Suitable Applications: Yale D85 Chain Lever Hoist
Almost unlimited applications in maintenance, mining, construction, steel fabrication, shipbuilding and utility work, oil and gas industries. Ideal for moving and spotting heavy machines and securing heavy loads, it simplifies setting pipes, etc, in manholes and trenches.
The graphite cast iron load sheave for the link chain has precision-machined chain pockets for accurate fit and durability of the load chain. The roller chain sprocket is made from heat-treated chromium-molybdenum steel with precision-machined teeth to ensure smooth chain movement.
Every Yale ratchet lever hoist is factory tested with overload. The units are supplied with a test certificate showing the serial number. Operating instructions which contain an EC declaration of conformity are also attached to each unit.

Yale Lever Hoist Information
Yale Hand Lever Hoists are versatile, portable units for pulling, tensioning, lashing and lifting of loads. The operation of the Hand Lever hoists is easy and safe. Lightweight, robust, malleable cast iron model, free chaining, slip clutch, stamped steel- or aluminium housing, low operating effort - in the Yale product range, you will always find an optimal hoist for every type of operation. The brake system of all Yale hand lever hoists is based on the original Yale patent of the British engineer Thomas A. Weston, dating back to 1875. All parts of the load brake are made of high-quality materials and are protected against corrosion.
The engineering principle behind the load brake finds its rightful place in all hand lever hoists worldwide. Yale exclusively uses asbestos-free friction discs in all their hoists. The surface-protected zinc-plated alloy steel chains fulfil all the requirements of national and international standards and regulations. In accordance with safety regulations, the chain stops are designed to withstand double the rated capacity to ensure the chain does not unintentionally run free. The drop forged load and suspension hooks that yield under overload instead of breaking are made of high tensile steel and are standard for all Yale hoists. The hooks are fitted with robust safety latches and rotate 360°.
The Yale D85 is a lever hoist that is least likely to need a review. I is commonly known as the 'Original' lever hoist with hoists still in service after more than 30 years. The D85 is made from cast steel and to be fair it is heavier and costs more than most on the market though if durability is what you need then the D85 is the one to go for. Capacities go up to 10 tonne and it can be supplied with roller chain and overload protection.
