grease, water, or rain.
2. Integrated Safety Engineering
- High-Strength Grade 80 Load Chain: Factory-equipped with a high-strength Grade 80 load chain (in accordance with EN 818-7), precisely calibrated to prevent jamming in the internal chain wheel. For extreme-duty applications, Grade 100 chain is available as an option.
- Overload Limiter and Enlarged End Stop: An active overload protection device is available as an option to help prevent operational accidents. In addition, its enlarged end stop is designed to withstand dynamic forces of up to 2.5 times the equipment’s rated load.
- Forged Hooks with Anti-Break Safety Latches: The upper and lower hooks are manufactured from forged alloy steel and heat-treated. They feature reinforced safety latches and are designed to undergo visible deformation under extreme overload conditions, providing a visual safety indicator before mechanical failure occurs.
